"At the same time, prices in January, especially if looking for a forward, are very often over-inflated and the market is never simple with every single club hoping to improve their squad, and goalscorers always rated at a premium."
"The manager does have some funds available, but at the same time he has described prices as 'phenomenal' and that may well prove prohibitive in a search for an attack-minded player."
"The club sold Gylfi Sigurdsson last summer, with the vast majority of that money covering the shortfall after our £12million Premier League parachute payments came to an end. The shortfall would have been larger save for a successful FA Cup run, and that run helps enable the manager to have some funds available."
"We're so, so close [with our performances], and I know people will be fed up of listening to me saying that, but that's how I feel and I won't change that view."

As for not making a significant signing in January this can not be a great surprise to anyone really. We need a goalscorer and they are the most expensive type of player. if any proven ones are available there will be a number of Clubs in for the player, most of which will be prepared to bid more than the sort of money SJM will make available so we are a non runner.
What worries me even more is that I cannot see why the situation would change in the summer. In fact presumably the Club will be looking to raise money from sales once again making it a very worrying time for Reading fans except those that judge the Club on its balance sheet rather than it's league position.

blueroyals Massive WTF on this one, the club stated we had a £4m short fall at the start of the season now they're saying £12m needed to be recovered? the fact is when you consider sale of players plus high earners being released we probably have about £2m to spend. that's enough to buy a decent championship striker.
