Westfield Owl Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Good bit of business to get Joao sold for a fair price. A bit of a shame that the seven-figure payment that the club received from Reading hasn’t yet been reinvested into the squad. Fingers crossed that we’ll use that transfer fee to bring in some new faces in January though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Down South Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 No surprise whatsoever - I could never quite understand why so many people on here seemed to really rate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Cash wise good deal for us and him. From a footballing perspective Reading how was that ever going to improve his career. Only positive close to Heathrow for flights and shopping in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve do you mind taking part in a little Owlstalk survey ? Some of us @Lord Snooty especially are getting confused as to where they are based Do you actually live down south ? Or is your name Steve a reference / pet name to the old chappie (down south).. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was like a perky pair of knockers in a push up bra. There were flashes, glimpses of what might be. But all too many times it was a bit cold and the cardigan went on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, actually live down south, junction 9 of M1. Still miss Sheffield, looking forward to a trip home this coming weekend, but will miss out on Bristol City game thanks to Sky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwellOwl Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 A great deal and we are not missing him not being in the squad. Best of luck Reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cognacbarnowl Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 It'd be a lovely bit of business if we bought him back for 350k and GM managed to unlock his potential and make him into a lethal striker for us. FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far too coincidental that two blokes on a message board know so much about ironing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 He is talented, but he doesn't have it mentally to be a top player. If he applied himself consistently, you would be looking at a top Championship striker. Instead, you get a bloke unplayable on his day (often as a sub), but then will go completely missing for the next 3 matches. We did well to get what we did.
