Rumour - Karleigh Osborne

[YateleyRoyal]

All the talk of Rhodes, Sharp etc...we get some bloody unknown

Not really an unknown...a regular starter for a team in the division below....would you call Jordan Rhodes an unknown?

[muddyfeet]

would quite enjoy watching toys being thrown out of various prams if this is the only person we get in!

Sky Sports sources understand Reading are set to seal a deal for Brentford defender Karleigh Osborne.

The centre-back will be out of contract at Griffin Park at the end of the season and is consequently set to make a January move to the Madejski Stadium.

Brentford boss Uwe Rosler last week claimed Osborne had been offered a new contract and a 30 per cent pay rise, but the 23-year-old wants to play in the Championship.

Reading can offer Osborne the second-tier football he aspires towards and Brian McDermott's side are also in contention for a place in this season's play-offs

Osborne was last summer a target of League One rivals Charlton, but they did not meet Brentford's valuation.

thought Morrison was meant to be cover for Pearce and Gorkss

[muddyfeet]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

etc

[winchester_royal]

Yeah but this guy's from Brentford

This clearly signals the end of the Sean Morrison era at RFC. I remember the day we signed him as though it was only last year. Those were times of wide-eyed hope and innocence. So sad, but we must all learn to move with the times.

[muddyfeet]

if we dont intend to give Morrison a chance he was a completely wasted purchase

[who are ya?]

Welcome

[Barry the bird boggler]

He'll make 4 central defenders; Gorkss and Pearce are 1 and 2, Osborne and Morrison will be 3 and 4. You need 4 centre backs in a squad and they'll get a chance when 1 and 2 get injured/suspended.

bau. good to see we could have someone we were already targeting. no rash signings because we can.

[muddyfeet]

not as much as we need a number one striker

[Barry the bird boggler]

This is not confirmed as yet so it's still UR&G....
