Official page on Facebook says we are talking to a player with Premier League experience, but probably won't be done by the weekend.

WoodleyRoyal its Chris Baird


READING and West Brom have shown an interest in Fulham utility man Chris Baird.

Could be. That is major. Majorly disappointing! :roll:


Reading fans - 'We demand Premier League experienced players'

'Reading interested in Chris Baird' (rumoured, of course)

Reading fans - 'Not good enough, we want Premier League experienced players'

Chris Baird would be a good signing. Can play at right back, centre half and centre mid. Covers three positions and has experience of playing for his country, in Europe and many seasons in the Premier League. Get a grip, be realistic.

All jokes aside if I was Brian then Chris Baird would have been my number on target this window. Experienced in a position were struggling in, potentially available and not a big name with an inflated price in January.

id love that

him and shorey return to make up for the fact they basically sent us down in 07/08

Harsh on Sidwell Brenders. Of anyone who has let his contract run down Sidwell did his best inthe circumstances. Could ask for no ore than that. Shorey is more on the money.


I blame Scott Brown. Him rejecting us and those comments about us going to get relegated was a self fulfilling prophecy.


im not blaming them, or hating them

but sidwell oxf*rd off, and shoreys sulk wee the difference between survival and relegation
it would be nicely symmetrical if they came back and put that right

I know we need to tighten up at the back an' all that but we need an attacking midfielder and another striker.....

The Chronicle says the club confirmed we were talking to a PREMIERSHIP club about an experienced Premiership player.

I suspect Brian is happy with the strikers. He will look at the goals scored as there not being a problem up front.

It will either be an attacking midfielder (which I doubt now we have bought two midfielders already) or a defender (Upson was enquired about in December).

I've heard rumours of Baird; would be an excellent signing. Experience, recent good form with Fulham. Can shore up RB, or CM is Carrico and Akman don't step up. Probably not break the bank wages; should we go down he won't leave and will be a quality player down there.

Do it Brian!
