RUMOUR - Robert Beric

[Nameless]

I heard the club have a whole department, based in Nigeria, who work 24/7 emailing millions of bids for players, some of whom don't even exist ! The budget is more than our annual wage bill and answers the long standing question of where all the Premiership money went
It's been a massive success as all our fans talk about is how ambitious the club is with our attempts to buy Neymar, Puskas, Roy Race and Ashley Maddison ((the last one was a database mix up)

[dogzbollox]

French media are reporting Beric has agreed terms with ASSE, and will be allowed to leave if rapid Vienna are knocked out of champions league.

The American Society of Safety Engineers?

Career change huh?

I'd say it's more along the line of making an offer that they know will not be accepted, just like with gilfi, so then they can say they tried.

Exactly this. All good PR to appease the fans. Makes the owners look ambitious. If £4m is really there for a striker, you'll see us spend it or much of it before deadline day.. Clarke wants a striker and one or two others. The reality however will see us get a cheapo or loan signing.

Another journalist thinks Reading stand the best chance of getting Beric. No one has a clue.
@AlexHuber81: @emjaygreen89 if he will leave (or is allowed to) i think that reading is the nr.1

You mean like Jack Hobbs who conspiracy clowns were claiming was one such fantasy bid until Steve Bruce confirmed it had been accepted in a press conference. Of course we could have claimed he'd failed the medical if he came here but you'd soon run out of clubs willing to do business with you if you played that card too often.

Plenty of bids are simply punts to test the resolve of the selling club at a price (or simply rumours leaked by agents) but the notion the club make bids they can't afford, for players they've no intention of buying, just to appease gullible supporters is pretty daft.

Just saw a Mercedes with RB 500 number plate drive through town again

Make of that what you will

If people think not signing players is 'good PR' you wonder what their idea of bad publicity is !!

Some people just over analyse stuff.

Think you're being charitable there.

TRANSFER UPDATE

@ReadingFC 3 minutes ago

Robert Beric does (not) sign a 5 year contract with the Royals, pending international clearance.

Beric won't sign. This will go on and on and he won't sign, it'll be a transfer ploy and it'll be as interesting as a Slavoj Zizek article.

I'd agree with that? The joy of Slavoj is watching him wildly flail around while he's speaking.

[Platypuss]

Some part-time BHA fan changed Beric's wiki page to show his current team as St Etienne.
Sad beyond sad.

[genome]

Did you change it back to Reading?

[Lacoste]

RV source has just tweeted that Lyon have made a last minute offer that's been accepted. Medical tomorrow

Good grief people

Not sure if this has been shared or not but will post it anyway...

So basically the article is saying that Beric will move to St Etienne if they qualify for the Europa League, 1st leg finished 1-1, 2nd Leg is tomorrow night, they're expected to beat Malsami on home soil...

Glory Hunting Bastard....

So now we've got to cheer on another side? If he doesn't want to come can he just tell us to oxf*rd off already.
