Who Moved The Goalposts?
Sutekh Quite like the sound of Kyreece Lisbie (Colchester) as an AM/winger in the summer. Get his brother from Peterborough as well and should be a rather potent attacking force next season.


A solid shout. And you never know...

That account is madly reliable. Don't know if it's another of Brogue's. But did say not over the line.

Don't think it's Brogue, but he's also confirmed it fwiw.

Apparently a Belgian side, Zulte Waregem, are interested and have been enquiring.

You should absolutely follow him. He joined twitter the day after I outed Huang Kad…

That's a coincidence! I did see you bigging him up the other day, but assumed you were just being nice.

If this one comes off, you have to say it's been an excellent window. Dare I say spectacular...

I think the word spectacular can now be used, yes.

Into the final 12 hours

Lisbie seems to be the only incoming rumour

Savage outgoing has gone quiet

Let's see what happens during the day

We can still make loans out to no. League after today can’t we?

Wonder if we’ll be stuck with MoM for the season - does seem that way. Weird he isn’t even playing u21 games

After today Reading can still make loans/sell into non league and acquire free agents.

Seems a be a bit of noise about Lisbie but he’s cost good money and not sure we’d pay it

Don’t know a lot about him but good stats this year and quick apparently. Not had a huge amount of experience

Not wrong there he’d be the best part of £1m and hefty sell on at best and with Colchester being desperate to keep him, going to be quite a fight so might need “player action” to help. Shame we couldn’t offer MOM & Doyle as p/ex :? :D

Get him and RC has certainly delivered the spectacular window he was saying last summer would be.

He is exactly the kind of signing that we should be making even if the fee is large - that will likely be split over a few years but we are likely to be able to sell him on for more than we paid or he is a key part in a promotion.

As long as we can afford it and he is genuinely deemed good enough then don’t disagree

And I keep banging on about pace and physicality up front so I’d like to see it

With DK looking as though he will be out for an extended period, that could have accelerated the decision to try and sign Lisbie in this window.
Garcia sale would have helped too.

I mean, why would we block an Academy player getting U21 games for a someone else's player who is a failed senior signing?

He should be begging his club to recall him and send him back out somewhere else imo.
