Alan Partridge Unsurprising transfer, ticks all of Coppell's boxes, only thing I can't find is the Cork City reference!
Must say I would have liked to see Campbell-Ryce from Barnsley join, this would seem to end any (if there was any) interest in him, Also as mentioned I wonder if this is because someone has offered the £5million for Hunt or whether this is an insurance policy if that happens. Have to wonder as to why Coventry are selling their player of the season for £200,000?!
I thought he was fairly impressive in the home game, he works hard, tended not to stay wide, he wanted to get in the game and kept tucking inside to get the ball. Hope he does well here and good luck to him.

brendywendy Dont know why people would moan about this signing. Good,young,skilful, bargain
what would set your pulse racing then? An aging has been, a 5 mil player whod rather be in the prem?
Coppel knows the market, knows who he can get to improve and work to our system. And it works a treat. If you want otherwise may i respectfully point out youve got the wrong club

Not sure if that was directed at me or not, but I'm not moaning about the signing.
What I want to see is players signing for us that strengthen the first team and then we lose a fringe player and progress. I want to see players come in that look like their signings bought in to improve the side, hopefully with the aim to be able to the perform for us in the Premiership next season.
Tabb is a decent little player, but is he going to improve our side right now, or is he just replacing a squad player with like for like?

Smoking Kills Dancing Doe So what is his best position?
Good signing imo, typical Reading. Coppell's knows what he's gonna get from him. Will be interesting where he will fit into things. Still think people underate Hunt and if he leaves he will take some replacing.
If Hunt stays, Tabb pushing all our 1st choice midfielders would be great competition.
Now we just need a striker to do the same with Hunt/DOyle. Doesn't sound like that will happen, which personally I can't understand....

Well, go and read Steve Claridge's assessment.
A two footed midfieder, 25 next month, who is a good passer and scores a few goals...................he can play anywhere in midfield.
This sounds like a player we don't have right now and someone who stands every chance of not just making the team but improving it, too.

Scarface I think he's a player Coppell has fancied for a while and with him being out of contract, it seemed like a good deal. I'm not sure where Coppell thinks he can improve the team, apart from perhaps offering a little bit more effort and fight on the right wing as a replacement for kebe.
From what I've seen of Tabb, he's no more than a busy little player.

Because Reading would then have 5 strikers (not including Mooney or Church) if Lita gets sold then it changes the situation, as would selling Hunt.

Alan Partridge
Hunt to Wigan/Spurs/ whoever £5million
Lita to QPR - £1.3million
Maybe someone like Convey departs as well.

Um, when Lita is free in a few months, you think there's a club out there thick enough to spend more than £400,000 on Lita?

You mean a week after Sheff Utd bid £1m for him?!
by Ian Royal » 20 Jan 2009 12:50
Platypuss He's always struck me as a kind of Gooding type player - small, not quick but with a tidy touch and busy work-rate.
Would that be miles off?
by Ian Royal » 20 Jan 2009 12:51
Still reported as 7 figures everywhere and not denied by either club, in fact sheff may have confirmed. They are hardly likely to bid £1m without wanting to spend it. Anyone who thinks that is an idiot.DeathyBill Oddie's BeardDeathy Um, when Lita is free in a few months, you think there's a club out there thick enough to spend more than £400,000 on Lita?

The club announced a figure bid? Or the papers did the talking?
Sheff fans seem to thing it was a smoke screen to ease the loss of Beattie.
