This may be what the club are saying publicly, but I can tell you that I was very reliably informed that it will be November earliest, unless he has experienced a miraculous recovery in the past 2 wks. Maybe they're playing it down so that prices aren't inflated for any centre backs that we may be l...

My point was that it is quite an achievement that we received such a large fee for a reserve player.

Our previous record that was beaten easily was for an absolute Royals legend.

Does anyone know the top 5 fees received for Reading players?

I hope that Carl Asaba makes it

I believe that the sale of Halford smashed our record transfer fee received. The fact that we can sell someone who often failed to make the bench for 2.5-3m is a real sign of progress by this club.

I can't think of a fee we've received that is close?

Shaka?

It is my understanding (from a source at the club) that Sonks' injury will keep him out til at the earliest November. This combined with the fact that we may have up to 3 centre backs away in the African nations cup in January (Sonks- if fit, Bikey and Sodje) is why we are being linked with lots of ...

he'll be released at the end of the season, no way is he going to replace kits, doyle, lita or long. the previous young players we have sent out on loan have all been moved on. coppell won't trust him at this level unless he does exceptionally well on loan.. young, mullins, howell, etc..

Sorry, Chicken Balti, but I played football with him a number of times and could clearly see that he didn't stand out at all. If you are to become a premiership footballer I think that you would clearly be a lot better than the other kids who just play football up the park.

Cox used to go to my school. He never looked like anything special then and I haven't seen anything from him since that would suggest otherwise. Always looks like a boy running around aimlessly amongst men.

Won't ever be good enough and is destined for a career in the non-league.

Can't see many turning up for a pre-season friendly priced at £15 for Adults against low league opposition!

Sort yer pricing out rushden!

Just saw some of the goals and an interview with Coppell on SSN. Should be on again later if anyones interested.

Good to see Leroy back into the swing of things!
