Row Z Royal Coppelled Streets Royalwaster royaldownunder if we were able to flog lita for 3mil and get mifsud in for a similair figure, could be worth it... Though I would find it hard to see us spending more than 4million on a striker (a strength area) and cutting too far into our mighty £10m warchest (which will probably be intact at the end of Jan!!).
Watson is another midfield gamble, but if we can get him at the right price, could be worth the risk?
I can say categorically that there is no £10million warchest - MrMad would pay out more than £10million if he thought it was in the club's interests.
And £10m is f**k all bearing in mind we need about 4 players with it.
Penny pinching will cost us!
...and spending £2.5m on players has really worked out for us so far, of course.
It's a fair point, but we hear all the time about our ambition and the money to match it and it's all a load of crap.
We're a small club thinking small.
How much longer can we get away with it at this level? Not long!
I'm just fed up with hearing it all the time, it's rubbish.
The budgets wont get increased here until we get bigger crowds and the expansion is on hold, so if we stay up this season we already need a summer of miracle signings to take us forward.
What is it we need or think we need?
Goal Keeper
Right Back?
Left Back
Centre Back
Central Midfielder
Right Winger (2?)
Striker - If we lose Lita, Doyle or Kits by the summer.
All on our budget!!
These are great times for Reading Football Club and it's supporters, but these times will just be happy memories if we don't push on, and with the peanuts we have and the lowly wage budget, I don't think we can hold out much longer.
