Starting to feel like this is more likely a goer now. Unless Meite does indeed decide to move back to France.

Not sure how much he is paid at Nottingham Forest, say it was £12k a week and he has 1 year left on his deal. We're offering him a 3 year contract but for only £7k a week. That means he's not much better off joining us (£500k of wage but only over 2 years working out at £4.5k a week). Can see some l...

Knibbs pulled himself out of the squad for yesterday’s game due to his pending move to Charlton. https://rdg.today/reading-fc-star-knibbs-set-to-make-championship-move-as-fee-is-agreed/ Charlton also signing Charlie Kelman for £5m (incl. add ons). Someone needs to change this thread title when movi...

Our targets knowing we have money incoming will probably play tougher on wages now.

If we sell Knibbs but make the signings of Cole, Bowler and Doyle then fans moaning will quieten down.

If we don't sign anyone and we lose a couple of the first 3 games then Todd and Rob will get criticism after it being obvious we're light up front and creatively.

I think the new owners are right not to offer stupid wages and to try to run the club sustainably and I am still hopeful that Hunt will be able to fashion a competitive side during the next few weeks. However, we have lost most of our best players ex Wing and Pereira and so any thought of promotion...

Based on the squad now that League One website having us down finishing in 17th looks reasonable....the replacements for Bindon, Mbengue & Knibbs aren't anywhere near the same standard, and off the back of losing Smith in January. Agreed, our squad looks weak and 17th would be an abysmal season.

Define 'poor wages'.... Do you mean 'wages that are sustainable'...? Cakeism perhaps? As in other clubs in league one are offering more money Maybe they have sugar daddies.... Reading fans wanted an owner who would run the club sustainably... Maybe this is what it looks like... Under Madejski we we...

It's Charlton he's going to.

Good luck to him. Probably be seeing him play against us in a seasons time.

Linden Jones' Tash

Royal_jimmy Based on things that have been said on X apparently we're offering poor wages for players. Not going to attract decent promising talent by doing that.

Well, Knibbs won't be scoring any goals for us this season . . . . . Cryptic. If we get get a good fee I'm happy tbh. Fee could be used to (finally) sign Bowler and Cole, plus we could get a loan replacement too. Well if we want to sign those guys we need to increase the wages we've offered to them

Brogue Bid accepted from Wrexham this morning

They like signing players from us. Hopefully we'll fleece them

If it's 2.5m then take it

WestYorksRoyal Taking a while to complete. Hopefully not another Tommy Smith.

That was the most embarrassing saga ever. Think we offered something like 750k for him then he ended up going to Portsmouth for £1.2m despite agreeing to match Watford's asking price in the end

Sheff Utd looking likely. Don't think this will end well for Selles. Harvey Knibbs is a good player but is he good enough to be in a promotion winning championship team? I don't think so. If Selles waves a few million at us for him then take it and reinvest. Although not a like for like replacement...

1 year is a lot of time left on his contract and a reasonable one to be asking for a £2m+ fee considering his importance to our team. In a year we could be back in the championship and all of a sudden he's in that league anyway.

If the money is very good then sell, if not then keep

Snowflake Royal In a case of complete guesswork and gut feeling, I'd be looking roughly £500k with 1 year on his contract, £750k with Hammondesque negotiation.

Obviously double that for Wrexham

There is absolutely no way we should be selling Harvey Knibbs for 500k. That would be stupidity

Player alright, we look good in midfield but we really are light up front. A goal scorer is a priority.

Just as a follow up on Garcia the winger... he got 1 assist in 39 appearances as an attacking fullback last year. 0.2 shots per game, 0.3 key passes per game. It's not exactly signs of a winger in waiting. Having him as second/third choice winger maybe. Interesting stat there. He has some skill abo...
