Irish plodders

[leww_rfc]

No Red cards in 291 games and 121 goals. Seems a class act.

[TBM]

I was disappointed to see he's not actually black

[manny96]

I think this is going to prove a good bit of business on our part, like I think Long's transfer will be on WBA's part.

Racist!

[Norfolk Royal]

Great idea for a new chant.

What about the theme from the Michael Caine film Alfie?

'What's it all about, Alffiieeeee?.

Could catch on. This is genius, could boom around the ground.

Would be over the moon with this, I'll actually stop moaning about finances for the foreseeable future. Don't let me down Reading board.

Look at the YouTube clip earlier in this thread. A load of miners sat in a bar singing his song.

Top drawer.

Signing 3 players is quite amusing really.

Every year it seems to me the same sketch gets repeated.

SJM - We have no money.

Manager - There is no transfer fund - we will make do with what we've got.

HNA STG mob - What a joke - we are going nowhere but downwards coz SJM is filling his pockets / has no ambition / isn't interested anymore etc. etc.

HNA RTGs - Don't panic - we do our business quietly. The club always say that, but we always do sign new players.

HNA STG mob - can't you fcuking read? SJM says there's a black hole - and all the transfer money is going to fill it. We'll sign nobody.

HNA RTGs - Ok, let's just wait and see shall we?

Edit: Oh and fair play FineRain!! I look forward to that

[leww_rfc]

Until we flog obita for 7 million.

But today is not about finances, if completed its a good signing and completes a decent few weeks of acquisitions.

@james777g Reading put an embargo on Alf speaking at the last minute. Apologies. We did mention it on air.

he seems to know at first hand everything as it develops. if he says it's done then i'll sleep well on that.

[Sir Dodger Royal]

The positive about this foreign geezer from Yorkshire is that unlike the Irish lads we may understand one or words that he utters.

Also if he can score in the six yard box then that is something we lack but defences in the Championship are generally way above Div 2 standard.

Although SDR may have to re phrase that comment having looked at our defence to date.

Real factsssssssssss

[leww_rfc]

He's english...
