Johnnyrotten Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 51 minutes ago, Zico said: pretty much sums Reading up, remember looking at their squad last season and thinking they could be dark horses if all these once decent players could still perform Tom Ince Shane Long Sam Hutchison Naby Sarr Andy Carroll Jeff Hendrick Scott Dann Junior Hoilett but they didn't, they got relegated Walcott is probably going to make no difference either Don't suppose the points deduction helped. After half the season, 23 games, they were joint 7th! Strange league, Luton and Coventry were 14th and 15th, Huddersfield bottom and Birmingham also joint 7th. Other than top 2 anyone could beat anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrotter Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Reading currently only 7 senior players on the books and just given pro contracts to 9 youngsters. Another points deduction on the way potentially as well. Walcott's been training with them, but won't be cheap or worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrotter Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Reading have had their transfer embargo reinstated today for not paying HMRC again this month, a few weeks after they settled the previous winding up order with HMRC. In the shit with 10 days to the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're taking the piss. Minus 10 points please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 27, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2023 On the verge of signing that geezer from Exeter, banged 15 in 38 last season. Made some decent signings to be fair, not sure how many I would take though. I still back us to improve between now and 1st September and we're already pretty good for the division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 BN article about the possibility of players leaving (Decberto in the frame for many) had me thinking that it would only happen if we made signings. Are all squad positions occupied now or is there any wriggle room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a telling sign was John and sadlier not making the bench on Tuesday, frees up 2 and then we all have in our heads what we need , a holding midfielder and a.n other, I think we would need to get rid of a striker before signing one.

Yeah 23 but 22 if Johnston out for the season if we don’t register him as a squad player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
