Thankfully we will be able to close this one down very soon...Leeds are close to doing a loan deal for Maddison ,although reports are saying they face late competition from Villa...dont think we were ever in the race tbh...and given our current situ, for Maddison, those 2 are far more attractive off...

According to 'WhoScored' he was the 15th best attacking player in the Eredevisie last season. For reference, Mason Mount was the 18th. On the other hand, Mount scored 9 and assisted 8 in 2162 minutes, Odegaard scored 2 and assisted 1. Think whats more important is how those stats compare to what ou...

He didnt want the move anyway...didnt want to move south ..hardly that much of a distance...that was the reason he gave anyway..

Reading are apparently looking to complete 2 loan deals before the window closes. One is reportedly expected to be a winger. May well be Maddison who was not in Posh’s squad today. Can imagine trying to sort a loan deal with McAnthony and Fry would be like pulling teeth one by one with no anaesthet...

..so would appear that for all the talk..maybe his wage demands in the end were too excessive ...no club, and many if media is to be believed , took the punt ...is he all that is now the question..

Forgive me if I'm wrong but surely you can't start a bidding war when the player has a release clause (rumoured to be £2.5m). The only way we can be outdone is on wages, but then the player might prefer the prospect of more regular football at Reading over a few extra thousand pounds a week. I thin...

Watching SSN just now and they were going through Brightons transfer deals in and out over the summer and they were showing £5m fee for Baldock!!...surely not?? ...if so then we should definitely hold out for the full £15m for Moore

Reading that Maddison is now supposedly a 2 horse race between Leeds and WBA...will be a good buy for whichever of these two get him...

Forget Maddison. Their owner confirmed we were interested but baulked at the players wage demands. We're out and haven't been back in since. His wage demands prb goes someway to explain that despite the supposed huge interest in him from championship clubs (as stated by Boro and Chairman)..no deal ...

Prb is that it appears currently that the club doesnt want to be spending notable amounts on a player(s)...so selling Barrow and Moore for c10m a piece will prb see 80-90% retained with little made available to replace permanently..then we get into loan syndrome... Gourlay had said money was availa...

Zip I was hoping the playmaker was Maddison. He has a proven record at Division one level.

Would be a good acquisition, but I think both Leeds and WBA are closing in on a potential deal for him..

Clement saying on SSN still expecting 1 or 2 more to join before Friday, but if not, then will use the loan extension period

Is everyone against him joining basing it on footballing reasons or just from blind hatred of the player for being such an utter vile human? On footballing reasons - If we didn't already have O'Shea it would be a little bit more tempting but i think we have enough shading has beens recently. So its...

Yep agreed with both of the above. A creative attacking midfielder is I suppose dependent on whether PC has seen enough of Swift to think he is up to the job. Jury obvs out at the moment CB to replace Moore and I’ll be happy enough Maddison in would complete a decent window Agree..Maddison would be...

SpaghettiHoop Thought they were buying Bamford.

Maybe they are but they had also agreed an £11m deal with Derby for Vydra..but his personal demands killed the deal..now Derby cant buy Waghorn for £8m ..for fear of breaching FFP regulations..

That medical should have been done and dusted by now and we should have announced the player by now then, god knows what's holding it up, but we need more than just a striker to make us competitive. A number 10 after the striker has been signed would be a good start. A replacement for Moore and per...

Supposedly Reading are currently a medical away from a striker (which every one is expecting to be Sam Baldock). The club are NOT expecting any further permanent signings but may make a move or two in the loan market which apparently stays open until end of August. That medical should have been don...

Funny how Tevreden has been as quiet as a door mouse since our recruitment policy went t*ts up with his splashing cash on garbage ...
