Re: BFT(final)G

Was going to post but my ratings would be pretty much the same. Rinomhota down one and ejaria down two and the rest are equal Thought Gunter put in four absolute teasing crosses in the first half, but did nothing in the second half. He’s shown he can do it but he seems to retreat to his shell too o...

Re: BFT(final)G

Which raises a question about Martinez Not being with them. Came into the East Stand (in front of us in Y24) to present a large bouquet of flowers to a lady. (I believe the guy with her is connected to STAR). Nice. The lady he presented the flowers to sorts out the goalkeeper's jerseys for him. App...

Re: Club 1871 - the What, When, Where, How, Who & Why Thread

Flying over for this game, looking forward to being in the South Stand. Only arrive in Reading around 11:30. Is there anywhere at the stadium to leave my suitcase, or am I going to have to make my own arrangements? Find them as lost and hand in at anywhere.. then collect them later as yours? Might ...

Re: Next Season's Squad.

Don’t think Gunter has the aura to drive forward the younger kids, you could see how spineless he was when he was captain for a brief spell Possibly McCleary though I suppose I'd say Gunter is a great role model for the younger players, he is a model professional. +1 never really injured either so ...

Re: Next Season's Squad.

This is forgetting the likes of McIntyre, Osho, Barrett etc but they should be kept on anyway. Not sure what Southwood and Ward are like in all honesty Sam Smith valued at 1 million was a bit of a joke. Jonathan Low has improved massively but that's ridiculous, Smith is just the striker version of ...

Re: Financial Fair Play

Probably a bit too tinfoil hat, but I wonder if the increasingly tight capital controls by the Chinese authorities (essentially making it more and more difficult to get money out of China) will have an impact on the number of of Chinese owned football clubs (2 in PL, 4 in championship). Aside from ...

Re: Liam Moore Interview

I don't buy the Moore love. Anyone can go round kissing the badge and claiming to love the club, but this is the man who cost us promotion and handed in a transfer request. It's only because he's not worth the overly inflated price we were demanding from him that he didn't go to Brighton. All of a ...

Re: Speculation - Players From The Relegated Trio

Other Champ clubs would fancy McNulty, Kelly, Gunter, Jaakola, Blackett, Richards No they wouldn't but please if you know any get on the phone and let them know. Snowy, we were almost relegated. From the 3 clubs that did get relegated, we've only identified 2 players on this thread that we might be...

Re: Financial Fair Play

They will have sent instructions to their UK bank to make the transfers - but then the bank would have stopped them once insufficient funds were in the account to process them. Let's hope the bank charges don't reflect the amount of money they were trying to pay out then. Suspect billionaires aren’...

Re: Next Season's Squad.

Rumours that Popa has agreed a perm deal with Ludogrets also mention that we might be interested in Livingstone 'Keeper Liam Kelly for 50k. Apparently a 'modern-day' keeper who is good with the ball at his feet, so would fit Two Liam Kellys there's only 2 Liam Kellys ... He's from Livingstone He's ...

Re: Speculation - Players From The Relegated Trio

Halford was before Fae but I though Fae was our record signing for a while? Maybe you're right and it was Ilori who cosg us more. I cant remember.. yes was Ilori about 3.75m I believe. Moore was between 1 and 1.5m from the reports I think Gunter adn Mariappa were both rumored to be around £3m betwe...

Re: STs for season 2019/2020

I can't see the prices going up. Football is changing, the live midweek games put some people off attending when it's on the red button and the fact season ticket holders can bring other supporters along for £10 for these games means that if you are a season ticket holder (unless you go to all 23 m...

Re: Financial Fair Play

Also, someone like Gunter, who has been here a while but is past his peak would possibly be on more than a better player signed in leaner times He renewed just after the play-off season, didn't he? If so I expect his salary would reflect that season (and also the fact that Boro wanted him at the ti...

Re: Financial Fair Play

I'm inclined to think that anyone in the Top 10 earners who isn't a regular starter when fit needs to be moved on. You'd certainly hope to spend most money on the most effective players. There'd need to be a pretty good reason for paying a back up player more than the guy starting. Only reason is i...

Re: The only slightly more advanced than shots/possession statistics thread

Ram Srinivas ( @ramesss ) has provided another chart on Championship full backs, this time showing Yiadom as significantly different to Blackett/Gunter, with the second highest successful dribbles of all full/wing backs in the league, at 4.1 a game. Gunter and Blackett both hover just below the lea...
