Re: Readings most underrated and overrated players are....

RG30 Marek Matejovsky easily the most overrated of all time.


The guy was well infront of anything we had at the time. Serious serious player who saw passes we should be making. The movement and vision of the guy was the best I had seen for a while when he arrived

Re: Mark Bowen

The fact is that this summer will be another massive transition again for the club, whether we survive or not - and I for one am hopeful that Bowen is still part of it. It will need sensible heads in the right positions to make footballing judgements on players and staff - I cannot see Ince (either ...

Re: Joao to West Brom nonsense.

We would still be foolish to turn down £7-£10 million in our state. The rolling three years FFP would look better on the sale and IF Zahore was part of the deal it could be a good deal all round. I really don’t want to lose Joao but we need to learn from previous errors. Anyone who thinks we will st...

Re: If money was no object...

I would count out those managers in the prem already but look at a manager/set up that could get their teeth into a project. I still rate the Cowley’s and believe Portsmouth will be in a much better position this year. For sure though Potter and Cooper would of been the two I would of looked at othe...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cardiff City (h)

We stood off Cardiff far too much today and allowed crosses into the box - against a proven ‘9’ we might get punished for this later in the season. Marking for their goal was dire and thought we would be in for a long afternoon Absolute Red Card, did feel Ince played for it a little but fair play to...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

Cannot see Stoke taking both but happy to be proven wrong. I still think by the end of the window, fans will be surprised by the quality of players we have been able to attract in our situation. Even last season, we attracted premier league winners, a striker who was bout for £35 million and a inter...

Re: Freebies

Like last summer, some were scratching their heads on how we were able to get Rahman and Drinkwater, under the predicament we was in. This summer we have already saved over £100k a week, one or two OOC players will sign on but we will still make a huge saving over the course of the season with the w...

Re: BFTG - Brum

How we went in at half time level escapes me, made it too easy to split the full back/centre half and pull the ball back along the box. Thought Henandez and Taylor completely bossed the first half. Second half we came out, pushed swift further forward and showed what we can do when we get players ar...

Re: Andy Carroll

It does not seem weird… the guy came here to show his fitness and seek an opportunity, be it with us or someone else. The fact remains, if he wanted to stay he would of signed already. He could be a cult hero wherever he goes - getting Bournemouth promoted or saving us from relegation. You can’t hat...

Re: What do you think of the owners? Poll

The owners gambled, in didn’t pay off yet we still remain competitive in the league - there is no reason that this team cannot push for a playoff place with this team. Over the next couple of months we get the majority of the team back, plus with the punishment being finalised, Reading are surely ne...

Re: Rival Watch

I feel for Derby here, we must have been close in the past and must remain close to a points deduction with our overspending.

Again I appreciate their fitness/age issues… but what are you guys expecting right now?! We are in the middle of the biggest s*** show this club has faced in the modern era. Fair play to whoever it is in convincing these players to drop down a league and play for us. Can you imagine the experience i...

Re: Chelsea defensive midfielder on loan

Although the transfer business has been concluded late, if the club manage to get a striker through the door tomorrow the buck has to stop at his door. The spine of the team could be changed with these signings (and striker) and if you told me before the end of the window we would have nearly £60 mi...

Re: How many players will we sign this summer?

I’m not sure getting the big earners off our wage bill now will make a difference to the position we are in - therefore it may even weaken our position. With FFP averaged over three years, the chances of a £20-£30k signing of the wage bill is unlikely to dent the deficit Wages from here will be an i...

Re: Olise being sold for £8m?

I think everyone is replaceable in football but Olise’s contribution last season will be tough to cover. I like Moore as a leader and a defender at this level but as Morrison has proved, there are people out there that can more than do a job. Think it will rely on what teams offer and when, I really...

Re: Olise being sold for £8m?

Think Paulo confirmed there was one last season, but didn’t say how much.

Rino 2 mill... that’s incredibly cheap

Moore 5 mill... again that seems a bargain for anyone picking him up

Guess someone is only worth what a team is willing to pay, time will tell

Re: Olise being sold for £8m?

The JLow report gets the valuations from a transfermarkt - I get that clubs will be forced to sell assets this summer due to the pandemic but it has seriously undervalued some players and can’t help but think it’s lazy Journo work. I like JLow but this was a nothing more than a ‘what if’ story. Fact...
