2013 Summer Transfer Window Deadline Day

by alfiesaywhat » 01 Sep 2013 20:19

As a slightly anxious RFC fan as I still think signings need to be made, who do you all think we need to sign?

Please post views and if anyone has heard anything through the grapevine post it here :|

27 hours to go...

Well I guess we are not getting Bale after all.. Cheeky bid for Benzema on the table?

Looking forward to the damp squib that this day usually is for RFC. It is entertaining watching the over-excited pcunts on Sky Sports News with their massive iPads though. Bring on the car window.

Anyone remember our blockbuster deal for Brian Howard on deadLOLine day a few years back with Harper going the other way? I think that's about as dramatic as it has got for Reading in recent years.

He plays for CSKA Sofia now, of all places!

Get a decent striker and anything else is a bonus in my opinion.

Twitters newest most pointless account:

Reading FC Transfers ‏@FootyNewsRFC 11m
WOW! You could see up to FOUR #readingfc signings before the deadline including one big name

Also claimed we had a record deal agreed in excess of £3.5m, then that changed to an offer made... now Vaughan has signed and they were delighted to announce it.

Roll on tomorrow night when the kids bog off.

Will be at work until 5:30 my time (10:30 over there) so I will miss most of the "fun" (aka primal angst). But usually most of the fun happens the last hour anyhoo... :D

Transfer Deadline Day

by jellytot » 02 Sep 2013 07:05

OK this is the place for good reliable rumours. So who out there can confirm sightings at the mad stadium or hotel?

Think we will bring in at least two today and a loan or two later.

One concern is who we might lose today...Hope we keep ALF and McCarthy.

So who are we talking to? Going to be interesting and thrilling. Hopefully not frustrating and disappointing.

Not us but QPR :shock:

Harry Redknapp wants to take Spurs duo Emmanuel Adebayor and Benoit Assou-Ekotto, both 29, on loan.

I know of at least one player having a medical today. I don't want to say who and jinx it but what I will tell you is that he is 28, has a champions league winners medal and bizzarely is another defensive midfielder!

Given how easily teams have been running through our midfield on the counter I would say that a decent DM is only marginally less important than a new striker tbh

Lol at the twitter rumour of Mapps to Palace for £1m. How did he lose £1.5m over a season being one of the few that looked okay in the Prem?

The Sun says we're making a late £1.8-million bid for Becchio from Norwich. Doesn't sound entirely implausible.

Kei Kamara is heading to Middlesborough. That would be a bloody good signing!
