Not convinced we are in any way, shape or form an attractive option unless we're signing players on loan whose wages are covered 100% by their parent club. Ejaria going doesn't mean his wages are necessarily off the books, why would he have walked away from another 6 months of wages, we've either paid him a lump sum (unlikely given the finances) or will be paying him until he gets another club and if he does probably making up the difference between his old and new wage.

Sutekh Former Reading manager Veljko Paunovic has been sacked by Mexican club Chivas after a poor second season there. Sounds familiar.

Mr Angry In hindsight Ejaria (together with Aluko and Puscas) represented all that went wrong with the club over the last few Years; top money paid for an exciting prospect who didn't deliver and financially crippled us.
Hopefully with his departure the club has turned the corner of having over paid and under performing liabilities at the club, and can now move on, never to repeat the same mistakes again in the future.
All that is now needed is - of course - a new owner (and in all probability, hard on the heels of a new owner a new Manager).

AthleticoSpizz Aluko made a lot of sense, was pulling up trees for Fulham on a weekly basis.
A lot of money, but we were on our uppers
Just never worked out….
but yes to speak the bloddy obvious, and in hindsight, he was an expensive let-down

It made no sense. We needed a striker, so we paid over the odds for a flaking aging winger.

We've been through this before. On here, the general consensus when we signed him was that he was an over priced show pony and a pointless signing in a position of least need.

traff Looks like he is likely to join Argyle.
Should slow down their counter-attacking style nicely!
