SPECULATION - Anthony Koura

[Linden Jones' Tash]

Striker, played for Nimes (l2) last season, on a free, competing with Pescara and Olympique Marseille.

Never thought I'd ever say this, but we can probably offer better wages and more stability than OM, (my other team)

Looks a decent bet for his age, ala Kebe

if hes lanky quick and funny

Marseille offer him a deal, Man City supposed to be interested with a view to loaning him to New York, and then there's a mess of a Champiosnhip club in Reading. It's a difficult one for the lad.

[maffff]

If his middle name is also Boubou, I'm in.

[Sutekh]

Isn't this the lad Arsenal are interested in, seem to remember last month something about Brian being hoping to land him on loan for a season after he'd moved to North London.

[royalp-we]

Yeah, same lad Arsenal were supposedly interested in. Apparently talks broke down.

[Lacoste]

Why's everyone calling him "lad" like you're all 50 and he's 12 and you know him?

[maffff]

He's a total lad this one.

[Linden Jones' Tash]

Marseille salary offer is low, but club project is interesting.

I reckon we might have a shout...

[Linden Jones' Tash]

Marseille are offering the same as other L1 clubs and lowballing at €25k a month - €6,250/week

Reading no longer being mentioned in the mix - Porto and Serie A clubs seem to have moved ahead

Probably why we're now supposedly looking at Muhren.

Shame the likes of Dack and Bradshaw have now dropped off the radar.

[royalp-we]

Attention now turns to Muhren or Matavz presumably.

I'd echo the above; I hope we do look closer to home at players similar to Dack or Bradshaw. Even Nicky Ajose would have been a bit of a prospect; but he's been snapped up by Charlton along with Lee Novak.

Strikers are a premium. Especially England based strikers. The type of striker we need is almost Assombalonga, but he would set suitors back about £6m - £7m.

So the reality will most likely be player from a second division foreign team, and/or the loan market.

[Maneki Neko]

[moo]

Propa lad. Propa nawty.

[Royal_jimmy]

Off to Nancy. Show some ambition and money Reading FFS. Stop being so tinpot

[genome]

Gotta love criticising the club when there is no evidence we actually bid for him

[tidus_mi2]

His goal scoring record isn't amazing either, people on here were treating this guy like he was the second coming of Christ.

[Royal Ginger]

He was overrated too.

[maffff]

Would rather have had Derek Acorah
