Fabricio Coloccini???

I have to say, anyone that could potentially keep Leigertwood out of the side is a good thing, surely?

"Brian McDermott's Royals emerged as 3-1 victors but he was so impressed by Akpan's performance that he has moved quickly to beat a number of Championship clubs to his signature, according to Sky Sports."

There were several seasons where we were both similar sized clubs finishing in similar positions. Looks like the gap will be closed a little next season tbf.

NR_Royal Either Sheffield club away please.

FML.

Either Sheffield club away please.

Good to see Pearce and Morrison together.

I forget, does BBC Berks allow you to listen to FA Cup games out of the county?

I have to admit, Leigertwood wasn't too bad today. Actually made a lot of tackles and distributed OK (Albeit backwards or sideways). He does need replacing fast though.

Best players today for us were Federici, Pearce and Karacan

Worst players today were Harte, Kebe and McAnuff.

All IMO of course.

oxf*rd Leigertwood

The commentator just said "Here's Leigertwood, possibly the MOTM against West Ham, protecting the back four"

SSN remind us how ignorant and clueless they can be by highlighting the fact Carriço only cost 600k and that it's a bit colder over here.. Nothing about how he was getting rave reviews 12 months ago and was linked with some of the big boys. Instead it's a signing Reading fans should be worried abou...

How do you pronounce Carrico? I'd guess at Ca-ree-sho?

Bryn, Church and McCarthy out surely?

I still don't understand why he's coming to us.

Why aren't any bigger clubs interested, especially at that price when he was so sought after in the past? Why is he even leaving Sporting CP? This could be a brilliant signing.

Good attacking move...pass to Leigertwood....lose possession.

Just oxf*rd LOL at James CoLOLins.

Anton says money is available and that we'll be bringing in experience.

The Royal Jobi needs a huge kick up the ass. Drop him and give the armband to Pearce. Wake up call jobi needs. There is a part of me realising why he's never played in the prem up untill now

Thing is, the armband went from Jobi to Leigertwood. Would rather have Jobi on that Mikele...
