EP Spaculation - out of contract strikers

by Sutekh » 05 Sep 2016 08:13

EP filling up space with aimless speculation over out of contract strikers that could be signed by Reading after the window but won't be...

Miroslav Klose
Dimitar Berbatov
Emanuel Adebayor
Niklas Bendtner
Marouane Chamakh
Antonio Di Natale

Would not sign any of them- would rather get an up and coming youngster who we can coach ourselves.

Just seen that Klose was on around £8000 a week plus bonuses at Lazio. He would fit into that role nicely.

I would seriously consider Klose one 1 year deal. Still scoring at a high level last season.

Di Natale was allegedly on £9,615 per week, plus bonuses.

One of my favourite 'silly season' discussions this one, Klose would be the pick of these players we definitely won't get. I do like to think we might have more of a chance with Jaap as manager, but these are still never going to happen.

I would love it if agents started listing players like this on https://www.myvouchercodes.co.uk/ - buy one, get 30% off your next Lazio order.

As the OP mentioned, this was filling column space. I'm not even going to waste my time entertaining the unlikelihood of Dimitar Berbatov coming to the Madejski.

Whilst it's obviously stupid and he'd probably be a complete flop, I would immediately buy a season ticket and wet myself in excitement (despite feeling a total sell out) just to see Miroslav Klose play for Reading.

oxf*rd the others.

Pretty sure Berbatov played with Stam in that charity match in the summer. With that in mind I can confidently say that he will be joining us any day now.

Klose would be incredible.

Don't fancy the others, but I think it's fair to say none of these will happen.

Bentdner to Forest

Blackstock to Rotherham

If we don't sign any of the free agents, at least we might get a chance to watch them put one away against us.

Dexter BLOLackstock.

Klose or Berba or Di Natale would've been top draw but can't see it happening.

Cant see these happening, Stam's said anyone coming in won't be to replace what we've got, and the only ones there I'd want are far too good to be bench warmers compared to Kermy and Mendes.

It's closer to a done deal but not there yet.
