The Summer ins, outs and new contracts 2012

[Terminal Boardom]

Perhaps a club like Reading would be perfect for Bridge. Low profile club which would allow Bridge to settle in and just play football. Lower expectation levels would also help.

Bagsie the seat next to Frankie Sandford.

If I saw her at a game I would just have to get it out and start furiously masterb8ing tbh

She's thicker than pig shit.

[Ups and Downs]

Ah shiiiit!!

If her GCSE scores were below average then I am erasing her from the oxf*rd bank.

Another thing in her favour

You follow The Saturdays quite closely then

Sorry bud, I'm younger than her man friend.

No, they're a poor man's Girl's Aloud. But she's a close second to Dappy as the stupidiest person to ever appear on Buzzcocks.

[robb the royal]

Anyone read the bit on the OS today about number of players we have used this year?
http://www.readingfc.co.uk/page/NewsDet ... 81,00.html
2011/12 - 26 players started games, 27 used in total.
So we could have got away with a 27 man squad this season...29 if you count sub keepers
Bear in mind we have let 3 of those go (all of whom played at least once this season)...that puts us to 26
One keeper out on loan puts us to 25
Afrobe back to the arse...24
And from what I understand, we can have an unlimited amount of under 21's, (although no one who will be under 21 when the season starts has played this year)
So even assuming we sign conolly and mullins and keep Manset (and no one goes out on loan apart from 1 keeper...unlikely), we could still sign one player this summer.

As for home grown players... we have to have at least 8 players who "irrespective of nationality or age, have been affiliated to the FA or Welsh FA for a period of three seasons or 36 months prior to 21st birthday" (which means Federici counts...he was had a trial at Bolton, then went to Wolves when he was 17 for a season, leeds for a few months when he was 19 and then joined us around his 20th birthday) and by my reckoning, we have 14:
Federici, Pearce, McAnuff, Leigerwood, Karacan, Cummings, Church, Robson-Kanu, Le Frondre, Roberts, Mills, Tabb, Mullins, Connoly, Antonio

So we are fine for all the silly premiership rules...and have space to buy more if some people go out on loan

Someone's obviously forgetting Donny Tourette. Which on reflection is quite easy to do.

What's that got to do with wanting her to sit on your face

[No Hoops]

Looking good on McCleary joining on a 3 year contract

[madstadblues]

With all of the references to keeping the squad together and looking at what Swansea and Norwich as a model - doe anyone know how many players they signed. I did see an article that Narch planned to sign 7 new players at the beginning of last season (as they did when they were promoted to the championship.

[LWJ]

McCleary confirmed.
