Give the bloke a chance folks. If it goes wrong it is only a year and we are desperately short of experienced players currently.

For all we know we have offered him a one year contact at £1500 pw which would not break the bank and CM is an area where we are very short of experience. Who knows he might regain some form. Having said that if we have offered more than a year that would be mental. should have just kept Liam Kelly...

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 i...

I think PADDY POWER should be in larger letters.

Seriously that is awful.

Still have not given up hope that we might get Ejaria, Baker and Miazga back. I would be happy with those three - even if we make no other signings this summer. Then next summer (assuming we survive) more high earners will have moved on, FFP will be less of an issue and we can make longer term plans.

Not too bothered about Oliveira as I think in terms of mentality and injury record he would be a big risk and I don't see up front as our major problem. IMO we look very light at Centre Back and Centre Mid. We have good Academy lads coming through in both positions (McIntyre, Holmes, Osho, East and ...

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...

Now we have Olise signed up I hope Loader follows!

Not sure if posted elsewhere, but Olise has signed a new year 3 deal Great news I think, on the small sample I've seen of him, he could be a star +1 Indeed - best news all summer so far IMO. I think he will break our outward transfer record in due course as a big club will eventually come in for him.

Not everyone chooses an occupation/lifestyle based off of money. Some people value the quality of their work and I would feel guilty earning as much as he does when he’s not doing anything for it if he’s not included in our squad But everyone thinks different thoughts and he may choose to take the ...

PistolPete Ejaria is not in either of the teams to play Tranmere. Seeing as the first team are, on the whole, still away (Mane, Salah, Firmino etc) that makes him arguably not even in Liverpool's third XI. Could this also be a 'done-deal'?

Yes he is going to Leeds.

So summary so far according to Friday Bod - Millwall McCleary - USA Kelly - Feyenoord Baldock - Charlton Also reported that there is likely to be another exit rumoured later Gone from not getting rid of any of the unwanted players to a flurry of rumours. Like London buses etc... Being reported that...

I have often thought that Kelly might do well in European football rather than the cut and thrust of the Championship. This move could be the making of him. I for one wish him well and hope we have a big sell on clause just in case!! Just for interest where did the 800K figure come from I thought it...

If true this would be utter madness IMO. So we ditch McNulty, Bod and Baldock - who might not be great but are all younger to bring in a player towards the end of his career who barely played last season and is not a hold the ball up striker. Must be paper talk or else those running RFC had been tak...

This seems an odd move to me. It would be pointless bring him in other than as number 1 - as we had Southwood et al that could have taken the number 2/3 role and plenty of Academy keepers and so if true we must be bringing in as first choice. Would seem a big risk as he has zero league starts and he...

Reading FC have a lot of work to do before the transfer window ends on 8th August - less than 5 weeks now for "incoming" loan or permanent signings. I am not sure of the wisdom of alienating the large group of senior payers that have been excluded as there is a good chance that some of the...

Kelly's been treated very badly. 100% deserves to stay. Probably my biggest bone of contention with Gomes. I tend to take everything posted on here with a pinch of salt and looking at the video of everyone hanging out at training there's no beef whatsoever between Kelly and Gomes. Hopefully it's a ...

Apparently* the following players were not in training today and have been told to naff off as quickly as they possibly could please: Jon Dadi Bodvarsson Sam Baldock Marc McNulty David Meyler Chris Gunter Liam Kelly Prob no real shock except for Jon Dadi and would explain why we are interested in P...

Assuming that there are few if any signings I think we have to be realistic that if the squad as it is now can finish 21st or better next season that would be a success. Then at the end of next season another whole load of high earners will leave - which might provide a bit more wriggle room for new...
