DOYLERSAROYALERRoyalJonesSutekh Supposedly Reading are currently a medical away from a striker (which every one is expecting to be Sam Baldock).
The club are NOT expecting any further permanent signings but may make a move or two in the loan market which apparently stays open until end of August.
That medical should have been done and dusted by now and we should have announced the player by now then, god knows what's holding it up, but we need more than just a striker to make us competitive. A number 10 after the striker has been signed would be a good start. A replacement for Moore and perhaps another winger depending on injuries.
The same striker that was meant to have joined the squad on Austria ??..the wheels of industry certainly arent turning fast in the transfers office!
Indeed, let's get Baldock announced this evening and then turn our attentions to getting a central attacking midfielder and a replacement for Moore if he is going. We have no time to waste, especially with the early window closure.
..for fear of breaching FFP regulations..
But as I recall, we assessed him as our prospective manager, and discussed his credentials and resume. In so doing, I do believe there was some discussion, accurate or otherwise, of how since he had worked abroad, he would likely have a network, with links and contacts and acquaintances, that might facilitate us having some access and exposure to some foreign players, that we may not otherwise have? If in fact it transpires that he currently doesn't have that string to his bow to help benefit us, so to speak, or indeed that never had it, then so be it, I guess.
