Following the apparent appointment of Senor Mattos... @TalkReading tweeted Reading have held talks with São Paulo about signing Brazilian midfielders Felipe Araruna and Igor Liziero, the latter would cost €7 million #readingfc Just the likely work permit restrictions to work out then. I thought I r...

Cardiff leading 4-3 now.

Pele 10 - definitely winning most improved player of the year, superb That's a bold claim to make after 1 match...... It’s not been one match, he was excellent against QPR. HE’s the sort of player you don’t notice when he is doing well but errors and off days really show up as he plays in such a pi...

URZZZZ Pele 10 - definitely winning most improved player of the year, superb

That's a bold claim to make after 1 match......

It isn't nonsense. Referees are entitled to change their mind - you highlight that Atkinson ran over to Son with a yellow for the cynical foul. It almost immediately became clear to him that Son's tackle was actually 'serious foul play', because it had endangered the safety of his opponent, since t...

That was not a Gomes performance...with Gomes in charge we would probably have lost that game by conceding a soft goal through a defensive lapse.

The defence looked far more solid and comfortable with the more direct style of play.

At the moment we aren’t sticking the chances away, but at least we are creating them. The goals will come and the defence isn’t doing too bad.

Hound Is he the only one who left today or have I missed some others going?

Tom Holmes has gone to KSV Roeselare

Hope he gets his wages paid

Wages are paid by the parent club, with the loan club paying the parent club the wages they are contributing. So RFC have the risk, not Holmes.

John Smith True.

Anyway, the food is obviously first class but I think the queues make it pointless. Anyone disagree?

yes. massively

I've been thinking about this one over the weekend again for quite some time and I've decided Blue-collar Streetfood goes

Thankfully your decision counts for nothing.

Hendo Noticed that John the Greek was doing a roaring trade.

It was but the queue was mostly due to the time it took to make the orders. They had the same issue with the burrito stand against Chelsea.

I assume tomorrow is too soon for him. My biggest concern is things like cultural adaptation to Championship and language barrier with rest of the squad. Manage that well and it looks like a very exciting signing. He’s Brazilian isn’t he ? So speaks Portuguese ? We must have someone at the club who...

If he is to be used more on the left wing, then it frees up Barrow to play centrally more frequently. Also adds more fluidity to our front line with most of the players being able to play anywhere across the attacking positions.

Swansea might be losing McBurnie to Sheffield Utd for £17m.

All this does is go to show how little Ian knows about football. Quite hilarious considering how he is the most vocal and condescending about it. Completely agree, I don't post on here much any more but I have made a couple recently and he has responded in an arrogant manner claiming to know everyt...

My understanding is that Birmingham were also under a soft embargo, but they broke it - hence the 9 point deduction (they bought in Pederson for over 2 mill and didn't sell anybody - previous season they bought 17 mill of players and sold 4 mill). If we breach FFP, but are seen to be trying to do t...

I would imagine the soft embargo was imposed as the EFL consider that last seasons trading may result in RFC exceeding the £39m losses allowed over the last 3 year period. Although this has been lifted it seems the club are only signing loan players or free transfers. Remember Birmingham only had t...

Take the examples of Popa, Baldock and Meyler and there are certainly indications around that they aren't willing to take paycuts, or require their contract paid up in full to leave. No such suggestions for Gunter. McCleary has a poor injury record. But if Gunter was as good as claimed, he'd be wor...

Surprised Gunter is still here. Must be wage related as he’s suit a lower end Champ club or top end L1. Meyler apparently has lots of interest in L2 but is said to be holding out for L1. Think both will be gone before deadline day. But of one in the eye for all those who said Gunter was brilliant. ...

Snowflake Royal He tries to trick his way through too much, plays extravagant balls, ignores simple passing and is positionally clueless when not in possession.

Can we see the stats to back that up? Or is it just your opinion?

Just wondering that is all........

Charlie Adam might be slow physically, but mentally he is light years ahead of Kelly. Adam has great vision for picking a pass and has awareness of the game around him. Kelly was forever getting caught in position because he was just too slow in picking a pass. On top of that, Adam is excellent at ...
