Sounds like Joao :)


Great case in point.


bit harsh on Joao - he did it about 20 times last season. Just fell away at the end


My comment was merely in relation to Sheff Wed fans telling us how he has 1 good game in 5.

Is their scouting department just 1 guy who hides in a bush outside Bearwood?

I have been on Twitter this morning so it might have been a subconscious thing.

Well we're not getting Kyle Edwards

https://twitter.com/therealedwardo/stat ... 2256741379

Just wanted to say a quick thank you to @ReadingFC
for the pre season experience. Unfortunately couldn’t get pen to paper due the current situation. A great club with great people wish them all the best for the season


Does that seem like we wanted him but couldn't afford him? Or, we didn't want him, but hye's just pleading financial restrictions stopped the deal...

Reads like the latter to me. Nothing doing move on with no face lost.

Of course the resident Twitter fans are going ballistic about it saying how it shows how screwed we are despite saying how poor he looked just days ago.

Possibly another club in for him and so signed there due to the uncertainty

We can only sign players for a year as I understand it, leaves us in a poor position to sign someone like him

We are looking at journeymen at the end of their careers or released youngsters like Onen last season...

Hopefully we can get lucky somewhere but doesn't look good

Only if the latter and not FFP you surely would've expected us to be signing players by now. Our squad lacked depth last season. This season it lacks players!

Not the end of the world we've missed the boat on him. He could with more game time have been a good player but wasn't overly convinced in the pre season games.

I'm more worried if the EFL won't even let us sign free agents. We've hardly got any players! They really don't like us do they. Especially if they allow Derby to sign 5 players

Yes, really don’t get the Derby situation, how many times above the market valuation did they sell their ground to their owner for yet they don’t seem to have fallen foul for that. Perhaps if Mr Dai had done a similar overpriced purchase Reading would have been better off. Or am I missing something in it all?

They're likely fooked this season, but I don't think they got found guilty of anything on the actual value of the stadium.

As for them signing players, they were down to much lower numbers than us so it's from a lower base.

If they've got Baldock and Aluko for two thirds or half what we were paying them, then hard to see the problem with the signings (other than quality)

Have they actually signed anyone yet? Thought they were in much the same boat as us waiting for the efl to tell them what they can do

Completely get the rule about only being able to get free agents, but the rule about only being able to sign them for a year is pants. Clubs should be able to sign them for more than 1 year so long as the wage is sensible. After all, isn’t that a more sustainable approach?

Completely in agreement. I think the EFL should take it on a case by case basis. If wages are within a sensible structure then what's the problem
