Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

Mentions on Twitter of Tyler Burey, Sam Clucas and Harlee Dean

Thought clucas would be alright then realised he’s 33 in September

Thought the former was now at Oxford? Wouldn't be against any of them though, they'd all be good options for this level.

Definitely need to start moving towards building a midfield though. Clucas can play there but seems more of a utility option.

Looks like the medical department will be busy again in the upcoming season.

Not sure there is much in any of those rumours

But always suprised someone decent hasn’t picked up Dean yet. Always thought he looked good and only 31

32 on 26 July, still a decent option to look at though.

Seem to remember Dean is good mates with Michael Morrison so perhaps he's put in a good word for us?

I’m starting to think that Walcott can’t be happening as I thought he’d have signed already. I hope he does as I still believe he’d be great in League One.

Currently on holiday apparently.

Looks like we are set to announce Smith.

The club have posted a video with a phone ringing with "Agent Knibbs" as the caller within the last 5 minutes.

Not keen on all the smith talk. If he didn’t have the reading link would people still be interested? Think we could do better or someone with more potential and younger. Carrol, knibbs, big kelv, Clarke, azeez, potentially Walcott. He either blocks two younger lads or is just a squad filler with not a lot re sale value.

Smith is established at League One level, and has scored fifteen and thirteen goals in his past two seasons for Cambridge in the league - only missing a single game in that time; getting someone in who we know can score goals at this level would be a big boost. I'd also have Knibbs, Azeez and (potentially) Walcott as wide/deeper attacking players as opposed to an out and out striker - meaning our striking options would be Carroll, Ehib, Clarke and Smith should he sign.

Yes from me - he's still only 25. Looks like this has now happened.

Smith confirmed on a 3 year deal

Man at the Mirror expecting Amos to sign too

Smith in at #readingfc and expect Amos to follow him to the Berkshire club

[Hound]

From the press conference sounds like door is open to Walcott but not an official offer. Mbengue is training with us

Also sounds like Amos will join at some point shortly, though that not from Selles

[Brogue]

We are working in some limitations that are still not clear to us. We can work right now with free agents and loan players and we are working on the transfer fees and how we manage that with the league

Smith confirmed on a 3 year deal

Nice to finally sign someone on a 3 year deal rather than just for 1 year.

We signed Knibbs on a three-year deal.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Anybody else in hyper impatient mode? Since Selles suggested more signings in "hours and days", nothing else has happened.

[Sutekh]

Luke Amos expected to be next, not exactly exciting but functional I suppose.

[MartinRdg]

10 more signings? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66227027

[YorkshireRoyal99]

More than I thought it would be that's for sure, but not totally surprised either. That shows where he thinks the squad is at anyway.
