Royal Ladybigmike Maybe he would like Reading to follow the blue print that David Murray set out ... Spend over the top for foreigners who don't quite make the grade then pay for it years down the line by having to sell your best players to keep your heads above water..
Why do we always sell our best players then? Sidwell, Shorey, Doyle to name but 3. Do we know FOR CERTAIN that we bid £2 million for this Doncaster bloke? Only with Smith, who was valued at £1.8 million we only bid £750k didn't we? Put some Madejski spin on it and "we just missed out on signing £1.8 million player Smith"
Both clubs have announced we're in final discussions and, I think, it's been confirmed that Donny turned down significant bids around £1.5-2m bids for him already. I think that's pretty much confirmation that we've bid the required £2m for him.
