http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/reading-will-test-birminghams-resolve-with-1m-1560948 Looks like we're in for £1million for this guy, seems that the Sunzu deal looks unlikely now… to be honest I'd rather have this guy, with a bit of PL experience under his belt unless Sunzu was ...

Ian Royal One of those players who's a bit too good for the Championship, but not quite good enough for the Premier League.

Yep, thats why QPR shipped him out… has been a good servant for the club, he'd do well in another prem chasing championship side good luck to him

If RFC offered 6.5M for any player in this transfer window I would be absolutely gobsmacked. Maybe we will start spending that sort of money in future years (assuming we are still in the PL) with new TV deals etc, but I just cannot belive it will happen this month. In a way I hope I am surprised - ...

Reading Aloud Looks like we've made an unsuccessful bid of £6.6M

This will go down till the final hours of the window, Blackpool are out for as much as they can get. Expect Harry to swoop at the last minute…

Good point, would be good to have another striking option if Roberts is effectively out of the equation.

What gets me is the endless and baseless wild speculation that somehow the magical fairy godmother will sprinkle fairy dust and bring Sigurdsson back. If there had been the faintest whiff of it in the mirror, I could understand.

Dry yer eyes, get some cream for them callouses, she's gone. Move on.

It'll be a great fixture, and lets face it we'd come up against them sooner or later if we managed to progress.
All the pressure will be on Man U so this will be the first game in ages the team can just enjoy rather than worrying about the drop zone.

royalZILLAAA Not going to happen, get over it.

Some of you in this thread sound like the clingy ex-boyfriend who w@nks off into a pair of knickers she left behind every time he 'stumbles across' her facebook profile.

For a guy who's done RFC proud and brought in numerous brilliant signings at the right prices, I would say he's certainly the man for us and has brilliant negotiating skills. Arsenal also rate him highly enough to have made an approach It that the Arsenal that won't spend any money and loses all it...

Sheffield Utd fan i spoke to on Saturday recons a deal is already very close for Blackman to go to Palace. He's turned it down http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2269037/Nick-Blackman-rejects-Crystal-Palace-transfer.html Would he be any better than what we have already? I could only ...

at least it's not another centre back...

Haha, what else can he do! - his statement yesterday would clearly have alarmed everyone, you don't just change your mind like that overnight… he'll have a sneaky pair of runners stashed next the the exit door from now on

so to you having deep pockets means -must spend what i want them to? clearly his pockets are deeper than JMs who had stopped spending anything. and clearly we are in no danger of going under, precisely because weve not gone over board So you're saying our owner would abandon us if we ever wound up ...

IF we are bidding 8m for Ince, (it seems very unlikely we would pay for this all in one go, and I imagine it has numerous clauses attached) I would assume that we think that it is a worthwhile investment. IF that is the case, I would certainly take BMD's valuation of the player over most people on t...

bobbybottler Surely Akpan is cup-tied?

Yes, but this is a thread about a premier league fixture so I fail to see your point

This would be very unlike us to allow anything public being allowed to be aired especially with so much money on the cards. What ever happens, with Since or likewise, money will be spent this week with 3 players in, 3 players out! Even if that did make sense, you are talking bølløcks… most our tran...

This game can be looked at as a write off in our bid for survival, so we should play for a point from the off and see what we can sneak in the last 10 - 20 minutes. Any points are very much bargain bonuses. We do need a bit more pace and hassle than the side showed in the first half against Newcast...
