Reckon this could be a good appointment.
Maybe half an eye to a succession plan as Jose won't be here for ever and O'Shea has the credentials to make a good manager. Similar mold to Stam.

OK, maybe needs a bit more thought.....

I would imagine part of the process at the moment is to look at a long list of players that are out of contract and agree between all the relevant parties whether a player could be of benefit to the team. I’d rather take MM on a free than pay £5m for Pontus Jansson. I appreciate free transfers aren...

1. There isn't a quote from JG in the club's statement announcing the signing of the player (I get the team in on tour, but this is a simple PR exercise and it's not hard to draft something. It's a noteworthy omission.) 2. Howe's quote is “It was important we bolstered the defensive options availab...

Club statement is a bit ambiguous on whether Jose played any role in this at all. What on earth does this mean? 1. There isn't a quote from JG in the club's statement announcing the signing of the player (I get the team in on tour, but this is a simple PR exercise and it's not hard to draft somethi...

The stadium manager is probably one of the more clued up people at the club. Whatever the reason for the tim8ng of the work it won’t be that he forgot it needed doing. There’s been a fair bit of work going on at the ground, it might be that for safety reasons they needed to wait until there weren’t ...

yeah was from some Spanish source. Apparently not for sale at any price, but seriously it really might be for the best if they do offer a tidy sum Agreed. Anything over £3m I think we should snatch their hand off but with our owners playing hardball maybe we could get more? Might we be better looki...

Laughing my balls off,

Good lad!

May need to amend gender based on his comment.....

windermereROYAL Just read on FB he`s going to Germany, according to the mail.

Is that Ampadu or Miazaga ?

It’s a massive risk to ask a 17 year old not only to adapt to a more physical and pressured level of football but to also ask him to play in a position that he is not familiar with. While Olise may cope I think it could also really set him back. It would mean him playing a more disciplined role and ...

Having watched a couple of friendlies, this would probably be my intended XI for the start of the season if no more Ins/Outs currently. ........................Walker ..Yiadom, Moore, McIntyre, Blackett ...............Rinomhota, Olise Meite,........... Loader,............... Barrow ...................

if you're good enough you're old enough... comparing our youngsters to one of England's (wales) hottest prospects? :| Why would we not compare them ? I assume you probably think I was equating them, which is very different . I wasn’t Saying we shouldn’t get Ampadu, just pointing out that almost all...

Ian is right, Loader is not a number 9. If we got clever and played the false number 9 then ok. Having him, Olise and Barrett as a flexible front 3 worked to some extent against Birmingham but can’t see that formation working all season and obviously it excluded Meite and Barrow Loader is besT with ...

This lad has the same number of first team appearances that Omar Richards as. He’s younger than Danny Loader and the same school year as Olise People are saying we will struggle if the team is full of inexperienced youngsters Of course if they are other people’s inexperienced youngsters then that is...

Maybe ring the TO ?
In 30 seconds they will give you answer as to what you should be expecting.

that seems a recipe for disaster to me. fine to bring them through, and ease them in etc, but preferably not all in one go when you have no other choice Isn't that what we have done ? Rino, Loader, Olise, Richards, Watson have got decent experience in the last 12 months (Olise less experience but l...

If Chelsea have a connection with Derby, which Prem clubs do Reading have links with? There appears to be a goalkeeping link to Arsenal. Clement never appeared to bring in players from his old clubs, not Gourlay. And are we likely to get Leicester players as Rodgers was once our manager? Very scept...

Luton Barnsley Charlton all promoted, Charlton, in particular, are a financial mess and won't be signing anyone. we will have enough to stay up with the team we have at the moment, regardless of who else we might or might not sign QPR will be struggling big time too. Speaking to a QPR fan this morn...

He's seems to be getting more and more frustrated and who can blame him? Due to our financial position I can't see many coming in as we will struggle to get rid of players on high salaries. Does Gomes stay and risk relegation on his CV or will he take the pragmatic option and say I cant keep this t...
