Shorey, Harte and Wayne Bridge. What a fine selection of aging left backs.

Beating a 'big club' (and Harry to boot) like QPR to his signature pleases me much more than it should.

Gr8 signing. Now get Hooper.

I think we need a young left-back and a striker and a covering CB in and that should do us.

I think we desperately need a creative/goalscoring midfielder. Maybe Guthrie will fill the role but i'm not convinced.

Great move for RFC, don't understand some fans problem. Obviously it's a short term fix, but it's a Marquee signing at this level. I think it's going to be a fun summer! :mrgreen:

If we go up, yes.

For next season I think our midfielders are good enough, not sure what Adkins has in mind for the Championship tactics-wise but our wingers should easily trouble defences, so I can see most of our midfield attacking threat coming from them. Looking forward to Guthrie next season.

No Fixed Abode Good player, although will struggle against a spacey winger if left exposed.


Spacey winger? I'm sure he could cope with Neil Armstrong or John Glenn

I think most people could cope with them, on account of one being dead and the other being 91.

Obviously suits both parties but suggests Reading are going for it next season and not committing themselves unduly if they fail. Also perhaps he has been persuaded by talk of impressive plans and other big moves in the market....

I'd also be looking to add a striker or possibly 2 (Hooper & Sharp) a young and upcoming left back, additional cover at CB plus an attacking playmaker for midfield. Also it would be handy if we could get someone who's a bit special with a dead ball....

Lol! Calm down fella. I don't watch any U.S Team sports. Proof if needed that having a few thousand posts after your name doesn't change the fact you're a Dick.

amazing signing! now all we need is a solid striker or two (hopefully hooper or austin), a good backup cb, and a solid attacking midfielder and we should do just fine in the championship!

We have back-up CBs in Hector, Gorkss & Carrico with the youth as extra back-up. I'm happy with defense and midfield if nothing changes.
