Official Deadline Day Thread......

[themadstad]

Slightly off topic, but what a fcuking legend Brian Mcdermott is. Could quite easily listen to him talk all day. Hopefully him and Darragh will get together after the show and knock out a deal for Taylor. Seem to get on well enough.

Yeah but wrong chairman as isn't Marcus Evans Ipswich chairman? Not sure they'd sell Taylor though.

I hope Brian hasn't booked this medical and nothing comes of it. I can't stand people wasting the time of the NHS

As already mentioned, the Spire is a private hospital.

Exactly. He is the most down to earth manager and truly deserves all he has got.
Angers me that all people got out of that show was "omgz we gona sign sum1 tomoz guys!", whatever happens I know that this club is in good hands.



Or McDermott's a bloody good liar

[maffff]

Both.

[Madstad to Nadderud]

Probably Dave Kitson coming back.

[Upper West Ginger]

Probably Dave Kitson coming back.

Unlikely - he's far too busy writing his "Secret Footballer" column for The Guardian.

[Lacoste]

I heard something about Jermain Jenas coming to us today. Probably bollox but thought I would post it anyway.

Tidy player for a season or two I suppose.

[buddy1983]

Going to Sunderland

Interesting...never thought of Kitson as the 'Secret Footballer'. Have you read the book as I was just having a look at some of the reviews? If so, any good? I was thinking it might be Collymore due to the bit about depression...but who knows?

Wonder why on the last occasion he provided a name but this time didn't? Last time we heard the Pog rumours then saw him come in.

The Pog went to Spire on the 20th, but as has been pointed out medicals are two-part things, and the second part took place at RFC on the 21st.

I provided a name for the Pog because as you pointed out on the 19th he came to the UK, then my fam member at Spire told me that evening that Reading were bringing someone (witholding their name) in for a medical. I didn't 100% know it was the Pog but it wasn't difficult putting 2 and 2 together!

The only reason his name was withheld, was because no one at the club could spell it!!

Any leads on today's medical?

apparantly Yossie Benayoun is being linked with a loan move with 2 premiership clubs reported to be interested wouldn't be a bad signing for Reading if it happened.

Zaha or Benayoun? Zaha all day long. Benayoun wouldn't fit the RFC mould.

Wouldn't mind that, could do well with Guthrie and him in midfield.

[Royal Rebel]

Be surprised if we buy anyone, sadly.

McDermott on SkySports last night:

"Having said that, sometimes on the last day of the window something just pops up and we think 'we can do that deal'.

"I'm really happy with the squad I've got - we've got a stable club and that's why we've been successful - and I'm happy with how we work. But something might come up on the final day, you never know."

[The Rouge]

He tried to do something yesterday which didn't come off..
