Before the summer Deadline Day as a Reading fan was like Christmas for a homeless kid. There was a degree of excitement around, but deep down inside you knew you weren't getting anything.

I bet Howe, Hammond and Madejski sit around in Johns Penthouse in lounge pants playing fifa, eating pizza and drinking posh wine all evening laughing their cocks off at others spending money on Deadline Day,. Each in turn throwing in a quick Jim White impression to howls of drunken laughter (and the odd squeak) from the others.

It's The Reading Way

Latest reports are Pardew has said Speroni is staying at Palace and another keeper may be going out on loan "to get him up to speed". Can't see Mccarthy coming here, after all if it is him, it appears he wasn't up to speed when he left here!

YateleyRoyal As they have done for a few windows now. A lot of teams also use FM for scouting as its actually a valuable tool.


I don't think that's quite true Yateley. A few have admitted they've used the database to look up players but I think it's a massive jump to say they use it for scouting as such.

McDermott has said that Reading use Wyscout though. It's well worth looking at, if you're interested in that kind of thing, and is a bit like a real world FM game with stats and video's tagged for all kinds of things and searchable databases of players.

And you can get a free 14 day demo of it. Only shows the Belgium national team and all Belgium League teams. Very interesting content

Alan Pardew has revealed Alex McCarthy is likely to leave Crystal Palace on loan to a Sky Bet Championship club, although only on the basis that a replacement is found.

"He's a great goalie and we want to get him up to speed and get him back playing his best football, so he needs game time," Pardew said. "I took that option, rather than Jules [Speroni] going out, because Jules is Palace through and through and I want him around in case anything happens to Wayne."


If we were IN! for Speroners, can we be IN! for A-Mac now instead please?

Let's take a giant step back !
Just as al Habsi has put in a decent run of performances let's sign a bloke who since leaving us for bigger and better things has managed to make just NINE appearances for two very middle of the road clubs and is being sent out in order to sort his game out. Realy sounds like a positive sort of signing !!
