Re: Is the idea of a striker flawed? Does Stam believe in total football?

We came third last year with our top goalscorer being a striker. The idea of not having a specialist forward is sadly proving to be very flawed. Yes we have exciting pacy midfielders, but none of them has a history of banging in the goals. Look at the most successful teams and their highest goalscor...

Re: New Club Motto...'Lack of resolve, Apathy, Inability'

What a great way to get behind the team on the first day of the season. By slating them before they've touched the ball.

Re: Dellor moaning about Vydra again!!!

While I'm on the subject of inflation in football, has inflation completely passed Reading by? It seems that we are now real small fry. When we paid out £1million back in the day for Leroy Lita, that was about the going rate at the time for that type of striker. The club were showing really good am...

Re: Wholesale changes in defence??

Changing the goalkeeper now is a stupid idea. Habsi can't be blamed for any of the Fulham goals and he's starting to show a bit of decent form and confidence.
I'd like to see Tish come in to help the midfield and Piazon dropped until he can learn to play a team game.

Re: Do you rate Lucas Piazon?

Not the worst loan signing ever, but shaping up to be the most overrated judging by some of your comments. He needs to get rid of all his Chelsea habits now. If someone has the audacity to take the ball off of him he needs to at least attempt to get it back. Not stand around pouting as if someone ha...

Re: RUMOUR: Le Fondre Returning

Sutekh Reminds me, I saw a headline yesterday that apparently Manchester City are leading the chase for Pog.


Yep, around £50 million. I think we should hold out for £60 million, maybe then we can afford to sign the Swindon keeper.

About 15 minutes stroll along the river.


It's really not. The 8 bells is pretty much outside Putney Bridge Tube Station. Hence an away fans pub..


Yep! Sorry, I thought he meant the ground.

Which is definately a 15 minute stroll along the river.... honest.

Re: CONFIMRED - Glenn Murray on loan

I think Murray and Pog are similar in that I can't see either of them creating something from nothing but if you create chances for them, they will score goals. Murray, however, is proven in the Championship and better in the air. So if it was a straight choice between the two of them Murray would e...

Re: Injury table and expected return....

Having Williams, Gareth and (soon) Jem back is great news and now all of a sudden we've got a team with a bit of depth and balance.
However, I hope this isn't used as an excuse not to strengthen in January.......
