Where will Reading Finish?

[cmonurz]

I think we'll hover around the playoff places most of the season. 5th.

[brendywendy]

there are more than one team reportedly interested during the offseason
id say that constitutes a queue- a short one, but a queue nonetheless

sidders longer queue may have something to do with the fact he was going on a free

Reportedly? I thought Coppell said he hadn't received bids for our players?

Sidwell's just gone to Villa for £5 million in case you hadn't noticed.

surely thats because of his sterling work at chelsea rather than for us............


oh....


and,.......

GARETH Southgate will not increase his offer for Reading midfielder James Harper despite having completed the lucrative sale of Lee Cattermole to Wigan Athletic.

Boro have their valuation of Harper and are sticking with it.

It means that the stand-off between the two clubs will continue, with relegated Reading sticking with their reported asking price of around £5.5m.

always knew harps was better than sids.

LOL at you contradicting yourself.

Firstly, Sidwell's hardly played in the last year, so it can't have been 'for his sterling work at Chelsea'.

Secondly, that particularly article indicates that Boro don't think Harper's worth anywhere near Sidwell's fee of £5 million.

Oh and thirdly, there is a small difference between Chelsea and Villa and Middlesbrough. If he was to be a part of Boro's central midfield on a regular basis though, I would fancy them to go down.

[Royalee]

'Southgate would still like to sign the 27-year-old because he believes Harper would make an impact both in and out of the dressing room.'

Nothing to do with his footballing ability then...

Andy Hughes and Stephen Hunt are said to be good for dressing rooms too, why aren't they playing in the top flight?

Top....provided we dont lose more than one of our existing squad between now and midnight 31st August

[Platypuss]

Do you ever stop to consider that teams in the Championship don't have top quality strikers or midfielders? Using last seasons scores as some sort of evidence to suggest the side will struggle this season is frankly bollocks.

Do you ever stop to consider that the same players might not be as motivated to perform in the Championship? Using last seasons performances as some sort of evidence to suggest the side will perform as well this season is frankly bollocks.

Start as I mean to go on Well, I think, reading through the various posts, there's more positives than negatives and we'll go back up automatically.

We have a lot of the old PL squad; we have Mr Coppell; we have Mr Mad (who is, indeed, committed); and we have the fans.

Yeah.. well.. he could at least invest some money into transfers, he'll get his money back when he sells up

[papereyes]

royalee= dogshit
harps=average prem midfielder

ALOL

Then why aren't they queueing up for him like they were Sidwell?

Sssshhhhh

Playoffs should be reachable. I fear that our summer dealings are not yet over, though.

[Kes]

11-16th for me. With an ageing squad and no real pace in the team it's going to be a struggle this season.
