Rumour - Ben Watson

[Streets]

I've heard Plymouth

4,000 travelling supporters can make a lot of noise.

All 2000 of them did.

[Wycombe Royal]

I heard that he got injured last night.

Handy for the weekend.

Why? He wouldn't have played anyway as Warnock is leaving him in the reserves (and cup team) until he decides that he wants to stay and signs a new deal.

Oh really? After their shocker at Leeds and the suspensions and injuries, they may just have played him though. But you can see why Warnock has taken that stance. Either way, glad he's injured. He isn't a Reading target at £2m anyway.

[Geekins]

I would love it, just love it if we stuff them on Saturday.


Wally Downes is magic, he wears a magic hat, and when he saw Neil Warnock, he said i'd slap the tw@

The shocker which he played in?

[Streets]

Oh Wycombe.

[FiNeRaIn]

Shot himself in the foot again that wycombe lad.

[Wycombe Royal]

Am I missing something here? Why have I shot myself in the foot?

Did he get injured last night as I posted? YES

Was he in Warnock's cup team as I posted? YES

If Watson goes anywhere, it'll be QPR.

If Jordan won't sell to us because he dislikes Coppell (as stated a page or so previously) I don't think he is likely to sell him to Dowie.

Not that I think Jordan will care who he sells to, as long as he is not ripped off by a tribunal as with Bostock.

[brendywendy]

thought the deal for bostock was pretty fair

[West Stand Man]

thought the deal for bostock was pretty fair

-- but Jordan didn't.

I agree though, that any antipathy that Simon Jordan has for past managers will not get in the way of a solid business deal. He has not become wealthy by turning down a good offer for cash.

wasnt he offered a better deal for the player, refused it, and asked for tribunal who gave a lower price than the one theyd already been offered-LOL-serves him right

with the sell on and performance clauses-palace will get good money if hes as good as they said he was.in fact it was good money for a kid regardless of clauses

jordan just looking for extra excuses to quit palarse IMO

I'm sure I heard that his dislike for Coppell was more about his persona, in that he wanted a full-on in-your-face type manager with a bit of arrogance - someone a bit like himself, which is probably why he went for Warnock. It wasn't that they had a big bust up or anything like that.

Perhaps we could do a swap deal involving say Lita.
Coppell said in pre-season he would be happy to go with just 3 strikers-now we have 5 so a top midfielder instead of a striker who doesn't score goals sounds a fair deal to me.
On the other hand why don't we just offer £2.2 million and get him-oh I forgot we don't have any money or do we?

Or maybe... Reading do have serious hopes for Karacan and with Matejovsky to come back then could we save the cash and give Jem his overdue chance to secure a first team spot? That's my hope anyway.
