RUMOUR - Thomas Ince

[Millsy]

but seriously does anyone know if this is truly off or just speculation? im about to leave for class so i might not have a chance to know for a couple of hours.

Everything is speculation.

My hunch is hell be ours by the end of the day.

[cmonurz]

My hunch is that he will join Liverpool at approximately 6pm tomorrow.

People seem to forget that, if we stay up - we get a f/ck load of money. If we go down - we get a f/ck load of money.

Despite what the club secret police will have you believe, it is safe to spend money on players.

i believe that if you check the accounts from last time we were up and had a shed load of money, and when we were relegated and got a shed load of money
pretty much all of it went on wages and we were still forced to sell our best players to try and fill that gap, making some big losses over the next couple of years
but dont let the facts get in the way ofr an E_P rant

My hunch is your hunch is probably more accurate than my hunch.

[TBM]

Do we really need him?

Why not give Jordan Obita a chance to prove himself.........scored 2 goals today for the U21's

[Big Ern]

THIS IS ZAHA ALL OVER AGAIN!!! We stalled over petty sums, he now joins Man U for twice what they wanted! RFC IN BEING CLUELESS SHOCKER

My word we are excitable this morning.

This is also nothing like the Zaha situation. I know for a fact we did try and negotuate more with Zaha as the player made it very clear he was not interested in joining us from the outset. Even if we went back to them with an offer of 20million he would not have joined.

If we stay up we get £80million straight up from SKY
Plus another £20mill from sponsor deal
Plus £25mill from the FA
Add to that the approximate figure if £30mill from other income and you're talking
A TOTAL OF £190MILLION AT LEAST

I prefer E-P; hyphen rather than underscore.

And yeah, like I said - it's safe to spend money on players.

Dharmesh Sheth

That c**t sums up everything that is wrong with 21st century sensationalist football. I would happily put a bullet in him



DS not WR

[winchester_royal]

Apparently we're in for Andy Burton instead. Young, up and coming...just our type.

I didn't realise buying Tom Ince would guarantee us safety and £190M in the bank, oh wait, it doesn't.

A club like Reading cannot survive paying silly wages, especially in the Championship, given how low our income is. This £8M we're potentially about to spunk on a talent unproven in the PL could pay the wages of our key players in the current squad for next season if we were to get relegated. For my money, having the majority of our current squad is a stronger position to be in than have to sell half our current squad to facilitate an £8M 'star' player that, hypothetically, didn't add a great deal to the squad because we still got relegated.

Don't get me wrong, he probably would do well for us and £8M is hardly the be all and end all, but given how prudent we've always been, this seems a bit reckless.

SSN really are pcunts of the highest order aren't they?
