Reading are in talks with 6'4" Japanese international striker Mike Havenaar.

Reading have also agreed a fee with Crewe for Max Clayton. Reading striker Gozie Ugwu will go the other way on a season long loan.

PistolPete 6'4'' - More of a Pog style forward? Pog on his way out?

Seems a good guy reading some of his interviews...

I'm liking his height and heading ability. http://vimeo.com/65893877

SLAMMED "You're nothing special, we lose every week" got a good showing yesterday.

It'll be nice to swap that around for next season:

"You're nothing special, we win every week"

Current Strikers ⋅ Pogrebnyak - Looking likely he will leave. Rebuttal - Has not yet left (we should not sign a marque striker when we have one on 65k a week) ⋅ Le Fondre - Proven Championship goalscorer. Agreed. ⋅ Blackman - Not proven at Championship level. Rebuttal ...

21 Jul 2013 15:48:26 Billy Sharp will hold formal talks with Reading this week. Previously Reading have spoken to his representatives, however Nick Hammond has returned from discussions with Juventus over the clubs new partnership and is keen to secure two final signings before the start of the new ...

Ian Royal Maybe he's recently fit and being worked up to readiness for some games shortly.

Maybe, but Adkins has recently that he was some way off and we would have to ease him back in carefully. That isn't someone who is "great to be back fit and ready for the new season"..

But we can hope.

When Coventry do get to stop ground-sharing, and putting their fans out, they plan to build just an 18,000 all seater - http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/northampton-will-not-be-bullied-in-groundshare-deal-with-coventry-8705173.html That's quite some difference to the Ricoh...

What the phuck is it with Reading's Twitter page spamming the hell out of our timelines with Instagram photos? Surely we should join Instagram if we want that crap. They can upload them via Twitter. I really don't get it, but it's very annoying!

Pepe the Horseman Bezzie m8s <3

Drenthe's looking leaner already. As Adkins said, we just need to get him fit, keep him fit, and we have one hell of a player on our hands. At the moment he's just Mass Sarr #2.

My wife and I are thinking of moving to London for a year next May. We have done Canada, and now looking to the UK before heading back home to Australia to start a family. All ghey life story's aside, I was wondering if it would be difficult for me to get a season ticket for next year? Obviously I ...

Am I missing something here ? the similaraties to last season, an early dip into the transfer market with three coming in, although on paper, Bridge, Drenthe and Williams would appear to be up a level or three on last years early birds, but now we seem to have stalled, many suggestions that the &qu...

Neil Lennon wants at least one new player in before the next CL game but said nothing looked certain yet. They're supposed to be interested in Sharp. Seems he has his choice of clubs.

Regarding Inzaghi, I was quoting a reliable Italian Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio who works for SkySport Italy. I can't force anyone to believe what I have revealed tonight, but its 100% the truth which is why im sharing it with you all. Would hope others would do the same in my position. How do yo...

No Fixed Abode ^^Sorry m8. Didn't realise you were sensitive about weight^^

Apologies, I just have a low tolerance for bullshit.

It is to a point, but we are pushing our limits now in terms of wages, infrastructure, the millions already invested to get us to Cat 1 status, and the annual £2.5m it takes to maintain it; not forgetting the new training ground we are purchasing land for and then building it. Perhaps later his dad ...

We all know Adkins doesn't rate leg as a first team player but surely just a coincidence? Can 100% see him going this window to a mill wall or shef Wednesday type team Another person who has forgotten that Leigertwood is an absolute tank in the Championship. Used to be, but memories seem to be shor...

We clearly need a striker. oxf*rd Sharp. Anton needs to go after Hooper, what would it take? 5m? Surely we can afford that to complete the squad. Yeah, every Championship trying to run the club in a sensible manner throws £5m away willy nilly. Just a point,how can paying 5mill for a proven striker ...

Royal Ginger Pretty sure it's a no-story.

AZ confirmed Pog will go if the right offer comes in.
Leigertwood can leave.
Carrico having a medical with a loan to Sevilla agreed.

RoyalTank Watched him a few times for Exeter - nothing special and their fans weren't too bothered when he left.

Swindon were the same with HRK..
