ok I am a big enough man to admit when I am wrong we have produced a lot of talent. I was just talking of the times when we bought young and up and coming players like Doyle, Long, Sidwell, Shorey, Leroy Lita, Adam Lefondre. players that have there best years in front of them rather than behind them...

Leeds have confirmed Warnock is having medical with derby and deal should be concluded tomorrow, guess we are out of that on (source skysports transfer news feed)

linkenholtroyal hahaha ok yes but that's 5 players over the last 6 seasons (if you count hector) that are first team regulars without injuries to the squad.
less than 1 a season and wheres McCarthy now.

'6 players 5 seasons' * sorry

True but they never usually get a chance unless its due to necessity (i.e. injuries)

was just saying from what is floating round online its not exactly young hungry and exciting players..... we've got plenty of young and hungry players in the academy.... it would just be nice to be associated with some young exciting players from the lower league, rather than players that are past ...

according to online and press we are looking to sign
will keane 22
st ledger 30
Warnock 33
maynard 28
travner 29

average age nearly 29
other than will keane there not really young up and coming players really that will do a job for a few years.

linkenholtroyal sounds like Pav could even teach him some lessons on scoring

I take back what I said he has been reasonably prolific at youth level and in reserve leagues for united so may be worth a punt

the press have mentioned St Ledger twice now in passing once on Charles Watts Wednesday chat and today in defenders reading should be looking at ( http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/five-defenders-reading-fc-should-8433072 ) do the press no something we don't know and has there...

Anybody think Kevin Doyle is worth a punt he's apparently being returned from palace, one. 30 odd year old for another

Isn't he about 26? He's played at a very low level in comparison to the Championship and not really made any headlines. It's a bit of a punt isn't it, but then we can't much else I suspect. I believe he is 29 just hope he's not another Wayne Bridge a few games then sitting in the treatment room for...

Has just been confirmed on Reading fc website http://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/article ... 99057.aspx
good luck Shaun never really got a proper chance

who do you think is genuine then???

I will ask him when I see him. Will also see if he had his wires crossed with Maynard. Then again he may be a liar but I felt it was worth putting out there what I had heard

It was a rumour that I heard from someone who is friends with someone important at the club. It is a rumour I have no fact to back it up and I was just seeing what everyone else's opinion of this rumour was.

He always does well for wales when he appears, so I wonder whether it is just finding the right manager to get the best out of him. don't get me wrong i'm not his biggest fan, He may just need a run in the first team to find his potential and position.

Better than nothing which may be the other option

I have Heard there is a possibility Alfie could make a shock return if we are willing to pay Cardiff what they paid for him back as he has not settled in Cardiff and they have just bought revel. anyone else got any thoughts on this???
