January Deadline Day thread.

Nigel Howe is sat with Nicky Hammond at the hotel, so we're working on 'something'

do they have a special 'working on something' seat in there alerting you to this? are they not allowed to work on something anywhere else? are they only allowed to work on something when sat in that chair? they can't just chat about anything else?

[Winston Smith]

::Nicky Hammonds knocks on Nigel Howe's office door::

"Hi Nige, I wondered if I could chat to you about....."

"FFS Nicky! The seat, the f*kcing hotel seat!! I have told you about it enough times, I am not discussing business here in my office!"

According to The Guardian:


Here’s a quick line from Dominic Fifield:

Julian Speroni is likely to join Reading on loan from Crystal Palace. They’ll take Rob Green from QPR until the end of the season, all being well.

Was about to phone the mrs to check if I need to pick anything up for dinner, may as well call Charles Watts to ask him instead though.

As they have done for a few windows now. A lot of teams also use FM for scouting as its actually a valuable tool.

Cooper to Palace........

Cooper to Palace........

He'll go to Chelsea instead and then they'll loan him back to us, and he'll come back with a billy-big-bollocks attitude.

[tee peg]

its the Reading way.

[CountryRoyal]

Think our squad is good enough for now depending on departures.

Good enough for what?

Good enough to consolidate mid-table and potentially make a late playoff charge if everything clicks.

The unlikeliness of the latter wouldn't really necessitate any drastic changes to the squad, especially considering half of them will be off in the summer anyway.

Re speculation;

Williams off would be gutting but not the end of the world imho. Speroni in would be great - fantastic shot stopper. I'd still rather have McCarthy though.

[CountryRoyal]

Cooper to Palace for £5m + McCarthy then yeah ok

Brendon Daniels is attracting interest from #readingfc

bit of a random link, but is a very reading type signing so may make sense a quick look at his wiki 22 year old Harrogate town winger 12 goals in 17 !
