RUMOUR - Bikey

[pea]

He must be the only player to have gone on trial at a Premier League club, got sent off for headbutting the opposition in his trial game and still got a contract out of it

[Hoop Blah]

He has all the physical and technical tools to be far too good for us. That he didn't command a place in either our side or Burnley's, and it's Pompey looking at him and not top half Premier League sides, just goes to show that it takes more than that to make it.

I'd still take him back if we could afford him without breaking our wage structure. He'd compliment Pearce more than Mills and if McDermott can calm him down then he'd still be very good at this level.

Agree with all that.

Just seen that - do we really need Bikey? What if Jimmy goes we need a winger.

[Royals-lad14]

dnt see why we need another CB unless Morrison goes out on loan?

[One Beer is never enough.]

The link just refers back to 13/7/11 getreading article that briefly mentioned looking at Bikey on loan.

Nothing to see here, move along please...

Bikey can play anywhere, I'd be happy with him on the wing if Jimmy goes.

[M-U-R-T-Y]

If Jimmy goes, we won't sign anyone. Obita will come in, or HRK will move to the left wing with McAnuff taking the right hand side

Fordham mentions there 'was interest in the summer' and links to his article as an example of that.

Bikey would be class in the holding midfield role

Bikey would be class in the holding midfield role

Would he? He has played there and defence for Burnley and it's not worked out for him. He's a mental. I'm not sure he's really what we need, or have we gone so far backwards that he actually a good signing?

We need an attacking midfielder TWIW.

[leww_rfc]

Bikey and Gorkss would scare the sh*t out of most strikers!

[Mr Irascible]

A friend of mine stopped wearing her Reading shirt when I pronounced it Bike - e and asked if that was her name at Uni!

31 games in the premiership in centre mid for Burnley

Bikey doesn't live here anymore.

It was announced that he would be known by his family name of Amougou from the 2011/12 season onwards.

What part of not worked out for him did you get stuck on? They were beaten and kicked about every week and went down, and then last season he was a disaster.

All in all he's been relegated with 2 clubs, lost his head with us on a couple of occasions and then let go, and now Burnley have given up on him and they're not exactly bulging with talent.

Twitter doesn't always bring a smile to my face but the tweet I read today by a Burnley supporter saying he would like Church in exchange if Reading get Bikey-Amougou certainly did that.
