Adkins has a great track record of picking out strikers from the lower leagues who have stepped up. Lambert and Hooper are just 2 examples. I am quite confident that he has his targets and we will add a striker before the transfer window (With an almighty crash SLAMS) shuts. May not be the big name...

To expel the conspiracy theory of the shirt numbers Alex is in 21 in the photos now from todays Facebook Portugal update. I guess that proves Nigel or Nicky read Hobnob and take it serious.

Arnie_Pie Feds is having loads of work done on his house at the moment, which would indicate he is not planning on going anywhere.

Whenever I have moved I've always given the place a freshen up to get top money. Micky Gooding has probably advised him of that.

3 top draw keepers is 1 to many, we all know one is going and its not Taylor and it won't be Alex.

Reading through these comments it doesnt seem that many people have grasped how big this deal is for the global brand 'Reading Football Club'. First of all each race is viewed by over 500 million people, with every country getting the same pictures so just today that 2 or 3 seconds picture one way o...

One person not mentioned and has settled in to the new style, even progressed after going stagnant under BMcD is Karacan. The only question mark is would he thrive under the responsibility on suffer, having just got back on track after a torrid 12 months of injury and loss of form through either lac...

genome Wonder if we can get this to 1500 replies

If we get to 22000 then we will have to lock the thread as there won't be anymore season tickets available.

Yes, @charles_watts
May not be a Reading fan but a serious sports fan. Did some serious reporting of some varied sports for the Maidenhead Advertiser, good articles on some odd sports. Certainly time served and deserves the step up.

The deal is done, just waiting for him to shed 5 stone so he looks like a footballer before telling the press.
He even makes Caskey look anorexic. He will be a big player.

Apparently, the negotiations have stalled (briefly) over two issues. He wanted it written in the contract that he could have carnal knowledge of any attractive RFC Femail fans. Both the ladies in question said yes but RFC do not think it is a contract issue. Secondly, his request to reside in a loc...

Williams was a victim of the clubs success, came in and we were in trouble in the league. Fitness was lacking as not a pro, got injured and then our fortunes changed to the point we were at the other end of the table. That aside he never set the world alight on any of his loans, but may of been bett...

May be a bit of a squash but they can all just fit in my car. I have booked the day off on 20th May to run them up.

Nigel seems to like him, a few more performances like of late and he may get his wish to stay.

After today I think I want to emulate your finest ever manager, Sir Steve and walk out after 16 days as this squad is dire. On the plus side you will get some money in for me as I am off to Sunderland.

Thought the journos were very disrespectful to AZ & the club in general. Would fcuking LOVE it if we did the unthinkable & stayed up. My thoughts as well over the whole issue. Brian is a good manager who is good and open with the media. Hence since his sacking the media love in. Anton dealt...

No. Too late. We have to win 5 of the remaining matches to have a chance of staying up. If you discount Man.Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man.City then we need to beat QPR & Southampton at home and Fulham, Westham and Norwich away. Not going to happen is it? Brian might well have just stayed. Who...

He has made 30 apperances for Spurs so far this season so not exactly surplus to requirements. Also they have only named 23 players in there Premier League squad so it would have been nearly impossible to get him (one of the 23 is David Bentley! )

scumbag

shaka's shorts on other targets:
We tried to get one other that I won't name but it went off yesterday. He had a lot of Premier League experience but his club said no.

Gylfi?

Will somebody change the record, will not happen for at least another 10 years.

We have offered a substantial fee for Ince with Church and Gorkss going the other way. Church is not keen though which has caused the stalling as he wants to stay down south.

Midnight update with quotes from Andersen, Tabb & Church, all players who have been told or asked to move on and also Sunza, maybe that has now been sorted? Funny time for an update, especially as that was anounced much earlier today.
