Mention on Twitter (is that your account Brogue?) that we have enquired after Keane If we did get him and Santos in I think we’d be in great shape tbh Would be very hapy with that. Maybe a Left Back too but not sure who would be available. Thoughts on: Josh Edwards - Charlton Jake Bidwell - Coventr...
Small point but I remember listening to a podcast with the Arsenal physio and he said nobody fails a medical as that isn't want the process is about - he is simply an input into the risk analysis that forms part of any signing. As we were due to pay a fee for Santos, then the medical must have show...
Wasn't Grabban suffering really badly with crohn's while he was with us? Not sure but do recall that Chris Martin was suffering with something similar when he was with us (but only disclosed after he'd left) Martin had ulcerative colitis and basically shat himself to sleep every night. And every ti...
I would say we'd all heard of O'Connor, Lane, Marriott though, right? And generally looked at them and went 'cool, they've got a good track record at this level' with the possible exception of Marriott who is a bit older and had some question marks over whether he could still do it. It's not like w...
1986 - Nigel Stevenson, played 4 or 5 games I think as Reading tried unsuccessfully to dodge promotion in the 2nd half of that season. Ah. Fair enough, I was -8 years at the time. Was sat for ages trying to figure it out. Some recent ones are Leroy Lita, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Tivonge Rushesha, Nelson O...
I don't think we're looking for someone to replace Marriot but to partner him. I think something like this would work well, based entirely on my 0x coaching credentials. Out of possession Pereira Yiadom Burns O'Connor Dorsett Wing Savage Doyle Marriot Kyereewa Target Man In possession (Ball on right...
Doyle is on a season long loan and Savage is ours for now so maybe looking to the future especially as Fraser is also ours and possibly a better fit alongside Wing in that double pivot as they call it. Fraser will offer much better protection to the back four being a natural CDM and even though i w...
https://x.com/i/status/2009337881639485876 Pete O'Rourke on Twitter - Understand Ross County have rejected multiple bids from several League One and League Two sides for star striker Ronan Hale. Could one of them be us? We were heavily linked in Summer. Would be surprised if we paid any kind of sub...

He’s made only 1 sub appearance for Swansea. On 22 Nov in a 3-0 defeat at Bristol City, hasn’t been seen in a Swansea squad since so would presumably confirm that he is now suffering with the aforementioned hip injury. Not suggesting he is injury prone, just that his apparent lack of a proper pre-s...

If we can bring in a player like Jason Roberts we could aim for playoffs, maybe higher. Remember the way he used to turn players, don't think we've ever had a player come in that has had such an immediate impact before or since. I'd like to see us sign this kind of player, bring them in for Ritchie ...
