I know he's probably not as good as he was but isn't Nicky Maynard on a free this summer? Could do worse and might no be that expensive.

I'm not sure he'll cut the mustard......

A mate of mine works for Watford and he said they wanted to bring Chalobah in but wouldn't guarantee him regular first team football. He didn't say directly about wages but they'd been interested in bringing him in when boro and burnley took him on loan but he was too pricey. Chelsea must have reduc...

Sacked by burnley?!? I remember it slightly differently http://www.theguardian.com/football/2012/oct/12/eddie-howe-burnley-bournemouth more like that.

In reality I'm happy with Adkins but I'd like Eddie Howe as manager given the choice.

Mmmm ... I never thought Jobi lacked footballing ability. There's a reason he has spent all his career in the top two divisions. Weirdly he seems a player who, unaccountably, can lack confidence but I have never considered for a moment that he is lacking in the ability department. I don't want to s...

Obita was quality today for one so young and" playing out of position" he looked a class act in a very average football match. Jobi and Pearce at the end where class giving it some when the rest of the team seemed happy these boys where loving it! Great to see, they both lack footballing a...

I know he has had injuries but from a quick look at wiki he only scored 1 goal in 7 championship appearances. You'd think we'd aim a bit higher.

None of the quotes back up the article but the mail was right about the AZ takeover.

maffff Because I try to be rational, realistic and what I've heard doesn't cause alarm bells, unlike what a lot of others say. These sort of things back it up.

Why are you so anti-AZ/Nige, m9?

+1

Cureton's Volley Guthrie gave the ball away for one goal, and gave away the free kick for the other

But he isn't the current blame person! Get with the program. We all think HRK is rubbish.......

If we're talking about Williams then he is back in training http://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/article/williams-back-training-1156280.aspx Also, can you imagine this conversation. NA "Anton can I bring in Billy Sharp on loan?" AZ "Yeah sure. But you can't play Drenthe or williams" N...

He's about 5ft and looks about 12 nevermind 17!!!! He'd get kick all over the shop. He needs a season or two in the lower leagues to give him some experience before being thrown to the lions......

Anyone checked the trains back yet?!?!? Oh that's right there aren't any after 9.30. Rubbish!

Him and the Dunny monster in central defence.... pacey!!!

So the chief scout had nothing to do with those signings?

Yeah his scouting/signing of these where awful Doyle, Long, Kitson, Kebe, Alf, Legs, Roberts..... All transfers have some risk but when you work on the cheap you have to take big gambles, some will work out and some won't. Bentley could be worth a punt on a 3 month contract on the other hand might n...

Still available on a free. Part of my brain says, can play just off a striker and is a creative player. Give him a 3 month deal and see how it works out. The other part says big time Charlie who we should keep clear of.

For me I'd hope Adkins would sign a striker that could make the step up to the prem rather than one that failed to do so last season under his management.
