tidus_mi2 Make of this what you will but a guy I know at the gym said he's friends with Kadeem Harris and he said he's about to sign for us, he's even been invited to watch games from a box seat courtesy of Kadeem.


Looks like your friend will have to give up on those free box seats ...

Pepe the Horseman Confirmed that he's not signing. Sounds like it's the club's decision, so hopefully it means they've got someone else lined up.


Interesting. Possibly encouraging but thought he'd be a solid signing

Perhaps we're not going to do any permanent signings this summer and instead spend our limited budget on loans and contract renewals for existing players? Or is there a big player sale in the offing from which we can then splash the cash on better players than Harris?

Does seem strange though as Kadeem had been given number 7 in the Palace friendly and has been around the team for a couple of weeks.

I wonder if he'll give me an update the next time I see him at the gym but he was showing me texts between himself and supposedly Kadeem and that the only thing holding up the deal was the EFL embargo.

He's an Arsenal fan so who wants him at Reading matches anyway :lol:

wasnt happy with £8.5K a week on offer, as he was earning £10K a week with Sheffield Wednesday.

Bit of info on Kadeem Harris.

He had been told that the club were very keen on bringing him in, but then certain circumstances led to priorities changing.

These priorities are now, as you’d imagine, a striker and left-back.


What I don't get is that we've been looking for a LB for ages.

Also regarding the earlier comment about wages, thought it was publicly known what we could offer in terms of contact and money?

So the club tells a winger their priorities have changed and then immediately sign another winger?

Yep, the priority WAS him, but changed to JH

Well it wasn't quite immediate and we lost an attacking option in the game after Harris and us parted ways - Hoilett has been a rumoured target for a while, so maybe we went for Harris because we didn't think we could afford Hoilett but now we can as the top level wage may have been increased by the EFL or something happened?

Interesting that Harris trialled with us but Hoilett apparently just trained in the morning, did a medical straight afterwards and signed shortly after that - would suggest he has always been a preferred target.

Also might be that Hoilett didn't actually have time to join as a trialist as he was off playing for Canada in the Gold Cup.

Very possible of course but point stands that we signed him without "having a look" first. Which either means:

a) he was a solid target and we just had to wait for circumstances to allow the deal to happen or
b) it's a total panic signing based on injuries and the fact Hoilett lives 10 mins down the road.

I would like to think it's the first but who knows....

Lol, very true. Hopefully it is the first, his Championship record suggests that it wasn't totally a panic signing.

On paper, Hoilett's the better signing

Maybe we were always going to sign Hoilett, but Harris has had to be shelved.to prioritise a striker. While we continue to look at LBs

Poor sod. Maybe we should’ve offered to have a whip-round for him to make up the difference.
