MATCHWATCH : Wycombe Wanderers (a)

[From Despair To Where?]

Hopefully we can negotiate loan backs.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Sale to a big club like Spurs with a loan back? Would be a win win, and I wouldn't bet against the likes of Bindon and Garcia making an impact at that level in a few years.

I'd be more worried about a lower Championship team chasing Bindon as an immediate upgrade. Hull for example...

[From Despair To Where?]

If the club have any sense (yeah, I know...) they would have put a stipulation in that Ruben can't sign anyone from us for 12 months.

Agents would doubtless scream restraint of trade, although with countless other clubs to choose from then that might be difficult to litigate.

Confimred by James Earnshaw that this is the case.

It's quite a common clause.

[RoyalBlue]

We really should have a few shots from half way.

I'd also suggest the Reading players pass the ball to a team member

Not at the game then? If you were you'd realise just how strong and gusty the wind is (Adams Park is windswept even when the weather is good). Both teams struggled with passing and the Wycombe keeper turned into a rugby player, constantly kicking into touch, until he gave up and started kicking straight down the middle, letting the wind decide whether to take it left or right!

In the first half the wind caught a long ball forward as it bounced up and almost over JP and into the goal. He just managed to knock it down with one hand and grab it before turning to the Royals supporters behind his goal, grinning and gesturing with his hand for them to calm down!

That's interesting. Now watch a big club sign Bindon only for them to immediately loan him out to Hull for remainder of season.

[RoyalBlue]

The ref seems to think he's playing. Loads of body checks and obtruction.

It annoys me when a ref acts like another defensive midfielder by cutting a passing lane

Remember when the manager of one of our opponents bleated like hell about Ruben going to the ref before a game and briefing him on our passing lanes?

I'm surprised it's still a thing given how little input most managers seem to have in making signings.

Good game, thought we dominated the first half, Wycombe had the better of the second, draw probably fair. A downed tree on the London Waterloo line meant I got stranded in Basingstoke on the way back home and I had to call my Dad to rescue me.

Only for the Jan window, not 12 months

This is really bizarre. If Noel says we are likely to sell players in January, why would the owners block Selles from buying?
Seems that they would only care about getting the highest price they can so eliminating one potential buyer really makes no sense.
Cant believe they give a fortune cookie about optics.

Maybe they've accepted Binden and Garcia are going, so this blocks Hull coming in for Smith, Knibbs, Wing etc, who are worth more to us than we're likely to get in fees and are also unlikely to attract much interest from elsewhere.

WHy would there be such a clause anyway ?
A club can refuse to sell a player to anyone without putting a clause in a contract.

[From Despair To Where?]

It stops players from getting unsettled.

I'd also imagine that the squad have quite a strong affinity with Ruben so, maybe the chance to go to a club managed by someone they get on with, playing a style football they are comfortable with, at a club that isn't a complete basket case might appeal.

Not if the player's contract has a break clause based on fee

Just because Earnshaw has said he's been told it's true, it doesn't mean it's true. As you rightly say, it makes no sense for a team to restrict who it can sell it's own players to, especially if it is in the mood for selling.

So! Think about this, they might like playing under Ruben but playing for Hull at the moment would be like last season as it would be a relegation battle. Staying here might mean a promotion (as things stand) and crossing over with Hull be relegated, it just not make sense to go there.

As always in football, £s are king and players believe they'll succeed.
