Archie's penalty Signing people like Drenthe/Bridge shows that Reading have long term plans to stay in the prem.


I am sure they weren't wanting to get promoted to come str8 back down :roll:

Archie's penalty
southbank1871 If only we'd already signed a left-back.


We lost two in the summer, didn't we?


Thought we lost 3... Joseph Mills?

How many more of these pictures will we see? SJM's time as the club's "meater and greeter" must be coming to an end

If we keep everyone then probably not too many others. Another attacking midfielder would be handy but not essential. Probably a striker if we're playing 2 up front.

This is the championship don't forget.

Team

McCarthy

Kelly Pearce Maps Bridge

Kebe/HRK Akpan McAnuff Caricco Drenthe

Pog/ALF

I reckon we'll go for attacking midfielder if we get promoted, much easier to attract that sort of player in the premier league I presume.

It is not so much who we need, but who we do not let go. If HRK & Pog stays our team will be phenominal for the Championship, though of course, Gylfi would be the icing on the cake.

Kelly will cover left-back, so we're done in defence.

Two strikers, and unless we lose anyone unexpectedly, I think we're looking good!

Guthrie and Karacan more likely than Akpan and Carriço?

Replace Pog with a top quality striker.

After that I don't think we 'need' any more signings, a few younguns with potential, to compete for the bench, might be useful.

If Carrico is fit i assume he will be first choice in the midfield. Hope so.

I keep seeing Kelly placed at right-back but Adkins favours attacking wing-backs, hence Gunter getting a lot of game time at the end of the season. Kelly will be cover IMO. Fulham's biggest criticism of Kelly was he never got forward enough, and that wont suit Adkins style.
