Surprised by how many people voted straight out "yes lets splash some cash" I would have thought there would be more bargain hunters among us!

I think the GUY (is it the Dakota that throws people? I googled it, totally a legitimate unisex name... Kinda masculine imo) (gal) is getting a bit much stick for what (to me) clearly reads 'go nuts' as just meaning 'and then start spending some more serious money' in the hypothetical eventual prom...

Ian Royal I'm more concerned that she's go no hips so is probably a little on the young side.

Maybe her boobs are so massively out of proportion that she actually does have hips but still looks on the young side?

I said we should spend some money when we are actually promoted instead of spending it now.. Is it a given we will get promotion then? yay! I'd say Bolton, Wigan, Watford, Notts Forest are all there or thereabouts compared to us, then and possibly Leicester, Ipswich*, Blackburn and Brighton aren't ...

:| Are you a bit special? You used the phrase 'and then go nuts' in your original post. My mom says im extremely special.. but by going nuts i was referring to spending 6 million on one player.. as in "If we are promoted and they want to spend 6 million on a player then go nuts!!" I am by...

Wasnt disagreeing with you, I actually think you make a good point. It was the bloke below you who suggested that we sign players to get us promoted and then 'go nuts'. What? no i didnt.. I was agreeing with him! I said we should spend some money when we are actually promoted instead of spending it...

Hate to say it but I sort of agree. 4-4-2 might be good for getting out of the Championship but does not work at PL level and so we do need to think out of the box. A fluid 4-2-4 or 4-3-3 model might give us longer term success. I also like the idea of HRK up front. I just have a feeling that if he...

Absolutely. What we need to change is what we do when we get promoted. And that's as much about improving our scouting for identifying PL capable players. Our scouting is good, but it's main focus has been finding Championship quality players who might be able to step up. It's failed miserably when...

Extended-Phenotype It'd make me feel better if we signed a striker.

Any striker??

Except Drenthe has been playing on the right and when asked on Instagram about his postion he said he's in as a right and left winger [no mention of full back, although he can cover..]. It's interesting how Adkins seems to like to invert his wingers - HRK on the right (where he looked much more com...

Plus its a shit ton of money and if fake hoops more recent signings are anything to go by then hooper will be useless

I miss his beautiful hair now..

SDR notes that all three CShip Clubs promoted to Premier League are showing real ambition. Unlike RFC who screwed up or I dropped downnnnnnnnnn. Clueless. Get it sorted Squeaky. y. Looking at these signings from a Dodgeresque perspective if they had come to Reading. Palace , signed Gayle and Dobbie...

I think talking about how good or bad, effective or useless he was in any other season apart from last season is pointless as it is his form from last season that should dictate whether or not he should start this season and I dont think anyone can say with honesty he was not our worst performing wi...

Good call!

Probably :/ but hes the best rumour I've heard so far! Austin and Hooper are over priced and less likely to join.. wouldnt say no to either of them tho!

John Guidetti on loan for the season. This guy is quality and would be a great interim signing as we are trying to bounce straight back up and if we manage that would attract better players than we would now. Most names out there look quite expensive an I think it would make more sense to spend 6 mi...

Nope. [/quote] The problem is you really can't judge the success of a transfer window without hindsight though if you could under your criteria of "proven quality" then you'd have to say January 2005 when we brought in Keown and Ferdinand was our most successful in terms of player profile...

Hard to argue a winger who gets 7-9 assists has had a good season? Okaaaaaaay. he had upwards of 70 crosses? over twice the playing time of kebe with 4 less goals and 6 more assists. Over 10 more starts than HRK and 6 less goals with only 3 more assists. And MCCleary manage 8 assists and four goals...
