It stings.... i get it.

We will ignore the fact i have been close to this story over 2 weeks ago. On, off, back on, its happening.

Anyway, enjoy the homecoming.

PTR, I know you called for me to be patient and I really should be as I'm only a few years younger ShLong, but what are you waiting for? When can you finally say the golden words, 'he's come home!'?

Just keep refreshing your twitter, after the match today.

Football League World have called it on Twitter:

NEWS: Reading have agreed a deal for Shane Long to return to the club following his release from Southampton this summer.

Apparently on 50k a week at Newcastle is Jeff

Done very well to pick him up. Obvs was rubbish at QPR but can’t doubt the pedigree

[Pepe the Horseman]

Played with Tom Ince at Derby, for those keeping score.

Yep, raised this early doors. Both young players there for about 4 seasons

It’s gone quiet over on Twitter, anyone ITK know about the homecoming time?

I watched ShLong in his first spell, saw THAT goal against the Scousers on TV, THAT goal against Cardiff on TV, was there on THAT day at Wembley. Yes, I should stop reminiscing, but I want it to be a happy ending for all

So - first XI starting to look decent.

Could argue that Hendrik and Fornah allow us to go 4-4-2 as well.

But assuming 4-2-3-1 and all fit - then side for Blackpool looks like:

Lumley

Yiadom
Dann
Holmes
McIntyre

Hendrick
Fornah

Ince
Ejaria
Meite

Joao

That's starting to look like a side that shouldn't go down.

Like last season’s side ?

Exactly. All a bit meh, really.

Looks like PTR has shit the bed on this one.

All a bit exactly what we should have expected in the circumstances

Courtney Friday is the source for the Shane Long return rumours reported 7 hours ago..

On that basis alone I'm inclined to disbelieve it!

He was first with the news.

Yes, but is it news - or utter bo*fords??

[Pepe the Horseman]

According to Shane Long's Instagram, he's currently in Luxembourg with Steve Coppell.

Don’t we have a representative in Luxembourg ?
Surely he can just ask them what’s going on ?

Pepe is being very naughty again. He is already on a yellow card

[NathStPaul]

PTR has gone quiet. Must be sorting out a snag in the Shane Long deal that he has clearly brokered.

Sometimes i think you are joking and then other times you look and sound like a babbling fool.

Members on this forum should be pleased that although i know it actually hurts you, it bothers you, it grates with you that there are actually people in the know. Along with that Gaz fella there are not actually that many people on here who have connections.

i dont need to justify how i know, who i am associated with etc etc - but just enjoy the moment, be thankful for the info and basically stop squealing like a big girls blouse.

Enjoy Shane Long, coupled with some additions!!
