January Transfer Window

[jellytot]

Yep I imagine we will be sat on this thread on deadline day watching players join other clubs... probably better to have a good book with you.

Perhaps we can get a loan? OK probably not!

I live in Saudi at the moment. The window will close at 2am my time... probably should go to bed early, shouldn't I? I imagine I will stay up late though like some mad lunatic.

This thread is pointless . We are not going to buy anyone until these rich people from Oman comes in. (But you don't no if their rich cause look at Anton zigigsseesghsdf we said he'll be rich

This thread is pointless. We are not going to buy anyone until these rich people from Oman come in. You don't know if they're rich. Look at Anton Zingarevich, we said he'd be rich.

Was trying to find some kind of meaning in those highlighted red letters - is it some kind of satanic code?

or alfie continue starting, affair?!

[Binfield Royal]

Sky Sports News Transfer Centre have us linked to

Kevin Doyle
Graham Dorrans
Jack Hobbs

and are also carrying the story the Alfie isn't leaving.

Clearly either they dont know we have no money, or, they might know something we dont know.....

FWIW

[Ian Royal]

Bruce is repeating we've bid for Hobbs and he's free to talk to us, so obviously we've got some money, and Madejski wasn't lying afterall. (RB )

Hopefully Hobbs will be concluded one way or the other soonest, so if we don't get him we can try to put that money elsewhere.

You live in Saudi, therefore you are clearly a mad lunatic.

Why do we have an open January transfer window thread? Shouldn't this have been locked ages ago?

3 Days to go and not a whisper of a player going or coming,This really is a big year in the transfer market for us few royal supporters, But with a bit of luck I can watch QPr and West h, slowly bankrupt themselves ,Or I can watch QPR promoted and West h secure premier status. While royals slowly sink into oblivion,, no change then over the last 90 years.

[HoneyRoastHoax]

I'm amazed at how doom and gloom some people are especially when we're in for playoffs and off the back of a 7-1 win.

I think you'd have a #cutforreadingfc if we were at the bottom of the table.

Not a whisper? Apart from the bid we had accepted for Hobbs?

A bit at this one, JIM.

In reply to HoneyRoast:-
No, we are on the back of a 2-0 loss and hanging on to 6th spot with a number of clubs within a few points of us.
The time to buy is when you are in a position of strength and we cannot just say surely that we will wait till next year or the following year and pick our time to get promoted.
There are many clubs bigger than us that were once at the top level but through lack of investment have spent a lot of time at the lower levels such as Sheffield Wednesday, Leicester, Leeds,Forset, Ipswich,etc. so I feel that if there is a chance we should try our utmost to take it and that means improving the squad.
What is the point otherwise?

That RFC have never confirmed? Isn't it all Steve Bruce?

Just out of curiosity JIM (is that your name or an acronym by the way?), I am rather intrigued by your reference to the Royals slowly sinking into oblivion, as they have for the last 90 years. Have you been watching Reading FC for the last 90 years JIM? Have you even been watching them for the last 9 years? A decline into oblivion for the last 90 years would mean that we are in a worse position today than we were two weeks ago (funny, seems the same to me but as this is a slow 90 year slide it may not be noticeable over that period). So what about ten years ago?? Er......... not really. Fifteen years ago? Grimsby and Luton (ah, they've gone onto such heights while we have been sliding into oblivion). 30 years ago? Ah yes, flirting with the PL was never as good as bouncing round between the third and fourth tiers of English football. I have to express concern for your aptitude of perception and comprehension if you truly believe what you're spouting.

Not the point. JIM is saying no sniffs of players coming in - that seems to be a rather big one. More so than mindless paper spaculation

Some of those clubs did not sink due to under-investment but due to lack of success and bad investments ....
