Understand Rinos contract demands were completely unrealistic. Asked for parity with Puscas which we simply couldn’t do.

Bearing in mind how much the club did when he was out with the ankle injury, I think we deserved more

Club are hopeful that if Yiadom signs this will tip Laurent to sign too.

Pisa still interested in Puscas but know we are short on cash so negotiating still.

Been told this is 95% done. Year long loan deal and he’s coming in as number 1

Understand we are in talks for Baba to come back on another season long loan.

I understand the retained list needs to be with the EFL by Saturday so we should get some indication on who is being released and who has been offered new deals this week

Does anyone know why Ejaria has disappeared. ?? Injured according to Pauno. Mind you he been out by injury, then covid, then covid and injury, now injury again. I do wonder if there is something else going on. Is he another one following in Moore's footsteps? Understand Ovie has a hamstring injury....

Anyone know the rules of QPR being able to request a postponement if players away on International duty.

If Morocco and Senegal win their games today, that’s two they are missing and Gray has been called up to the Jamaica squad for this weekend too. Three is the amount isn’t it?

Hoilett has been called up to the Canada squad for fixtures this weekend so is unavailable for the QPR game, I believe

I would assume that the international players are vaccinated as they would have to self isolate until test to release. That would mean they’d miss games and I’ve not seen a player miss a game who has travelled internationally for a fixture. My understanding is that when Yiadom missed a game it was b...

not sure - think the cutting of the isolation time might end up meaning we have enough players available - reckon we might end up having to play another mismatch of a team, which would be the worst of all worlds really Think Johnson and co will hold off making it behind closed doors. just said no n...

The pens I will give d the ref the swift one as swift went down far too easily and gave the ref a reason not to give it. Take the contact. What I will call out today is Liam Moore and Michael Morrison. I was sat a few seats away from them in the upper west and neither of them acknowledged the minute...

I assume the deal is basically what the EFL would let us do until Joao or Clarke are back fit. I believe part of the reasoning for the deal falling through in September was because we had enough players fit to play the position. Now that’s not the case. If he’s kept himself in shape and he’s in full...

Fair play as doubt he will play again, could be a very decent coach. Not your usual optimism Stranded. :wink: Morrison implied when working on the Bournemouth game for TV that the brace would be coming off soon and he hoped to be fit not too long after that (which at Reading might be anything from ...

The club have been worried about a points deduction from the end of last season. I think potentially because we delayed sending in our 20/21 accounts that this has come around now rather than at the start of the season. This is hangover from huge deals the club have given out under Gourlay and the s...

Reading exclusives on Twitter saying Rafa isn’t in today’s squad

gazzer, loyal royal So I’ve heard he’s not broken his hand and could potentially be available for Saturday

Confirmed by Pauno

So I’ve heard he’s not broken his hand and could potentially be available for Saturday

Heard on the grape vine tonight that Joao is out for 6 months

Looks like Sassuolo will lose Locatelli this summer so I assume once that deal is done there will be a new offer for Puscas. The club need to offload top earners at the club and this is a good deal for the club if we can Puscas off the wage bill.

gazzer, loyal royal Heard that McIntyre has agreed a new deal with the club. The only thing holding it up is the agents fee

You’re welcome. Great news for the club
