Snowflake Royal Agree, I have nothing to suggest he'd be more of a bit part in an injury crisis this season. And regular football abroad seems like a great option.

But the club know him and the deal offered best.

Presumably they wanted to avoid him leaving for free ...

skipper No stopping that

Especially if you don't put up a wall ... WTF?

Been pretty poor to be honest apart from the two goals ... very disjointed. Once again we were beaten by a simple ball over the top for first goal and 2nd was very Button'eque.

I'm really disappointed that we did not spend tons of money on huge contracts and signings as it might mean missing out on another points deduction later down the line! Very disappointing transfer window. Why get new owners if they're going to behave sensibly?

windermereROYAL When they choose Port Vale over us you have to think he prefers life up north.

Maybe we didn't really want him.

Let's hope he's the new Doyle or Long!

I personally blame Brogue for lulling Hunt (and the rest of us) into a false sense of security by announcing that deals with at least one winger and a striker were 'done' before they were truly done

Another reminder for me that we should be looking to the academy lads first to fill gaps not just crave signing average players from elsewhere That is surely the purpose of the academy, 1 or 2 a year stepping up to the 1st team squad at 18/19 with a view to being regulars at 20/21. It's why I'm not...

Pompey manager John Mousinho has confirmed no progress with this....thought it was a done deal? I think it's fair to say that Couhig is trying to weed out any leaks within his organisation and Brogue's source is in danger. That's what I was also thinking - maybe they were leaking false rumours to d...

Sutekh

TBM Popped down to the MadStad at lunch and think i saw him in the hotel

That’s Devante Cole.

With Brogue in the background looking absolutely stunned that he's finally signed!

Millsy

morganb So, Devante Cole - on, off, done, on hold?

Brogue has already informed us. Keep up with the real facttssssss mate

You know it makes seeeeennnnsssseeee

Snowflake Royal We're going to be getting this every transfer window for the next 5 years aren't we.

The new Robbie Fowler.

Brogue im told this is still on...

On or Done or D'on'e?

Waiting for Brogue to announce that it is Done.

Brogue Done

Are you winding us up or is your contact winding you up ... ?

Pepe the Horseman I liked it thought the co-commentator was decent.

Yeah much better than Dim Tellor.

morganb Confrimed he's gone to Charlton

Really liked him, but that's amazing business with one year left on his contract and signed on a free.

According to OS, Knibbs has gone to Charlton after all.

One thing on this, the Port Vale manager is Darren Moore who was Devante’s boss when he was at Doncaster so it’s probably not much of a surprise to see Reading lose out. Moore interviewed by BBC Stoke and states that whilst takes it as a compliment to be linked to such a good player there is absolu...

Stranded Article on Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan's deal has been updated - confirms it as a 2 year deal, which makes sense.

At 21 he's still very young - so still a lot of potential for improvement ... !
