Harpers So Solid Crew Bloody hell, it now appears that Watford want Simon Church on a season long loan to push the deal through with us, sauce, wait and see.


I don't see a problem with that. At least we'll find out if he's any good.

Wouldn't bother me. :| We still have Hunt, Long, Mooney, Robson-Kanu, Henry and Bignall. All can play up top if necessary.

Royal_Belly You know what - I am sick of this!! I wish someone would have the balls to speak out and tell us what exactly is happening - I know people will say "they don't owe us fans anything blah blah blah" but this is bloody cringe worthy!!! One minute he's coming, the next Reading have withdrawn their offer, then he's had a medical and apparenty passed it and now our offer has been matched by Portsmouth and we are now going to be well and truly shafted out of signing this player!!!


Who would you want to tell you what in this kind of situation?

Nick Hammond maybe? they don't have to tell us all the ins and outs but just the basics - "yes we have made an offer and it has been accepted - by both clubs and player" "yes tommy smith has been for a medical - and passed" "yes tommy smith will be uveiled as a Reading player in front of 8,000 fans at tonights game!" :oops:

I'm just soo frustrated!

Why would we have to let Church go on loan as part of the deal? Either Smith wants to come to us or he doesn't. If he refuses to go to Pompey, Watford are left with letting him go to us or losing both deals and being left with Smith, who will be worth zero to them next year. If he wants to go to Pompey over us - that's up to him.

Assuming of course, this Church thing isn't yet more puerile WUMing.

Just as an aside, if he passed his medical yesterday why didn't be complete the deal there and then rather that wait til today and give scope for something like this to happen.

I'm well aware of that, but it has been obvious for some time what Rodgers is after in the transfer market and it is somewhat tedious that it still doesn't appear to have been sorted.

So have Egoman and his grape feeding DOF been out-manoeuvred ????????

The fact that we penny pinched for so long, has given Portsmouth time to drive through a clear strategy and ownership going forward, which has allowed their manager to put in the bid , that we so grudgingly had to offer, at the first time of asking

If we hadnt fart arsed about at the outset when Pompey were in total disarray, and werent in a position to make any offer, we would not be in this position now....

Oh how the Ego may be dented!

Not losing any faith in Rodgers, just annoyed that his superiors do not appear to be doing their jobs properly in this instance.

He won't be able to score for us any way. Need more then just one short striker.

isn't the medical done after personal terms have been agreed anyway?
