In @getreading 2moro, find out the big #readingfc player who could be on the move and the #lirfc player set for a surprise start on Sat.

What a terrible piece of journalism and shows up how shabby using twitter can be.
The tweet implies a player could be leaving, when in fact what we get is an "interview" from Adkins (though more likely his response to a verbal question along the lines of "Do you fear losing a keeper in the Window?") where he states the obvious.
Have there been any bids for either keeper? No, otherwise there would have been a hint of that in Adkins' response.
So basically, this is a totally speculative puff by a local journo trying to drum up interest in his crappy little local rag. Frankly, he may as well publish some of the speculative threads that crop up on this forum and be done with it.I'd wager that unless a mid-table or lower Prem team suffer a goalkeeping injury between now and Feb 1st, neither of the 2 keeper's will leave the club this window.

Or you could look at it from a different angle and see a manager who wants to hedge his bets in case the takeover doesn't happen and needs to sell before he can buy. He then realises just about our only asset that will cash in significantly is McCarthy and does an interview saying he expects to receive a bid/bids; in an attempt to drum up interest in the player.Mr AngrySPARTA @jonathanl50

So Madejski has already forgotten that he assured Dellor, more than once, that there would definitely be funding available during this transfer window?
That's the trouble with old age and/or selective memory.
Once again it's starting to look like the talk will be lacking the walk.

If I wanted my team to play the passing game right from the back, it wouldn't be McCarthy. All the talk about future England keeper is pure fantasy unless and until he learns to kick the ball properly with both feet and significantly improves the speed and accuracy of his distribution.

Barry the bird boggler At least another 2 weeks of absolutely nothing happening at Reading on this front (and very probably transfers as well) to go chaps.
Might as well get some sleep or go on holiday for the duration. It'll certainly beat watching that pathetic shower for a while.

surely all he'd have to do is just roll the ball out....
