Cash in on: Rafael Moore Swift Joao Might not have a choice with Olise but let’s see. Combine transfer income of around £20 million for those players, without Olise. Then include the wages being saved with those out of contract and are not retained. If there was some money available, strengthen posi...

Square the damn ball!

James and Hamer are not afraid of a tackle/tactical foul

This looks as strong as possible with injuries considered. Think we are great value at home in the betting tonight, unlike above I fancy Olise to have an absolute baller of a performance tonight. (Not at all in my scorecast bet lol)

Next thread....

Things should get a lot better after this season - its just hangover from Gourlay's horrible reign Once Baldock and Aluko go, thats a huge amount freed up. We've loads of sellable assets now if needs be I suspect we'll go on another contract upgrade round in the summer - the like of Rino, Laurent, ...

We have to accept we are still feeling the effects of poor financial management over seasons. With Olise and Richards their contracts should of been a priority at the beginning of last season. It’s a shame but Bayern are getting a possible £12 million plus player on a free and in 18 months/2 years t...

The fact is IF Olise has a reasonable buy out clause in his contract he will go in the next week or so, clubs will not risk Reading being able to negotiate a new contract with him. He is being played here and if he made a move he would be on the fringes or loaned out. Swift would be the player I wou...

There is a reason to get excited here, with those offloaded already, loans coming to an end and those out of contract, coupled with the likely departures of swift and Moore the club will save in excess of 150,000 a week with those wages off the book. If fees recouped stretch up to £12 million plus, ...

Siggy told he can leave..... get the bid in Dai!

This will get shot down in flames but with this system I would be considering Gunts on the bench. Would fit in a 3 at the back and more than competent in filling the wing back positions.

We are 11/4 to finish in the top half! I think that is great value!

When you were wrong
And your heart said we were going down
You used to say live and let die
You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But in this ever changin club
In which we support in
Makes you give out a cry
Say Live and Dai Yongge
Live and Dai Yongge

*cue crazy dadada chants

I don’t think there will be many complaints after this week of the transfer business of a team who had their own self imposed ‘soft transfer ban’ if we sign Rafa, a striker and a midfielder....

The pressure will be on José to make sure this team performs.

Must say the heavenly sausage stall was extremely good value and some of the best street food I have ever tasted.

How many years ago did he leave us? Must of only been 16/17

You can see the frustrations growing... depleting squad with no further signings seemingly close. Couldn’t blame Jose for leaving if he was misold the challenge here.

Players of Oliveria’s quality do not come about too often on a free, as Norwich released him from his contract earlier today. £1 million wages a year is not a lot (around £20k a week). Shame because he was a focal point when he played, nibbled at defenders who clearly didn’t like getting too tight t...

Roy Walker would at least bring chips to the mad stad

Shame as he could be a cheap but v effective first teamer going forward, the contract buy out clause is supposedly quite cheap
