Just mentioned on BBC South sport that the fee was 5.5m. If so, even better deal than we thought.

Good decision to name the stand after him. Maybe there was a problem with the FA re-naming the academy after him, I don't know - but happy his memory has been remembered this way.

He is 6ft 2 in tall and can also play as central defender. Have we given up on Tyler Blackitt from Man Utd? Maybe he is his replacement.

Doubt we could afford a fee for him, unless we get him as part of a deal to take Cooper to C.Palace.

we already have one 30+ old striker, rather we went for a younger guy.

Had a conversation yesterday with someone who said the club are to get a windfall from the EUR 2016 Tournament. Apparently each club who have a squad player who represents their country at the tournament, will receive 7000 euros a day for each player whilst their country is still in the tournament. ...

According to Sunday papers, Norwich have agreed a fee of £2m for Tshibola. Surely he must be worth more than that, and I would rather get rid of Williams , Norwood or Quinn before letting the youngster go.

Manig, Lam and Onana have already been mentioned as new signings for Stam from the Dutch leagues.

SJM sounds like a bitter old man His comments were totally out of place.

I will start the ball rolling with the names of new signings.
New winger called Queensy Mening from Fc Zwolle ex Ajax youth age 20.
New central defender Tomas Lam from FC Zwolle ex Ajax youth age 22.
New GK Andre Onana from Jong Ajax age 20.
Anyone else any knowledge of signings that Stam will make.

he is Swedish, and if he has got over his injury problems would be a very good signing.

heard that there has been a big increase in free under 7 ticket sales, which will make the mid week match atmosphere somewhat muted when the kids are all tucked up in bed.

Also Reading BC have concerns regarding the density of the buildings, as it appears too much is being squeezed into the space.

Interesting that the club have not stated how many tickets have been sold. What are they trying to hide?

optimistic we will be relegated

Not sure he would be a good buy, as he is not consistent enough. If the club is to spend that sort of money (big if) they could buy 2/3 decent players for the sums mention.

heard that Stam is likely to walk away, as he is not happy with the transfer budget offered.

Got a feeling Jaap Stam is not going to happen. Supposed to have been in discussions all last weekend, would have thought we would have heard something by now.

RIP ReadingFc Stand
