Call me picky, but I like new strikers to have scored more than 10 professional level goals in at least 1 of the last three seasons.

That rules us out of a move for Divock Origi then.

Definitely the biggest blocker to signing him.

Just take a moment to enjoy this one last day of Marc McNulty being a Reading player

But you would take him though wouldn't you, hypothetically speaking of course.

Like Tom Ince? :wink:


Ok was not really counting him as I meant someone who was not already playing for us last season.

Heard we are really close to signing Turkey under 21 Yamas Dildo.


I am sure we can slot him in

Azeez still thinking over the offer but ‘close’ according to Bowen. Not heard back from Hoilett so that may be a non starter

No, because we couldn’t afford him.

It's a stupid example.

Sounds like a bit more in the Bowen interview

No Kia making decisions apparently, solely Bowen and co. Will give it a listen

Yep, essentially Kia got some players here who we had no right to get but it is down to Bowen/Carey now. Kia may still be used if it will help a deal that they want.

Players we had no right to get ... Esteves, Boye, Popa (?), Virginia ...

Small fee to Porchester for AR was about it m, wasn't it. MM was never going to be a player you get a fee for.

Can’t believe our fans are falling for it (again).

Kia Joorabchian got Bowen to the club in 2019. He was probably behind bringing him back here in 2022.

He’s a close personal friend to Dai Yongge and helped broker the deal for him to takeover.

If Kia wanted Bowen or any other staff member gone tomorrow, it would happen.

Make sure you put the plastic sheets on the bed tonight. You are 100% going to wet yourself.
