Don't know anything about him so take my opinion with the pinch of salt it deserves but I'm always uneasy when break our transfer record. Especially considering he couldn't get a game at Villa last season.

I think we might need another left back - Obita isn't suited there and neither does Blackett really, but that might be because he gets isolated by Beerens when it comes to defending. Yeah obita showed his quality at left back when he had McAnuff in front of him a few years back. I think Obita's don...

I've boycotted the games local to me (not Reading's) because I didn't like it, if we got to Wembley I'd have to rethink but considering we're playing Yeovil again I'm not sure it's going to matter that much

From Despair To Where? I think Bozancic was in the Aussie squad in Brazil.

He got on the pitch and played pretty well if I remember right

Ridiculous that Luton/Pompey have wracked up £15,000+ worth of fines for playing youngsters in the Trophy and then they announce this.

Is this for sale online anywhere? Don't think so - it's at STAR Base, Megastore, Waterstones Reading. Megastore might do it online. STAR could probably do it by post! Megastore would probably also have it in the shop as they've stocked other books. Not unknown for these books to surface on Amazon e...

I think we should now drop the use of the words win, lose and draw and results with this new green, red and yellow system. Although we're coming off a tasty 5 game green streak, i'd take a yellow if you offered it me now for Saturday, but I fear we may replicate last year's red. Last year was quite...

An interesting interpretation. Do the laws of obstruction not come in to play in that scenario? (genuine question) No, for two reasons. 1. There is no such offence, the nearest in the current laws is 'impeding an opponent' 2. You have to be between the player and the ball to impede them and that wa...

Ah, Matt Partridge http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/03/01/article-2570960-1BE2600500000578-555_306x566.jpg This utterly horrible c**t was released by Newport last season and i believe has no club now. What a shame. Any chance someone can tweet that picture at him? :lol: Seems to be playing for B...

George_ if the Chinese pass the fit and proper test then i have don't have a problem with extra cash being pumped into the club.

There's a lot of club owners that have passed that test that aren't

royalp-we No real surprise - understandably the Thais have always been looking for additional investment (remember those Monaco talks?).

There's a difference between additional investment & selling a controlling stake though, surely

According to CW, it wasn't Dai or his sister that failed the FPPT but others in the consortium. It's currently unclear whether others - or if it would be the same "others" - would be involved in RFC. If that's the case, why don't the two of them just go back and purchase Hull? I suppose w...

I'd rather Tiger hadn't put on a show tbh, it feels like betrayal.

the takeover is reported to have fallen through following the Premier League’s fit and proper persons’ checks on members of their consortium

Sounds great

Sutekh Serero would be off on African Cup of Nations duties for Jan and Feb anyway wouldn't he?

Considering South Africa didn't qualify it would be unlikely

Kitsondinho Jem isn't doing much in Turkey.......he is spending a lot of time here.......maybe we sell Williams in Jan and sign Jem on a short term loan......

At this point Jem hasn't played regular football in three-four years, who knows what he'd be like

I assume this has come from that get reading article someone didn't read properly

Yeah in all honesty he's not very good. Quite good with the ball at his feet against Brighton in the League Cup, not very good at going to get the ball by himself. Really? I felt he was quite poor that game, though credit to him he ran his socks off. Haven't seen anyone puff that badly since the da...
