Of course Oliveira is better than Baldock. Baldock might run around a bit but ultimately he's a League 1 striker who may score you 10 goals in the Championship, if you're lucky. That's a very good season for a player like him and he'd have to play out of his skin to achieve it. Oliveira does not no...

scumbag it's laughable that anyone says we don't need Oliviera, he transformed our season.

Hooper has a far superior record at this level as a goal scorer. plays more games and scores far more goals.

This is Reading, not many do

Let's hope it is just the words.

I think he’d certainly consider going. Whether Celtic could afford the fee and wages is another matter entirely I can’t see it happening Celtic can easily afford the fee and wages, their average gate is around 58000 https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/celtic-break-through-100m-mark-in-record-year-of...

CountryRoyal We should just give him a pro contract and then if he still wants to go abroad loan him out.

We made him an offer and he's turned it down

I think it’s down to both players to decide as both are still under contract. Gmac’s is 32 in a few days and Gunter turns 30 this July. Do they look for one last move this summer, or do they stay and contribute both on and off the pitch and then leave on a free in 12 months. Or does the club recogn...

I see the club will have a new online "ticket office" website and we'll all have to register and create new accounts after it goes live on 16th May in order to be able to buy online. New system as well for buying club shirts etc. Considering the hames the current crowd made of the Comic R...

Hound we did send a load of scouts over there recently apparently, so there's a chance certainly

He hasn't threatened to shoot anyone or tie them up for a least a year so that's something.

Royalwaster We're not going to shift players by paying up contracts ... rather it will be by letting them go on a free. No point wasting money on paying up contracts.

What if they don't want to go ?

Good to hear Jose has turned Novakovich’s loan club down regarding another loan and said the striker is not for sale. Interesting summer ahead for our younger players! If Oliveira does come in as well then I think we’ll almost certainly see the back of Baldock and Jon Dadi. ...and McNulty . If it w...

Re. 1st paragraph, I'd like to think we could sign one of them permanently by getting rid of the dead wood. Signing a second one permanently may be dependent on us selling Swift and/or Moore. And yes, getting another 1 or 2 re-signed on a loan again would be great. Re. 2nd paragraph, that scouting ...

Basically Reading need a goalkeeper, central defender, a DM, a general CM, an AM and a striker so basically they have to replace the 6 loans they have had at the club since January. With FFP being taken seriously by Reading it is currently unlikely that permanent deals could be struck for any of th...

Eaststandman To the knockers, Loader says feck you!

Those two sit just behind me

Yet again your lack of football knowledge is astounding. Nova is miles better then LOLoader. I think cutting our ties with Loader now is the best option. So you think getting rid of a Reading born lad who is still 18 years old is the best option. He's represented England at U16,U17,U18 and under 19...

Rather have Shane long than Oliviera, much more of a team player

sandman Bit of an ask to send a teenage lad over to the continent.

LOL, The Lads agent was trying to get him a permanent move to Germany before the Club gave him an extended contract, Loader himself was up for the move.

If Jose had ruled Eza outhe woukdn’t Have given him time for the U23 side or kept him beyond January. He’d be a cheap signing and him Baker and Rino would form a really powerful midfield 3 if we wanted to play that way. He’d be a cheap signing and him Baker and Rino would form a really powerful mid...
