WoodleyRoyal its Chris Baird


READING and West Brom have shown an interest in Fulham utility man Chris Baird.

Could be. That is major. Majorly disappointing! :roll:

Chris Baird feels like a very 'West Brom' sort of player to me...

Thought he played well in the game against us at the Madejski and would probably take the drop so a live candidate I would have thought.

However, it's not meltdown time if it's him.

Can confirm that there is no interest from #readingfc in Fulham man Chris Baird - there was a while ago, but not now

Champ kind had a feeling it could be Danny Simpson....not exactly a 'marquee' signing everyones hoping for. you gotta think that whoever comes here (on a perm as reported) will be willing to play in the championship next year which he done previously with newcastle. still not a bad signing!


Would be very disappointed with that. Plus he wont want to be here next season.


im sure whoever we sign the majority deep down will be dissapointed. its not going to be anyone 'big' and cant think of anyone else at newcastle it could be (if the newcastle rumour is true) plus we've been linked to him previously

It's amazing how can confirm who we're not interested in but never who is in talks (before the red tops beat him to it). Still, that's heart-warming news.

I think it's a CB, and I'd still back Upson. Cheap, knows the club, right stage of his career, and we enquired about him in Dec.

Lol @ this. Chronic says we're on the verge of a major signing. McD says we're talking to a Prem club and the process is ongoing. Don't think it's time to get the champers out just yet.

If it was 10 years ago I'd be really excited.

With Debuchy in at Newcastle, Danny Simpson is a good shout.

Uninspiring and I doubt he wants Championship football next season. I can't see Arshavin either, not on a perm deal (unless there's a clause letting him go if we go down, as we suspect Caricco has)

Yes we were interested in him before.
Hasn't he got a broken toe?

Upson... right stage of his career,

You mean "close to retirement"?

Simpson would be the obvious one.


The three London sides have been linked with the right back as they are all searching for extra defensive strength and they all provide Simpson with a chance to be closer to his girlfriend who lives in London.
