Real shame Rob wasn’t looking to buy when SJM was trying to sell. Reading now seemingly able to attract the investment they so desperately needed when the “potless” Russian was here yet it took a complete **** to drive the club into the ground to “get lucky” with it. Perhaps SJM missed a trick there...

BRO_BOT Gyokeres to Arsenal

Just 2 years late.

One thing that I am wondering is - why are Hull willing to let him come out on loan? Given that their management is changing yet again, and they are reportedly restricted on bringing in new players, you'd think that they'd want to assess what they have until later in the transfer window.... Because...

traff Jamie Gittens move to Chelsea confirmed.
Depending who you believe anything from £50 to £5m added to the coffers.

Something really should be done about Chelsea and their crazy spend spend spend spend attitude EVERY window.

Royalwaster In what position was Osho playing?

Either right back (he’s listed as a defender on the OS) or right wing (where many on here think he should play). He’s like Garcia in reverse (the OS lists Garcia as a midfielder but he’s been dumped into the team as a left back).

Great spot on Twitter for the trialist, seems like it's Yeboah Amankwah. CB, came through City's academy, has been playing for Lommel in Belgium. Anyone who went to the game, is this the triallist? https://cdn.modernghana.com/content/300/360/98202025222-osjvm0x442-amankwah-1.png Yeboah was loaned t...

Confirms WiFi is gone or still pondering.

Winston Biscuit Aston Villa also sell their women's team to themselves for around £55M to avoid breakibg PSR

More unethical cheating when are the authorities going to close these stupid loopholes?

Winston Biscuit Chelsea fined €31M and Villa fined €11M for breaking UEFA's football earnings and squad cost rules

Like Chelsea will miss that

Should give them a punishment that really causes pain like banning them from the CL.

I'm getting the impression that life in L1 is very much a case of basically doing a yearly squad rebuild. You can't really build long term, anyone young enough and developing well will take their shot at a step up to the champ. I'm really grateful we have a pipeline of promising youngsters coming t...

Pepe the Horseman What's going on at Cardiff?

Gareth bale is buying them

Getting desperate, he was supposedly buying Plymouth a few months ago.

Welcome back to the club for the Barker line.

So Matty J is on a season long loan deal, can we still not sign players for a fee ? Yes Reading are able to sign players for a fee but if you can cover what you need adequately with what’s available via freebies and loan expenses then you’d probably do that. Any money Reading do have for fees I’d e...

I cannot believe Orient met his wage demands (if true). It may be the strong Spurs connections the club has baring in mind that's were Criag came from. The rumoured £12k maybe what he wanted to stay at Reading and not what Orient are actually paying him. Presume Galbraith was on a fairly serious we...

Confirmed Craig gone to the Orient £££££££ I wasn't aware Orient had £££££. Stockport and Wycombe yes, but do we need to add another historically smaller club to the list? It does confuse a bit; you'd think these mid sized towns/suburbs in London and Manchester with giant clubs on their doorstep wi...
