He said the deal is a possibility but the postponement of this game would have put it back a bit.
He did also add that he didn't think Osbourne was good enough to play for us, then I added that he would be back-up to our current 2 and he said he was still unsure but would be happy to be proved wrong,
So yes there's a definate interest.
There is no "U" in Karleigh Osborne!

Thanks Sam, you've convinced me.

Well McDermott has spoken about him now so you'd think it's going to happen.

Good luck Karleigh you're going to a very good club and will be amoungst good players and a very good Manager....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any way ,the KO slaggers have got what they wished for . I wish him all the best and think he'll grace a larger stage than the Madjeski if looked after
A few of them think he makes a few too many mistakes for the Championship but most seem to rate him. Could be a good signing.

Sounds similar to Sonko when he came here. I still remember him up at PNE, kicking the ball into his own face. We laughed, awkwardly. But god love him, he came good.

Rather a strange one as it's a girl's name and it means "womanly".

BUT McDermott did say a deal for Osborne from Brentford was now unlikely this morning #readingfc
Looks like Brentford have tried to get their hands on too many of our roubles.

Of the three signings this one hurts the least. A big never mind and onto the next target from me.

Brentford fans seem to think the club wanted £300K but that this was overpriced as he is free in summer. Looks like RFC might have agreed the valuation was too steep.

After the last week the club has had, this wouldn't surprise me if we just pulled it out of the bag
