It's a shame it's all happening so late. The squad looks like it'll be much stronger, but presumably none of the New additions will be involved tomorrow. So that's 5 fixtures with a team still being assembled which is likely to translate into a bad start unless we win tomorrow.

But I guess the soft embargo and need for EFL approval means all targets will hold out for better deals and only sign for us when they realise nothing bigger is coming. Similar for loans; Chelsea will probably be disappointed that they couldn't find a club willing to pay for more of his wages.

No idea who this guy is but Eddie on twitter spot on again with both signings today as was reporting both were done deals yesterday. expect the Brighton guy to sign too.

Shame we don't have local journalists (radio Berks, Get Reading and Chronicle) who can get this news.

They're all an embarrassment compared to past journalists

I'm going to start a rumour that Dutch U21 International Fanny Baater is joining Reading Women and see if Low bites.

The Twitter crew are wetting themselves over this one. Never heard of him before. Any good?

Finally we have a left back!

Getting bodies in now which is good & on paper they seem decent. Although the other way of looking at it is could be signing loads of journeymen who haven’t settled down yet :lol:

Welcome Baba! We have a stronger squad with more depth now finally. Let's hope we get no more injuries for a while

Stranded

WestYorksRoyal Time to bring back out the annual Lewis Baker speculation?

Don't tease


Well, we are apparently in talks with Chelsea over a midfielder. So only likely targets are Baker, Drinkwater or Barkley.


Drinkwater a possibility I suppose - similar situation to Baba

This is a huge signing. What’s more impressive is that we now have Ghana’s first choice RB in Yiadom and LB with Baba signing :D

Quite telling that he has put pen to paper on a new deal with Chelsea today till 2024 before making the switch. They want him to impress just as much as we want him to.

Makes more sense now with that contract extension.
