Rumour - Johnny Russell

[John Smith]

With a plethora of riches to choose from, not least Nick Blackman and Matej Vydra, Derby forward Johnny Russell is looking for first team opportunities in Berkshire with the Royals.

Available for £4.5m, he would become the record signing. Would you all be happy with this?

[NewCorkSeth]

He's not really great at the old goal scoring is he.

[Hound]

nope. is this actually a rumour?

[Oilroyal]

No ta

[Sutekh]

Presume this is just idle speculation rather than a rumour, Russell is player you like to have in your team as he's the type that makes a complete nuisance of himself all over the place. He's also the type of forward that should appeal to Reading in that he is on a run of 1 goal every 21 games (it's actually 1 in 4 over his league careers both and south of the border).

[Royal_jimmy]

I don't think we should be signing players from Derby right now

[Royal Ginger]

Propper footballer's name though.

Propper footballer's name though.

Johnny Mullins was the most footballing name I've seen.

[Super Kevin Bremner!]

Good player, would be a hell of a signing.

[Nameless]

I'd rather have Jack...

[Hendo]

Propper footballer's name though.

Johnny Mullins was the most footballing name I've seen.

Steve Brown for me.

All about the one syllable names.

[Hound]

I think the first name has to end in an 'i.e.' or 'y' to be honest. Ideally with a one syllable surname

such as Dixie Dean, Jimmy Greaves, Tommy Smith etc

George Evans is prob the best proper footballer we have I reckon. John Swift isn't too bad a name, but he is far too coiffured

[Jim Royal]

I'd rather have Jack...

I think you're barking up the wrong tree here.

[Who Moved The Goalposts?]

Logic dictates I'd rather have Bertrand
