+1 - but doesn't the URL tell you all you need to know?

[Royal Lady]

Report is up on twitter link though

[ZacNaloen]

Getreading website does that all the time to me, the story is there it's just a crap website

[Focher]

jesus christ you've all got yourselves in a right old state for nothing, the only official statement to come out of anywhere today was McDermott saying he was going nowhere and no more business was going to be done, but most chose to completely disbelieve that and believe that cunt Fordham and mindless totally unfounded speculation from the Leicester Mercury.

Typical typical modern day football fans as far as im concerned.

[Z175]

He spoke to Hammond. Kebe def STAYING

[Royal Lady]

Well this is where I got link from anyway

http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/

Reading director of football Nick Hammond has confirmed to the Reading Post that the club have had NO enquiries for Jimmy Kebe.

Rumours have been rife over the past 24 hours that the 27-year-old winger was set to quit Madejski Stadium
to Leicester in a £4 million deal.....

To be fair he is out of contract ala Long. and Leicester kept reiterating their interest.

Hammond saying no enquiries? Someone's bullshitting....

Tbf, how was McD to KNOW for sure that Kebe was going nowhere. If someone made a bid for him and he wanted to go - are you really saying that we would have made him stay? I doubt it. So, thankfully, it appears he's not going - but no-one other than Jimmy could be 100% certain of that.

ok so where are the Sven quotes, or members of his staff' quotes to confirm they want to sign him? We get quotes from our own manager confirming he is going nowhwere today and everybody appears to have completely ignored it.

Can't get that to load either.

[Hoop Blah]

£4m is a silly price and we'd be foolish not to accept it. The only down point is that it's so late in the window and we'll have to go out and get a loanee in as a replacement. Who that might be I've no idea, but if Hull can get the lad Brady then I'm hopeful we can find someone good enough to replace Kebe.

What about that young lad called Robson -Kanu as a Kebe replacement?

And spend the money where it's needed more, in defence or midfield?

That leaves us with 1 17 year old winger with no league experience as backup. Not enough in my opinion.

I thought Turd Grip told the BBC they had an interest lodged. Hence my bullshitting comment ....

No bids or no enquiries? The two are very different things.

You can't just sell a player because he wants to go, it doesn't quite work like that, if it did, whats the point in having any years on a contract? Im sure that BM spoke to Hammond and Madejski before he was quoted on getreading, and was told that whatever happened offer wise Kebe would not be sold.

From the BBC ...
1238: It looks like Leicester City's business for the window is not yet complete - BBC Sport's Simon Austin reports that they are still after a striker and their consultant, Tord Grip, told him that they retain an interest in Nikica Jelavic, Jimmy Kebe, Andy Johnson and Jermaine Beckford
