Guest JamesSwfcOwl Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I don't know how much truth is in this but heard a rumour that we had enquired about Jobi McAnuff. Thoughts? Be a good signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgileBeastt Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 He's been released hasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) A few years ago he was a top winger at this level. He played in every single game for Reading in the 2012/13 Premier league season and also in 35 games for them last season which indicates his fitness, desire and injury record is good. He'd be a good signing for us on a free I'd say. He'd bring plenty of experience and some quality in. It'd have to be a shortish contract at 32 years of age but we shouldn't write people off with age, some of the most effective players we've had in recent years have been over 32. Plus as far as I can see he's not had any sort of major injury for the last 10 years, very impressive. If we signed him he'd be straight in the treatment room I bet.

goh Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Not totally unrealistic. He's still a 32 year old that's been axed by a Championship club - not out of our reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesSwfcOwl Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I think he's been released yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Would be good So no chance of it happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Experience and durability are key in this league and McAnuff has both. Is he a good crosser? If so then I'd pay his airfare home from whatever holiday he and the rest of our targets are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 http://hobnob.royals.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=122655 Reading forum here. Some details on thoughts about Jobi. They seem sad to see him go. Always a good sign and probably indicates we won't be in for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 They seem to think he's on 15-20k. Move on folks, nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronio Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 MM sign him. Deffo has the quality at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 He's decent but I don't think we'll signing another wideman. With Maguire, Maghoma, Antonio, Helan and Lavery all able to play there, I don't think the manager will see it as one of our priorities. If we sign five players, it's likely to be, a keeper, a centre back, a couple of midfielders and a striker. I suppose, if it's six it could be a winger, but it's more likely to be another forward.

Guest Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Would fit into our side , has the quality but also the wage demands that come with it I'd be delighted if we brought a player of his quality in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 They seem to think he's on 15-20k. Move on folks, nothing to see here. He may not be offered that again though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Sort of player that we should be buying. Lets hope it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 If we look at what's been said, Gray wants six players, Milan said five, maybe six. It will be five if Milan thinks he can get away with it. We know we are bringing in a keeper with Gray acknowledging that we're monitoring the Derby guy. Reading his twitter, it sounds as if we've already held talks. A back up centre back will be arriving, that's a given. There's an offer in for Hutch, this much we know, and both the chairman and the manager have gone public on Fryatt. None of those might come off, but we now know the positions we are looking for, bar one. That's all we are talking about, just one remaining player and so far, nobody from the club has given any indication of who it might be, and what position they might play. Gray the other day, said we have offers in for several players. As I said, I wouldn't mind McAnuff down here, he can play down the left, or more central, but I suspect we might go for another central midfielder or even a forward.

Bluesteel Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Keeper, centre half x2, central mid, left mid, striker I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
