Royals no closer to Griffin capture, Khiz not coming back

[ZacNaloen]

I always thought this was likely to happen after he brought his kids out for the lap of honour. Good news all round.

[Stranded]

Excellent news.

[bottom left hand corner]

Brilliant!!!!

[bigmike]

Now all we need is Zurab ans Messi and we will be flying

[jumpers for goalposts]

Another centre half and possibly a striker, and we'll be sorted. Although the latter may be solevd if Noel Hunt can stay fit, and that's a big IF.

[Gordons Cumming]

Finally someone to replace Murts.

Good news.

[TommyF]

At last, a player that the fans wanted and isn't being universally slated before playing his first (permanent) game for us!

Would be good to be able to give 20 game interviews to all new players to win the fans around (and would have avoided Cummings - though 20 minutes could have told us that one!)

Based on last season, a fantastic signing with superb experience. Will make a great captain if needed I'm sure.

Well done Reading.

[brendywendy]

top stuff,top bloke.
thats the full backs sorted.
maybe another CB, maybe another striker, but i wouldnt be suicidal to go with what we have currently

[Sarah Star]

So glad this has happened! It makes me more confident for the coming season now.

Hope his family settle in down here and are made welcome. That seemed to be the major sticking point rather than money.

[Thomas L'Heureux]

Really good news, can't wait for the new season to start.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

^ what he said.

[leww_rfc]

^ what he said.

+1

[Dirk Gently]

How long before he gets the Captain's armband? Would be an ideal candidate for it.

[Whore Jackie]

Superb signing. Favourite player since the White Pele.

[Wycombe Royal]

How long before he gets the Captain's armband? Would be an ideal candidate for it.

He would be but I think he is still behind Ingimarsson and Mills for it.........

[Still Hate Futcher!]

Superb signing. Favourite player since the White Pele.

You mean Jimmy Crawford?

[Tinrib]

Great signing, and a perfect foil for Jimmy - its no coincedence that Jimmys form vastly improved with Griffin sat in behind him.

Really happy - and yep - has my full backing for Captain duties this season.

[Jackson Corner]

Glenn Johnson may as while stay in Barbados. You've lost your place son, the silver fox is COMING!

[loyalroyal4life]

Best news of the summer, just what we needed. Try and get rid of cummings and cisse now and hopefully we can land kish

[East End Lady]

This is brill although I am a little concerned that on the OS he is quoted as saying it's nicer to be boo'd than cheered!!
