3 year deal discussed and advanced stage. 31 year old CM. I am thoroughly whelmed but indicates that both Cleverley and Gosling aren't being renewed. https://theathletic.com/4624145/202...d-reading-transfer?source=user-shared-article
That’s more like it! None of this Cho Gue-Sung and Styles nonsense. Proper proven championship players in their thirties is exactly what we need.
Horrible little ***** and a **** player. Also means that we're likely to have his dad come in to manage us at some point next season.
Makes perfect sense, as Paul Ince will be our next Guv’nor in October. Played 38 games for a poor Reading side and scored 9 goals. He always does well against us too.
This is an Ashley Fletcher level singing - utterly pointless and going to hamstring us for years to come. Too much good news over the last week or so. Back to the usual banter stuff from Gino.
Celebrates like a bell end in front of the Rookery so might as well be after he's scored for us for once.
That's a decent return in fairness for a midfielder. What positions does he mainly play? I had him down as a wide forward type?
Hmmm. Not sure. Has a lot of attitude and Ego. Have an impression of him being a whining little cheat. Always hated him playing against us though If that attitude works out as passion to play for the team and club then might be good. More likely is this is a final paycheck, he wont do whats asked and will feign injury into retirement after swearing at the fans
Only ever gets a game if his dad is managing him. I suspect his goal return is reasonable because all Reading MFs and forwards are instructed to pass to him rather than shoot.
He’s a very versatile player and a good squad option if the finances are right but 3 years would be mad.
3 year contract for a 31 year old ex Luton player who also happens to be a total ****** Fits the Manga model
Up there with the players I hate the most. Thought he was completely over the hill but seems he got 9 goals for a really poor Reading side last year. Was he on pens or something?
Get Styles and the Korean in first, then get Ince as backup. Bit of balance in squad then, we have the great vs the crap.
really surprised by this link - but he does well in the Championship ... but 31 and a 3 year deal, have we learnt nothing
I’m not as mad as a lot of you seem to be. We’re bog-standard Championship fare now; this is the sort of quality we should be expecting.
I’m actually a little surprised how much negativity there is around this. Sure he’s an odious toad, but 8/10 goals from a midfielder would be a good return. He’s a regular goalscorer and assist maker at Champ level. I think he’s an upgrade on the tat we currently have in midfield and would be a low cost signing.
When he played for Blackpool he always scored against us as well. He's surely an upgrade on Kayembe and Gaspar.
Better than what we have? Yep. 9 goals for a side relegated is a very good return I think people are against him because he's a bit of a ****. 3 years though sounds plain stupid 1 or 2 years then I'm in
Watford fans "Hey Gino can we have some players the fans can really get behind?" Gino "Sign Tom Ince"
