tmesis I have to agree. Our recruitment has been terrible. It's as if our transfer policy is to assume that if we sign enough midfielders, eventually we'll find some who'll do a good job when put together in the team.

Midfielders? Wide players more like. Beerans, Aluko, McCleary, Harrott, Popa, Barrow.

Sutekh Even Hammond wouldnt have got a striker at the stupid prices being quoted and the players wanted were not for sale anyway according their clubs at the time.

Sutekh Doesnt the signing of players somewhat have to do with what the management want to do? If Stam doesnt think a player is good enough then the club wont sign them. I doubt very much that Tevreden just goes out and gets players without the agreement of the management team.

And how can Gourlay be blamed for anything? He only arrived in July, doesnt hold the purse strings and if other clubs dont want to do business with Reading as a result that’s not his fault.
That said splaffing loads of money out for Aluko (and on an idiot length contract too) was inexcusable esp. as that money could have been used to make improved bids on more useful players.

leon There were posters who thought Hammond was a shit DoF. After all the great deals he did. Twats.
The man who even Neil Warnock grudgingly paid respect to saying he drove an utterly hard bargain and squeezed blood out of a stone (his words)
