Came here to post that tweet as well...

As you know all his Wife's family are from Reading and he's often here... but it's an odd tweet to make if it was just visiting them, and also he's deleted it.

Maybe he just wants to wind us up ...

Can you actually search on deleted tweets to see if it existed? Just feels like a fake to me.

No unfortunately not.

I initially had no doubt but now I'm not sure. Will see if others spotted the tweet independently ...

It's more that someone has pointed out the time and date in an odd format

Eg 09/08/17 and not 2017

Also just looks a bit photoshopped

Siem de Jong?
Struggling to find a striker that might want to come to us...

Could do better than us, and WCBAP. Also a bit of a crock while he's been at Toon.

some chat from JLow that Sheff Weds are looking to offload Jordan Rhodes

Not sure he falls into the bracket of players I'd like to sign, but may be of some interest to Stam and co. Obv depends on fee and wages, expect he is on a fair bit

Rhodes is probably the most overrated player in the championship.

Yeah, those 3 consecutive seasons of 20+ goals in the Championship were such a fluke :P

Not been great for the last couple of seasons, but if he were available and we had the money, I'd take him in a heartbeat.

They'll want to at least recoup the £10m they spent on him though.

Of course overall he has a good goal scoring record but he doesn't do enough for the team. Certainly not worth the money he'd be available for imo.

That being said, with our current striking options I'd be more than happy :lol:

Yeah the phrase "beggars can't be choosers" is certainly applicable, if someone with his goalscoring record came up for a good price then I'd bite Wednesday's hand off.

And maybe we need an ALF-type player who is solely there to put the ball in the net

I think Stevie May would suit our style of play really well. Not exactly prolific though.

They'll want to...

but realistically he should have lost value. He was useless for them last year

Reckon they'd taken 7-8
