SQUADWATCH - Summer 2026

Plus there might be a FIFA solidarity payment on top? Or would that get dropped if a club is also benefitting from a sell on? He was with Reading between the ages of 18-23.

As far as I'm aware, the FIFA solidarity payments only come into play if it's an international transfer, so if it ends up being between two English clubs then that won't apply.

Would be very surprised if Femi was happy to stay put. I’ll expect him to push pretty hard for that move

But it also smacks of a TDD deal. Star player agitating to play at a higher level, selling club places a high value on him until a last minute compromise is reached.

So we may be using the money in January.

Just had a quick glance at the squad page https://www.readingfc.co.uk/teams

According to that we have 19 first team players, 4 of which are goalkeepers.... clearly they need to update that page!

Can somebody tell me if our owner came out in this close season to confirm whether the transfer window was going to be exciting, extraordinary or just plain fcuking dull?

Also have the toilets been decorated and when is the next fireworks display?

And when are we getting The Nolans or Bucks Fizz in concert?

Being as the main criticism of him last year was his over promising in preseason, suspect he’s just learned his lesson and kept his mouth shut

Blame Bobby G and David van Day.

He scored a few whilst on loan to Torquay last season so must have something about him as a striker! He is 20 now so you would think he really needs to kick on this season and play well if we are to keep him on our books. I really hope things work out for him as we really need a few strikers coming through the youth ranks.

Just getting a bit edgy with the big kick-off only 12 days away.

How many strikers did we have at the start of preseason that have kicked a first team football? I made it a possible 5; Marriott, Patton, WiFi, Evans & Brown or as they are now known; Bubbles, injured, sold, loaned and “actually I’m an AM”. Need to bring in some, preferably, unbreakable striking options very quickly.
