Looked at the Reading ones from July 2005. They are:

Sidwell to Charlton (£3.5mil)
Freddy Eastwood from Southend
Danny Pugh from Leeds (£400k)
Kitson to West Ham (£2.5mil)
Dean Morgan to Luton (Ok, that was right)
Sidwell to Sunderland
Sidwell to Liverpool (£1.75mil)
Stack from Arsenal (That one was right as well)
Harper to Norwich

and the best one..........

Sidwell to QPR

Todays rumours.

READING are set to complete the triple signing of Notts Forest winger KRIS COMMONS for £950,000 rising to £1.5 depending on international games and Premiership survival, WAYNE ROUTLEDGE from Spurs on a season long loan with a view to a £1.4m deal and Manchester United striker Guiseppi Rossi on a season long loan.

Reading have also knocked back a £1.5m bid from Charlton Athetic for midfielder STEVEN SIDWELL as Reading close in on Charlton's MATT HOLLAND for £500,000.

Man City, B'Ham, Reading and Wolves are in the running to sign striker Izale McLeod for a fee of around £1,000,000

This bloke is living in a dream world - Stoke City news
They will also sign Reading midfielder Glenn Little as part of the deal with John Halls.

to the guy who sed Reading wil sign ray palour. absolute rubbish. coppell's too smart to waste money like that. a mate knows GK coack sal bibbo and these are readings real targets. 1or2 of kilgallon £2m, shittu £2m, mensah £2m, upson £3m.
1 of elliott £1m or koumas £2m, with francis£2.5, if sidwell goes(£2m buyout clause if charlton are serious). 1 right winger, coppell likes the look of greg halford £2m. then 1 of lupoli (loan), eddie johnson£3m, c cole £2m or nugent £4m.
likely ins:
mensah 2
elliott 1
lupoli L
halford 2

any1 who actually thinks sidwell will leave foir charlton or anyone else is crazy. coppell has long been an admirer of him, and has always maintained that he is an essential part of the first team. he will sign a new contract next wednesday worth 20k/wk. this will have a buyout clause of £6.5m. sidwell knows hes guarenteed a place at reading and wont leave. hell help to establish the side in the prem - I believe this bit

Apparently these are going to be our 'BIG" signings - reading - forsell - heskey - gera - clichy

READING FC LATEST:
All these are v. likely, expect most of them to happen.

In's:
Jaouad Zairi L/RM (2.5 Million + Future Incentives from Sochaux)

Joleon Lescott CB (1.2 Million + Future Incentives from Wolves)

Ray Parlor CM (800k from Middlesbrough)

Christian Dailey CB/DM (Free Transfer)

Shaun Barlett ST (Free Transfer)

Billy Jones L/RB, CB, CM (100k 6 Month Loan from Crewe with option to buy for 1 Million)

Joey O'Brian CM (End of season loan from Bolton)

OUTS:
John Oster RM (Free Transfer to Sunderland)
Shane Long ST (6 month loan to QPR)
Aaron Brown CB (End of season loan to either Bristol Rovers or Northampton)

Other Reading News:-
Reading are desperatly trying to secure Steve Sidwell in a new three year contract. If Sidwell doesn't sign within the next 10 days then Reading will accept Charlton's offer of 2.5 million plus Matt Holland (CM) for him.

Steven Hunt had declared that he will only stay at Reading if they offer him at least a two year contract instead of justt one.

Chris Makin is set to sign a new one year contract next week.

Reading have dropped intrest and/or negotiations in Matthew Upson, David Weir, Paul Dicov, Mathieu Flamini, Jermaine Pennant & Carlton Cole for undisclosed reasons.

Make of this what you will but I hear that David James will be on his way to Reading this summer as a makeweight in a deal which will take Steve Sidwell to Manchester City. Sidwell will cost City £2.25m, with James making up the deal.

Reading are going to go after some experienced players to try to keep them up, expect moves for:

Hargreaves (wants move to premeirship, 2-3million)
Whitehead (would jump at chance to return to prem)
Malbranque (expect a cheaky bid, no chance)
Angel (proven goalscorer)
Holland (part of deal taking Sidwell to Charlton)

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but not worthy of a new one.

Expect none of those names to come remoteley near to joining Reading.

Nice one on the rumours site yesterday.

Apparently we are going to sign Italian striker Filippo Inzhagi. He has held talks with JM recently and he wants to see his career out in Berkshire because he has relatives here

We may as well sack Nick Hammond then if players are going to discuss deals with the top man and not the director of football. Maybe with that wage saved, we could afford Steve Sidwell's new contract!

READING have agreed a club record fee for Derby County winger/striker TOMMY SMITH. A deal is close and the player will hook up with his new team mates in early July for preseason.
TOM HUDDLESTONE is also set to complete a 3 year deal to join the Royals. I am told though that 'wages could be a problem'



Is Big Ern responsible for this gigantic fibberooney?

Wasn't me, although I did send them an e-mail claiming we were intersted in siging Keith MacPherson, but they didn't post it. B@stards

Further tosh fo your consideration....

Luke Wilkshire has become a target for reading and sheffield united. Dutch clubs az alkmaar and fc twente also interested

Reading will make the triple signing of Emile Heskey, Julian Gray and Stephen Clemence for 8 million.


Steve Sidwell was offered £16k a week by Charlton which Reading finally matched this week. He was set to stay with us but now Man City have offered him £25k a week which he will (of course) take up. He will be a man City player very shortly


Reading have a transfer kitty of £9m+ and will sign:
Upson-birmingham-3m
Hargreaves-bayern munich-3m
Carlton Cole-Chelsea-Loan
Davenport-tottenham-1m
Holland-charlton-750k
Seol-wolves-900k
+ 2/3 other signings from Ireland,Asia or America
OUTS:
Long-QPR-Loan
Hayes-Tranmere-Loan
and 1/2 other fringe players. poss Oster

the only vague possibility out of that last lot is Seol for 900k

Wages could be a problem with a few of them.

Also judging by Howe's recent comments, Davenport too would be a posssibilty. The rest of it is bollocks.

im fairly certain theres a general agreement between man utd and cruzeiro, where he's developed in brazil and brought to England in a couple of years time.. anyone know?

You never know, but I think he might be joking

Reading FC.

I think a lot of the rumours concerning the royals are highly unlikely as Hargreaves will NEVER sign for them and I cant really see them spending over £1m on players so anyone over £3-4m is a no no.

Possible signings : Mensah, Davenport, Postiga (unlikely), Inzaghi (again unlikely although his Mrs is from Berkshire and he wants to end his career in EPL + depends on AC Milan) but the one I hope for is Upson as he played for us before and loves the club + facilities. Possible Loans I have heard on the grape vine are SWP, Walcott (Lives in berkshire I know as I know his Dad) or Vela.
Bas Savage & Andy Hughes will not be re-signed for a club who got rid of them because they were not good enough for championship let alone Premiership!
Sidwell to stay one more season.
I am going on hearsay so I doubt this is 100%

Who submits this to football rumours? Must be someone on here?

sounds like RFC2CJ, taking it a bit to seriously
