We may as well pack up and go home soon if small clubs under soft embargo like Reading are able to sign players that good. It’s okay though as we still have Nuhiu How are Reading able to spend this amount of money whilst we seemingly aren't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 They seem to have come out of a 3 year cycle and are able to spend again. Just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watto Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Reading as far as I know are still under a soft embargo and are planning to spend another £8M , what is going on , they must be free to spend again surely? They've let 7 players go and brought around 5 in and from what I can gather haven't sold anyone for a fee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are making some pretty impressive signings though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on we’ve just signed a keeper that hasn’t played a first team game for 3 years, what more do you want? Take about ungrateful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Maybe they’re planning on selling their ground. Who knows. We’ve sold ours to pay for past mistakes. The option is now there for other clubs to make good/bad signings now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy logics Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 we really are falling behind the pack aren't we.... hopefully a couple of key additions in the right positions over the next 24hrs will freshen things up and see us look more competitive.

james o connor Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 It’s quite painful to watch all these crappy little sides signing quality players whilst we are still paying for the stupidity of previous inept management . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we need to sign more than just Hector, winger/forward is essential as is another CM. The worry for me is we spunk all our cash on Hector and can’t afford anyone else.

Decent ones as well, not just making up the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he would be quite a coup That’s the problem with us, people say we are top heavy with strikers, but what they mean is, we have too many strikers who have seen better days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beswetherick Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 IMO what we need in order of preference, assuming Hector signs... Priority CM LB Bonus Another CM ST (if Rhodes goes) Fox and JvA can leave permanently. Thorniley and Penney can go on loan — Iorfa can cover at CB and Palmer/Odubajo are ok at LB. Dawson or Wildsmith can go on loan in January. Don’t think we need another winger really — Odubajo can play there and we already have decent options in Reach, Harris and FF. Left-back is the priority after a CM for me. Palmer is doing a great job there but it’s not his natural position and I worry he’ll get found out against better sides. Lazaar made a difference as a quality, specialist left-back before getting injured. We have a good first XI and we’re only a few players from having a decent squad, let’s see what the next couple of days bring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
