And you only have to read some of the comments on that piece to see what one of the big benefits of signing him would be.

Although it does descend into an HNA style bitch fest towards the end!

We could out-source our nobbing to our new Indian fans and use the spare time to kick back and drink cocktails?
Regardless of smart ass comments and the usual cynicism, I believe that we really should sign this guy up. Not only does he look like a decent player (still only 18), but also so many other benefits could come from this. New supporters are good.

Does East Reading even know we have a football club?

Youngster departs
Reading Football Club can confirm that Indian youngster Brandon Fernandes has returned home after a two-week trial at Hogwood Park.
Fernandes is an Indian youth international on the books of South Africa team ASD Cape Town, and Director of Football Nick Hammond said, "Brandon is a fantastic young man and fitted in exceptionally well while he was here.
"Him training with the group gave us a really good opportunity to assess him, and while we won’t be pursuing things at this stage, we’ll continue to monitor his progress.
"I would very much like to thank Mike Steptoe and everyone at ASD Cape Town for helping facilitate his visit, and we wish Brandon the very best of his luck."
oxf*rd

That means one of three things
1) We aren't interested
2) We want the attention deflected so we can sign him on the cheap.
3) Leicester have beaten us to him and we're trying to save face early.

4) He wasn't very good
There is a reason why no Indian player has ever graced the EPL. They're shite.
Should have signed him as a marketing tool.

Your first sentence is irrelevant

Leicester fans are claiming we made an offer but it was on the tight side. I wouldn't normally buy into that but that does sound just like us.

As I said the indian side of the rumour mill said we offered a million for him, which actually seems steep for us 
Million rupees?
