Expecting two to be announced today/very soon

[Brogue]

I’ve been burnt before saying it will be ‘today’,(that's why i've put very soon in the title) but I’m told it will be today. Put it this way - 2 are having medicals today. The expectation is they will be announced today.

A CB and a CF

Don’t know the names yet: trying to find out

Assuming the cb is that lad from Swansea but waiting for confirmation, and assuming cf is Keane. Let’s see

Will let you know

[Sutekh]

The other CB possibility is Benn Ward though I actually suspect he’ll move to Wigan.

In the perfect world (ie Reading had money) it would probably be him and Hale.

[Hound]

Nice. Would be happy with this

[Millsy]

Good work as ever Brogue.

Would be surprised if it’s Keane as he has never come this far south (other than to qpr on loan) just seems like an up north player.

I heard the same too. Both are well known, apparently.

Hope it's not Santos, seen some pretty negative comments about him.

Does anyone know how much money we actually have? Nobody knows the net worth of Rob and Todd, nor what investors since have committed.

We paid fees for Lane and Marriot, plus Ritchie will be on good wages. I get the feeling money is available for the right player, but with a general preference for cheaper options.

So perhaps it could be that Benn Ward lad if he is 21 and seen as high potential. Put it this way, Santos may not have a fee, but he could have higher wages and certainly won't have any resale value. For a permanent transfer, which is better business sense?

Would imagine Santos would be a loan to the end of the season, Swansea only bought him in the summer and neither club is sure on his fitness so a loan would make the best sense. If it is him of course.

MoM has gone back I’ve been told. Announcement soon

Brogue on fire today

Of course he may end up being rubbish but wouldn’t take too much notice on the twitter stuff

Swansea must have seen something they liked to sign him up and take him up a division

His fitness would be the big concern

[Brogue]

Update; ‘’Striker is a loan with a view to perm, CB medical will complete tomorrow…’’

CB is santos. And it’s a permanent transfer

In brogue we trust

[Hound]

Striker does sound like it could be Keane - any more info on that?

[Stranded]

Santos on a perm deal seems like decent business.

Loan with with view to perm for a striker suggests a player OOC in the summer, Keane fits that bill.

As long as he can a) get & keep fit and b) his legs haven’t “gone”.

And he no longer has pneumonia.

well i've still not had the name confirmed, but linkenholt royal might be due an apology from me as it's been suggested its Jonson Clarke-Harris who i poo poo'd earlier in the window as somebody not on our shortlist.

but in short i still don't know

[South Coast Royal]

If it is Will Keane (very well thought of in his earlier career and ex-Wigan so quite likely) it becomes a bit worrying that we are starting to be a bit top heavy with older players (see also Marriott, Ritchie, 2x Williams, Yiadom and possibly Santos) with Pereira, Wing and O'Connor heading towards their late 20s.

O.K. for survival at this level and possibly for a play-off push but not exactly building a potential Championship side.

Clarke-Harris will be 32 by the end of the season.

My thoughts too. We're not going after the young, hungry high ceiling types that served the SJM era so well.
