We didn't have a MOM. Nobody worthy enough anyway.

...yesterday to have a mooch at the new size and range.

Strangely, no new kits of any description, even on show. Obviously, I know they won't go on sale for a while yet, they never do; but to have nothing on show seemed a bit odd. I do wonder what our club is up to, on all levels.

I had a song devoted to me that day. No, I did, honest!

LoyalRoyalFan DL - S.Hunt (Why new left back i ask?)

You are having a laugh, aren't you?

I'd like to know where, apart from LB people think our squad is weak, and Coppell has already said he is looking for a replacement now Shorey has left. GK.......USA is the best goalie in the division, and Fed is more than capable back up - Is he? Reallly? Great shot stopper, but seems to have got wo...

We need someone like Big Sam. Madejski would have a coronary at Big Sam's list of players/wages that he would like to bring in. He'd barely get in the door, let alone get to '2nd interview' stage (if they have one in managerial terms.) Safe to say, if we want a manager with true ambition, we need a...

We had a transfer budget of £0 until we sold Kitson, Thats was disgusts me the most. We have two years in the prem of spending peanuts and the money dissapears? Laughable management of this football club. As well as the often rolled out quip of "The chairman will consider any request..." ...

Collins John would give us zip more than what we already have. Lita >>>>>>> John.

We need height up front more than anything, if we were in the market for another striker.

I think he re-surfaced at Hull for a bit, but then again who hasn't.

Stuart Beavon - he rarely missed.

we still don't have a good enough right midfielder, kebe is a left sided player though he is right footed http://www.readingfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10306~1358454,00.html Coppell says: "He's actually more comfortable on the left wing, but I said to him there's a hole on our right,...

SpaceCruiser £2m is far too cheap for Shorey - we'll never get a decent replacement for him with that money! I'd rather we kept him until January than sell him too cheaply.

So how much would you get for him in January? £1.5 or less? Doofus.

True, but whoever Shorey's replacement is, it won't be as good as Shorey (or that club would be signing THAT player, I'd guess) What is staggering is that we get to August before it all comes out in the wash. Our 'fingers crossed' attitude with Kebe, Karacan, Shunt, Nhunt...doesn't fill me up with s...

we dont do things a different way because our chairman doesnt want to dump shedloads of his money into a bottomless pit, because he wants us to be financially viable to increase likelihood of selling. Yeah, it doesn't matter how we actually do on the football pitch, just make the books look all pre...

£3m + a new left back that wants to be at RFC >>>>>>>>>>> Nicky Shorey. 3 M minus orients sell on, minus the fee for a new LB = ~0 million + new LB who isnt as good as NS <<<<<< Nicky shorey Which is exactly what we'll get, so what's your point? Reality stinks, eh.

I remember them relegating us and Paul Brayson hitting the post Well, yes, not a nice memory. That was on Sky Sports, wasn't it?

£3m + a new left back that wants to be at RFC >>>>>>>>>>> Nicky Shorey.

sheshnu Royalee has a point and I think he'd be the first to agree that Dave Kitson was worth at least £15 million before Reading were relegated.

One wonders why he considers some of the other players' values so low.

FIFTEEN??? MILLION??? When David Villa is being touted at £24m?

The trouble is that Sidwell is of vastly different stock than Shorey. Sidwell hadn't been flirting with the England set up and ran his socks of for RFC. Shorey had one niff of the big time and then proceeded not to proceed. Shorey is better off being replaced for a hungrier model than Sidwell was in...
