Why do Reading fans have the collective IQ of a used condom?
On the one hand we have people complaining that we got no one when it's still early days - we can't be sure we haven't signed anyone, and there's also the loan window.
Even more bizzarely on the other hand we have those who assume we havent gotten anyone and are defending it like it's completely normal and acceptable. I trust these people will suddenly go wild with excitement and confusion and start complaining if in the next few days it transpires that we actually spent £10million on 2-3 top players? No of course not, because these brains of Britain surely were lead to believe the same as the rest of us: that we would be strengthening the squad significantly before the close of the window.
That is clearly the problem: what we have been lead to believe. I'd be quite happy with the club saying last season "we need to put our resources into cat1 academy, we won't be buying any players, we just need to build over the next few years etc etc". I think most would accept that. But to be told about 100goals in a season, bouncing back first attempt, strengthening the squad with 7-8 players only to have a net gain of just one good player (after losing two of our stars) just rips the piss IF it is the case hat we got no one.
There will always be those though who think its big an clever to go against the grain of the bleeding obvious, sit on their high horses and pretend this is acceptable and that anyone else is being a big girl's blouse. I'd love to see the reaction of these mongcretintards to 'unexpected' signings if they appear.
