In Mirror today, #RFC Reading join chase for Bosman Gary O'Neil. #NCFC held talks but can't be certain he is joining yet

Mirror journo. Haven't seen the article.

[SPARTA]

Usually a decent journo too, but can't see anyone coming until this mess is sorted.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Would have said no fcuking way this time last year. Now I'd be delighted if we signed him. Or anyone else. Not sure what this means for Adam Clayton though.

Wages wouldn't be cheap surely considering he was at QPR last season? Decent player though.

Going round that the love of your life could be off to Brighton.

Perfect place to establish the bromance tbf.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Rofl. He's been linked with Brighton and Boro. Obviously stalling until we're in a position to make a bid.

[Sutekh]

A player we should have signed 7 years ago but the club thought Fae would be a better option

[floyd__streete]

More chance of us signing April O'Neil.

#thanksAnton

[Pepe the Horseman]

Erm, yes fcuking please.

Fae was the cheaper option. Story of a failure at the time. SJM not prepared to build on the 8th place premier league finish. Such a massively disappointing waste.

Adam Clayton every time ! When is Kuhl going to Man City ?

It was Coppell who pulled the plug on the deal. Madejski was happy to pay the transfer fee and the wages at the time. Same with Matty Taylor

Oh Steve.

Not sure either Gary O'Neill or Matty Taylor would have been the answer though tbf

[floyd__streete]

G O'N went up in my estimation this week when Mafffffffffffffffffffffffff said on Twitter how he hates O'Neil, who himself very reasonably replied back to ask why so before Mafffffffffffffffffffffffff desperately backpedaled like David Seaman in the last minute of the 1995 ECWC Final

Pretty sure we used 7 or 8 right wingers on the way to relegation and O'Neil would've been a massive improvement on the likes of Rosenoir, Oster or Kebe.

We were pretty weak on the left too with Hunt having to play pretty much week-in, week-out. Taylor would again have added more than and at worst been a better option at left back when Hunt had to play there at times.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Didn't we have the chance to sign Gary Cahill as well?

[TheLawnMowerMan]

Signed for NCFC apparently, so thread dead.

Maffff was embarrassing to be honest. Same as when he tweets other clubs fans to wind them up. He's a WUM in ITK clothing.
