[genome]

The Daily Fail have picked it up

[rfc58]

In fairness the rumours are enough to deserve their own thread.

Would love Petric but it does strike me as being very short-termist, and to me would suggest Pog is off.

If he did sign, it could be similar to the Roberts scenario, will do a job to get us promoted, allowing our network of scouts to find the longer term answer to keeping us up.

[jellytot]

The Mail are going with this; see the BBC gossip section. I think we need him and at least another striker. Presume that the Pog is off and perhaps someone will poach ALF.

[W&E Royal]

He's only 32. Why do Reading fans write people off so soon. Trevor Morley signed for us at about 34 years old and we got 31 goals out of him in 76 games at Championship level.

[jellytot]

Agreed! Also remember Jimmy Quinn? We signed him when he was 33 I think and he went on to score a load!

Everything gone quiet on this one. Probably another lazy rumour.

Signings aren't completed during bank holiday weekends bud. Chill.

Are you hoping this one will happen also?

[winchester_royal]

I'd like to see us bring a player who will make the difference in the final third. I'm long past caring who that might be. I'm sure we'll have a few options in mind and will be making moves in the next couple of days. This is where the market really gets going.

[SpaghettiHoop]

Reading are considering reviving interest in former Fulham striker Mladen Petric, 32, who is a free agent.

Come on. Hammond will offer £5.50 pw and a sack of potatoes. He will go else where.

Can't offer less than £6.31 - per hour.

[Simon's Church]

We could if we made him an apprentice, then £5.50 would be rather generous.

You can't?

Petrić appears to have decided which club to join and it will be announced in the next few days.

[l0y4l R0y4l]

It won't be us then..

I don't see Reading airport on that list.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Could be a connecting flight
