Pepe the Horseman Anyone else noticed how much @ReadingFC have been bigging up Meite? Won't be long before PC tells us he's like a new signing.
sounds like he is doing well, so I suppose he is really.

CountryRoyal PC clearly sees him as someone that can play the cf role. Did he score a few at Sochaux last season?
Tbh I thought our days of playing wingers up top were over

you're a barrel of laughs at the moment CR
He'll only play CF if he is playing the CF role well. He is much bigger and stronger than the likes of Aluko or GMac who were up top at times last season

I think you might be right. All that unified ICH drinking singing loving each other bullshit really got to me.
Now I feel deflated, cynical and just a bit meh.

dunno, just taking the comments from people who have watched him play this pre-season, not the official.

Hound do agree Victor to an extent, and I think Lampard has pulled off a great coup getting those two in. Pretty much every other club in the division would have happily taken either
I do wonder how often these players actually end up a success though. Tammy Abraham obviously, but for every one of him, there seems to be a number of Lewis Baker's.

I think the key is not all signings are right for all clubs... Clement has clearly identified experience and mental strength as a weakness in our squad (he's not bloody wrong!) and that's what he's targeting. No matter the quality of the academy player, they don't bring those attributes to the team.
Once we've got that solid footing again, we can then start to look for the more bright young thing talent to help take us the next step, along with some more spectacular proven talent. But I firmly think that one of our main problems last season was a squad that just didn't have it in them to roll up their sleeves, get stuck in and work their way out of trouble, even though there was some quality within the squad.
Take Baldock for example, yeah he's not the striker to take us to the top of the table. But he improves our current squad, adds some reliable hardworking quality and he should be good enough to stick around for a good few seasons. He can be here to support someone better when we can sign them as a more attractive prospect.
