Forbury Lion The Reading FC app just sent an alert, He's back until mid-January after signing a 4 month contract - could play 19 games

Excellent, should just about get match fit and ready to do a job for another team pushing for the playoffs by the end of his contract then.

PATRIQT Good news. Still very useful. I'm sure if he stays fit it'll get extended until the summer.


More like he'll go to another team again.

IF we're flying high and look odds on to be promoted (I did say IF) the chances of keeping him.

You're the one who brought AC into this, I was just commenting on AC.


True, fair point.

Well I still say AC isn’t coming to Reading


Coming back. Hopefully ready for Huddersfield on 1 October.

Good to have a local journo who's actually ITK and not just posting rumours.

As a starter we will get 19 games out of him - or 19 that he is available for. Help us get 8 wins out of that we will be pretty close to safe. Great news.

Probably after the international break is realistic for him to come in. obviously looking for a better offer in the January window, unlikely to be us I would have thought.
Happy he`s back.

Happy he is back, shame it's just until January but am sure that can be extended and gives both sides a chance to review things before the run in.

Sensible option and likely direct competition for Joao.

I reckon he will be involved on Saturday otherwise why not wait a little longer to sign him given its only for four months and the international break is coming up

That'll be 7 more wins than we managed last time he was here.

Ince said last night that they were looking to get him up to speed to be involved on Saturday, possibly of the bench but who knows maybe him and Joao up top.

Lack of options at this level prior to re-joining us suggests not. If he does OK here, I can see us keeping him until next summer.
