It is my favourite type of sand.

Was that Reading4Eva at Bournemouth beach?

I see it like this too. If he does not want to play for the club any longer let’s move him on.

I was there today therefore I will take credit for it

Allegedly, Brighton are/have offered Oliver Norwood to us as a makeweight in the deal. They really don't want to spend the money we want do they?

I liked Norwood but really not sure his coming back would be the right move for us.

Complete and utter bollocks.

Norwood was a terrible player for us anyway, wouldn't be welcome back.

I hope it is but can't see us taking it - though we do want a DM. If they were to offer a player, think I'd rather Hemed, who appears to also be available but would prefer either the cash or Moore to stay.

No way we would need Hemed now. We'd have 5 strikers on our books if he came in. I just want the club to take the money on this one and make a late bid for a couple of hungry up and comers from the Championship or League 1.

Don't want Norwood back. He offered very little and was one of the causes of our sluggish football we played when he was here.

Good point. I forgot how bad we were before Stam made it worse

I actually quite liked Norwood, don't think this deal looks like happening and I cant wait to welcome Moore back with open arms.

Think thats a bit unfair on Moore. He has always given us 100%. He has the opportunity for his family to progress his career and improve his financial situation. If anybody else done that his colleagues would not think he was disloyal

Why is it harsh? We are saying we want him to move on just as the player wants to. Not sure of the point you are making. He doesn't want to be here any more and we could do with the cash.

The guy that runs the Sainsburys local at the end of my road put in for an assistant manager job at Savacentre. He didn't get it.

There's no way I'm shopping in there again 'til he's gone. The dirty rat.

If thew boot is on the other foot we would not be moaning. Players are just as loyal as the club they play for tbh. If a better defender became available we wouldn't be saying its unfair on Moore to be displaced from the team. But as soon as he asks to leave, suddenly he is not loyal to the club.
I dont really have an issue with him, timing was a bit off but maybe Brightons interest come very late and thats why his head was turned. Would he have handed in a TR to let him be able to speak to Brighton officially? Not sure how the rules work around clubs speaking to players.

Down at the Madejski having a few conversations. The owners have made it clear Liam Moore will be staying at Reading. The rumours about Mo Barrow leaving I am told is just "agent chat". Everyone here @ReadingFC hoping for and expecting a quiet day.

I saw this too and think it's great news if we can hold on to arguably our two best players

This ^

If we are in a good position come January then we can demand more for them and start to build for next season...

There’s no arguing about it. Definitively our two best players.

It'd be like two new signings!

Wondering if Moore will throw a tantrum if he stays?
