CONFIRMED - Mariappa gone to Palace

[Royal Rebel]

Gone.......

[melonhead]

If this is all money to add to the gylfi fund then hoorah

[blueroyals]

That's £4-5m to spend today then....

[Barry the bird boggler]

Hardly, obviously out of favour with Adkins and started 1 game this season which was a 6-0 defeat. Really going to miss him.....

[royalstu]

Something has to be lined up, its obvious he didn't want to be here.

Maybe we have a loan coming in, with Pearce/Morrison the main CBs.

[YateleyRoyal]

Karacan has just tweeted him goodbye.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Driven by the player rather than the club I suspect hence him not playing.

Bit of a bummer as he was our best CB IMO but if he doesn't want to be here then wise to move him on. Clearly a bit of a mercenary though as he'll be pulling the same trick next year when they go down!

[LoyalRoyal22]

So did Mapps ask to leave so we left him out the squad.. or did Nigel not rate him and he asked to leave because he was not in the squad. Which way round?

Gutted to see mapps leave! Wish him all the best at palace.

well thats disappointing...now all we have is the pearce/morrison partnership with gorkks as a backup.

Kelly can play centre back and we could recall Hector.

Not an issue, I'm sure we could recall Hector.

[URZZZZZ]

Il put my house on it that he will be in the championship next season along with kebe

I have total faith in the club to make a signing today to shore up the defence.

There is no way they'd be dumb enough to sell one of the better players without a lined up replacement who's equal or better in ability.

In Reading we trust.

Would much rather see him given a chance and spend the full £5m on a striker

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

im thinking more long term though, we need some cb's who could be prem quality correct? now we only have 2 instead of 3. hector could be good in the prem but there isnt any way of knowing and gorkks is well past it. ive never seen kelly play cb so if he can truly play then were not in as much trouble as i thought.

[Gordons Cumming]

I'm not so sure....................

[YateleyRoyal]

Merge with R&G thread...

Would be interesting to find out
