For two whole days I felt like I had a purpose in life. A UR&G thread I'd started had been promoted to the team board. The TEAM BOARD ffs!

I thought I'd made it. I thought I was something special.

After his signing and subsequently outstanding debut at Chelsea I was going to dine out on "I broke the news on Hobnob".

If you see me sitting on the parapet of Caversham Bridge tonight don't stop me. There's no point anymore.

Time to face facts TFF.

You're covered in shit like the rest of us.

Hopefully not indicative of the player.

It's in English

Random irrelevant fact alert...

The track is called 'White Horse' by Wonderland Avenue, and is a cover of the original Laidback classic. It was signed by the label I used to work for (Kinky Vinyl) and then exclusively licensed to the label I currently work for (Ministry of Sound / Data Records).

That's about it really.

Thanks for that. Hope work is going well for you.

Cheers Scutts, yeah it's going very well.

The Royals are said to be close to agreeing a deal - believed to be in the region of £550,000 plus added incentives - for the Malta international who currently plays for Portuguese club Leixoes.

Nwoko, 23, is thought to have agreed a three-year contract with Reading boss Steve Coppell and Leixoes president Carlos Oliveira has now confirmed that the deal is close to completion.

"The deal is practically closed," Oliveira told Skysports.com.

And Nwoko, who has made three appearances for Malta, has admitted he is looking forward to the prospect of playing in the Premier League.

"I know the Premier League from the television and it would be sensational to play there," Nwoko added.

"I am very excited and Reading is a fighter club which is perfect for my style of play."

Weird, the exact same story has just been reanimated by sporting life.

Looks like a low-risk attacking option from the bench... maybe coppell will give him a stab on the right!!?

Quick Platypuss - stick it back on the team board!

mail has us poised to sign Jimmy Kebe and signing Nwoko for £550,000

(oops - sorry, wrong link!)

so much for just kebe signing. Hopefully if both players sign, they will be decent acquisitions.

Now this signing does excite me.

Built like a brick shit-house.

F*ck me.

Just been looking at the youtube videos of him.

This guy has got INCREDIBLE ball control. Ball seems magnetized to his feet. And he's stronger than an Ox.

Please let this be true.

More news from teamtalk.http://www.teamtalk.com/

From the link in the above post :

Royals close to Nwoko swoop
Malta international midfielder Udo Nwoko is on the brink of sealing a move to join Reading from Portuguese side Leixoes.

Nwoko, who was born in Nigeria, has undergone a medical with the Premier League side and the two clubs have agreed a fee, believed to be in the region of 750,000 euros (£550,000).

Royals boss Steve Coppell made his move after sending scouts to watch the highly-rated Nwoko in a number of matches this season, with the player set to sign a three-year contract.

Leixoes president Carlos Oliveira said: "The deal is practically done."

Nwoko told the Portuguese press: "I know the Premier League from the games I have seen on television and it is sensational to play there.

"I am very excited and I understand that Reading are a battling club, which will be perfect for my game."

Same sort of wording as the Sky Sports Artice?

Pretty much identical in fact.

Same Artice on Sky Sports

Is this is 3rd Medical at Reading?
