Re: The generic transfer thread

Spurs in for andy Robertson solid signing Something tells me that Liverpool have written this season off and have now settled for a battle for 4/5th place. Already struggling with insufficient defensive cover they now sell Robertson leaving their “headless chicken” as the only left back cover. Wond...

Re: Ryan Nyambe - Confimred

Ahmed looks a great prospect but he’s only 17 still isn’t he? Don’t think we need to rush him out on a loan at that age tbh. Would be happy enough with him playing cup games, u21, and first team cover for next year tbh He's a big lad for his age which I think led us to believe that he was ready for...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2024/25

Unfortunately that training ground has been built on a now defunct decent golf course but it does look the real deal and certainly cost big money to create. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqPQw4mz9Ko This is a very good watch on it (if you have a spare 75 mins). Thanks for that RG. I have only see...

Re: US Political situation - Any impact on Reading FC?

BTW I have decided to do my own personal one-off protest by staying away tomorrow. It has nothing to do with my missus moaning about the chip on my windscreen and her fear that I will get killed when the screen caves in on the M3. :wink: Anyway I will watch by streaming and the club already has my s...

Re: US Political situation - Any impact on Reading FC?

KEEP POLITICS OUT OF FOOTBALL Keep the Yanks out of Greenland or at least stop them from stealing it (and the natural resources that are barely mentioned under the smokescreen of "security"). I think it's a bit more than just politics and about how we feel about Yanks and the twat that th...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2024/25

If the RAC man had turned up a bit earlier I could have gone to this game and done a report as the training ground is just over 2 miles away (and quite something, bearing in mind the ground that their Prem League side play at). Unfortunately that training ground has been built on a now defunct decen...

Re: a RB and a LB signings imminent

I think Brogue's source is the same as my son's as , over the past couple of years, their info has so often been identical. So he has done well and way before the current lot came in. Keep it going Brogue-the reason why I joined this site some 20 years or so ago was to see valid rumours but general...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (h)

Suspect we’ll see a bit of a shake up with the new signings coming straight into the side Hopefully he’ll make changes further up top as well. Maybe something like JP Nyambe Paudie Burns Roberts Wing savage DK Keane Lane Marriott Stevens Kelvin Dorsett Yiadom Doyle Ritchie Fraser I'm not sure that ...

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Vauxhall Conference League 25/26

Even as Bodo Glimt's biggest fan I didn’t see this coming. Since you mentioned them, maybe last season but definitely this ,I have followed their progress with interest. They really are a good side aren't they and , despite their successes , continue to be over-rated. Elsewhere good to see Liverpoo...

Re: Haydon Robert’s - Confimred

With Nyambe also signing is there now a bit of a Derby old boys club developing alongside the Wigan one? I presume this is for our problem left-back position with time being called on Dorsett, especially with Randell Williams and (if he stays) Garcia and even old man Ritchie able to play there if ne...

Re: Ryan Nyambe - Confimred

Don’t see the point of this. We have Yiadom, Abrefa, Rinomhota and Ahmed. Absolute waste of money in my opinion. I kind of agree with you but have never held Abrefa in as high esteem as you have and I presume that Richardson feels the same. Ahmed is still very young and would definitely benefit fro...

Re: Ryan Nyambe - Confimred

Supposedly quick; works hard; defensively good. On the face of it, a positive loan for us. I do think this will allow at least one of Abrefa or Ahmed to go on loan, which will hopefully have a positive impact on their development. I wouldn't be surprised if they both went out on loan. The right bac...

Re: US Political situation - Any impact on Reading FC?

Re: The generic transfer thread

At the moment City have centre-backs in Dias, Gvardiol, Khusanov, Ake, Alleyn and Stones with Akanji out on loan although Pep often plays Gvardiol at left-back. So I guess he would only want Guehi if he lets Stones and/or Ake leave. Stones is permanently crocked, he'll be allowed to leave soon and ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (a)

There was something I meant to add to the previous post but didn’t, and it concerns Pereira. I gather from this board that he’s a bit of a fans’ favourite and no doubt there are good reasons for that, every keeper plays a blinder occasionally. There was some evidence yesterday, albeit scant that he...

Re: Weekend Football

Newcastle-2 shots on target away at Wolves and they came in the same move in the last 10 minutes of the game.
Once again I query Eddie Howe's credentials for the England manager's job when so many seem to think he is the right fit.
