Re: Ex Players

AthleticoSpizz Guntz released by Charlton

Still bench warming for Wales

Therefore, could still be involved in the WC


honestly getting silly at this stage - is he in there as a team mascot or what?

I mean, Bale obviously is also without a club, but there the similarities rest.

Re: Reasons to be hopeful?

I am not disagreeing with all of this but whilst I’d support Reading in any league I would rather it be in the Championship, as the loss in revenue could be quite catastrophic given our current predicament. Plus, some of it sounds more pessimistic than hopeful. Ticket prices are no cheaper in the l...

Re: George Puscas leaving?

There are plenty of opportunities but offering your 2nd highest paid player a 60% pay rise isn't one of them. I'd be amazed if the club are offering Swift more than £15k a week. With Moore's situation up in the air, removing Puscas' wages off the books is pretty much a necessity. Even with shifting...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

OK, agreed. I'd go further and say hair colours. Exceptions if you are clearly distinct in some other way. Jake Cooper, Seol Ki Hyeon, Liam Kelly, every goalkeeper ever. Kitson and Sidwell are fine because of the height difference. If there is someone else on the team who has the same skin tone, ha...

Re: Next Reading Manager

How long before we hear about the Tom Ince singing. . . . . He sings as well? Anyway - I'm happy that we have a DOF as well as a manager - it's much needed. I'm also happy that the decisions were made early on, which should give a bit of clarity to contract negotiations. Bowen should be fine for DO...

Re: Rival Watch

It is but with the money they are able to spend, or delay spending in the case of the Wilson transfer, an argument could be made that they have underachieved - they should have pushed 100 points - some of their defeats have come against some of the dross of the division as well. Like us! Stop moani...

Re: Rival Watch

Fulham fans claiming 106 goals is a bigger achievement than 106 points :| Lost for words. They`ve got exactly the same GD we had with a difficult game at Sheffield united to come so they`ve conceded 7 more goals then we did, btf three 7-0 wins in a season is some achievement. It is but with the mon...

Re: Can we find 3 teams worse than us next season?

If you're playing in Denmark there is a reason you are playing in Denmark. No thanks. Are you this perma-whiny in real life, or is it only on here? I wouldn't have thought of Wilshere myself, but there's logic behind it certainly. If for nothing else, a decent free-kick-taker is going to be essenti...

I do wonder if sometimes PL players who come down expect that the Championship is going to be easy, and they can phone in a performance - and some of them get the hump when that turns out not to be the case.

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

You can play overage players in the PL 2 I guess also - you're allowed play a trialist for U23 games - and it may give you a better idea of whether the player fits than just looking at them in training. You don’t sign players for the U23’s. You have professional contracts and scholar contracts (Aca...
