RUMOUR - Thomas Ince

[Reading4eva]

Will buy 20 loaves of bread and post picture on here if he signs with us. And then open them all and bathe in them.

Hold you to that

gladly

To save money I suggest Asda Smartprice... We are in a recession you know

[royaldownunder]

rate ince highly would be a great capture, but cant see it happening as im sure either liverpool or soton would outbid us and liverpool have the history/more chance of european games

Liverpool have said they won't pay 8m for a player they sold to Blackpool for 250,000, plus they are getting Coutinho in so they are pretty much out of the equation. Southampton are looking for an attacking midfielder but haven't yet shown any interest in Ince since the summer. Hopefully with a new manager, he'll have different ideas. Redknapp… who knows

Why worry... We are in the driving seat, relax and trust in Nicky "I will save you a fiver" Hammond

Ince will stay at Blackpool and then join Liverpool in the summer for a minimal fee

BIG UPDATE - nothing we don't really already know or assumed about people leaving

[Blakey's Right Peg]

No chance on the Sunzu deal then, by the sounds of it.

[royalstu]

wikipedia reckon he's a reading player, 7.2mil record signing

Wikipedia also once claimed Kebe outran a Cheetah!!

[Caskeys Lovechild]

That was a simple Typo. It should have said "Cheater".

I heard it was John Terry.

McDermott interview on the Daily Mail seems to suggest the deal is nearly wrapped up.

Reading boss Brian McDermott is confident of beating Liverpool to Tom Ince's signature and believes it shows they can compete with the top clubs for highly-rated young players.
The Blackpool forward has been one of his main targets for a while but was strongly linked with a return to Liverpool this month, who let him go in 2011.
Ince, 20, has scored 15 goals in 29 league matches this season, attracting the interest of top clubs.

Reading are waiting for Blackpool to respond to their offer and McDermott said: 'Possibly [we can't compete] financially but I think we can compete as far as what we can offer. It has to feel right for the players, myself and our club. I definitely feel we can compete because we have a good environment for players to develop.
That has proven over a number of years. A lot of younger players want to come to us because they get that opportunity to develop and do well.'
When asked if the transfer would be testament to how far the club have come, he replied: 'Yes that's a good point if you consider where we were and where we are now. We do develop players and we've done that over a long period of time. It's testament to what we've done in the past 10-12 years.'

It is understood the club have offered Blackpool £6.5million for the player who McDermott sees playing in the No 10 role or on the left or right wing.
And the 51-year-old added: 'It would be decent money for this club. Thomas Ince has got a very big future in the game. He scores goals, he makes goals, he's got good feet, he can go left, he can go right. He's got a great attitude.'

Whats your point?

[southbank1871]

This may be bullshit, but I've been told it's almost a done deal and that Ince is having his medical with us tomorrow.

Reliable sauce?

[southbank1871]

Kind of. A m8 who I trust (and is a Liverpool fan) had a text from his m8 who works at the Madejski telling him this and also that Paul Ince was there too. I've seen the text but his m8 could be bullshitting.

[Reading4eva]

In the day's of the iPhone didn't his mate consider sneaking that out and taking a snap! Much more believeable but again hope your mate is right

I believe that did happen. I also believe Mr Kebe was on a Luna space craft, nearly reaching Mars before diverting back as he didn't want a late fee for training. All that in one evening.

Oh and that time when he bought a portion of chips from the Lemon Plaice got to the top of Kentwood Hill, threw them in the air and caught them all in his mouth at the bottom.

Is it impossible? May be for us but not for Jimmy

[urz13]

The guy I told you about yesterday has come back to me today saying Ince is coming down today rather than last night. Contract discussions then a medical. No-idea if it's the truth but it goes along with what southbankers was saying

[Cypry]

Introduced as a new player before tonights game?

[DOYLERSAROYALER]

Think the Blackpool chairman is trying to hold out for a bigger fee....as he has to give Liverpool 35% plus if Ince is sold , he also gets a 10% slice of any agreed fee, but if he puts on transfer request, the 10% clause is not activated.
