Reading FC close in on loan star

[TBM]

Brian McDermott has hinted there is a chance he will add to Reading’s squad ahead of the loan transfer deadline a week tomorrow.


Any guesses?

Rooney. He's coming to us to get match fit.

I think the headline doesnt really match the story in this case, McD's comments certainly mirror the regular pre-written, transfer window, loan window near closing time, press releases of full of the "Possibility", "if something comes our way" splurge.

Jason Roberts please - had a big fall out with big sam

[Ian Royal]

I'd take Roberts. He's certainly not much worse than what we have and another body would be useful.

wages permitting of course.

He has just scored 2 in 2 for them? Can't see it being him.

I dont want "not much worse" nor "another body" - it has to improve the squad and preferably someone who would become automatic first choice.

When asked if he has lined up anyone to join, McDermott said: “There’s a possibility. I’m looking at a good player.

Would rather a tall, strong ball winning centre midfielder who can just keep hold of the ball and not keep lumping it up to longy every 10 seconds

We had one and everyone took him for granted. (James Harper)

Well obviously I want someone to walk straight into the first team as well, but we have three strikers, so anyone who isn't total shit will improve our squad. You may have noticed we haven't been able to field a striker on the bench for a couple of games now. That in itself is a problem.

joeby: Not much point in that midfielder when Mills, Griffin & Harte at least spend half of their time bypassing midfield with balls into Long or the channels.

Eidur?

[leww_rfc]

Leon Best?
Roman Bednar?
Kevin Phillips?
...
Gylfi Sigurdsson?

[comeonyouroyals]

Bednar or Miller I reckon.

Noone I reckon.

Udo Nwankwo?

Gavin Henson?

That's right, cling to those straws! Personally I think there's naff all chance of anything happening until January and even then I reckon we'll be lucky to see anything done as regards new players.
