And of course the fact that NO other players have been touted at all so most likely we will have a couple of panic buys over the next week that could prove even more costly. That's a FACT is it? :lol: Like the rest of us as far as what goes on behind the scenes you know absolutely fcuk all. There'v...

TBM season ticket holders can go............everyone else, save your money - after all its not going back into the club

I can't see many people paying to see this shit anyway, so it won't be much of a boycott.

It's kind of funny if I'm honest, the clubs management are reaping what they have sown. Too tight, complete lack of skill in the Smith negotiations, and our so called saviour isn't coming ! Wonder if they will now realise we need a few more players with experience to steadythis ship. Well done to a...

Smith was due to be unveiled as a Royals player this afternoon - indeed, the Watford Observer understands a press conference had been called and the media were already assembled, only for officials to be left red faced when Smith failed to show. Thats embarassing Rumour has it he was asked to do th...

Terminal Boardom I thought that Russo said that the deal was off.

But there was a bit of a rumour about a medical ....

If this goes through this will be a total spend of £3.8 million so far plus whatever loan fee we played for the Chelsea rent boy. That's a lot more than we ever spent prior to going up .... remember when £1million for LL seemed a lot of money!

this story doesn't ring true - the source says he will sign when he is fit, but was apparently playing for their reserves this week in that game that was reported in NOW that was abandoned because of a mass brawl he broke his ankle in February and only just training again now. Playing in the reserv...

How ridiculous. The guy has just joined, has to play almost a new team of young and talented players, who lack experience, and you are calling for him to leave? I think it will take half a season to get them playing coherently and the signing of a hungry experienced striker to make us competitive. ...

Someone's just texted me saying Tommy Smith had a medical with us today, any truth in that?

shaka's shorts this story doesn't ring true - the source says he will sign when he is fit, but was apparently playing for their reserves this week in that game that was reported in NOW that was abandoned because of a mass brawl

Do any rumours on this site ring true?

What's a 'commar' - is it something like a 'comma'?

Brilliant contribution, Ian!

And it's taken you six days to respond to that? Great contribution from you Steve ..

Wait for all the other teams with any players worth selling putting up their price by at least a million .... we've got money to spend after all haven't we?

FiNeRaIn Went off with a hamstring strain today- xray tomorrow, bye bye smith. Lock thread.

Man you really are a tool - if you're going to come up with drivel, come up with sensible drivel - xraying a hamstring strain? I'm pissing myself laughing - what do you think an xray is going to show?

Seems to me that these past league games have been pretty awful displays if i'm completely honest and BR just seems determined everything will be just fine and dandy, all this 'its only a matter of time' i don't mean to jump ship before its sailed but i very much he can just leave things and hope f...

Sir Dodger Royal Sheffield United's offer was full of add ons. It wasn't cash up front. Real Facts.

Sir Dodger Royal is an imbecile who doesn't have 2 brain cells Realllllllllll Factssssssssssssss

For once I agree with SDR - very unlikely Sheffield United's offer would have been a straight cash offer.

My RTG glasses are well and truly off. I have not been more negative before a match for many years. I really do not see us competing with Sheffield - who I see as one of the main promotion candidates so a 2-0 to them looks likely. Share the same feeling - am taking the whole family to the game, and...

My beef has always been that I want the club to be trying to move forward and make the most of the opportunity and resources it has available. Personally I think we stopped doing that for a while under Coppell. That might not have been completely down to him, but I apportion a lot more of the 'blam...

Birmingham fans don't rate McSheffrey for some reason, but I always thought he looked great whenever we played against him when he was still at Coventry. Maybe he's too inconsistent?

We are crying out for a player like Tommy Smith but Reading's handling of this has been nothing short of shambolic. Rumours are rife this morning of fresh bids for Smith from 4 clubs - 3 local and one up north i.e. Newcastle. None of us know exactly what is going on and why this is being delayed bu...
