Re: Matt Ritchie

Sutekh
Brogue Ritchie was at the training ground today . I’m expecting this to be announced tomorrow


Along with Devante Cole no doubt?


And Bowler?

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Do we know if it was a free transfer as he still had a year left on his Pompey contract.

Re: Speculation Tyrese Shade

traff Eastleigh forward accepted record bid from L1 club


Not sure about Shade, I would say that things are very dark at RFC if we have to sink that low to get a striker. Hardly tore up League 2 when he had the chance.

Re: Rumour - the Yak back

With our lack of striking options, we would be bonkers not to offer him at least a one year deal, I suspect he has been on Championship wages and would have to take a big pay cut to come back. As time goes by, if he gets no other offers, it might be a goer towards the end of the window.

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

I think the new owners are right not to offer stupid wages and to try to run the club sustainably and I am still hopeful that Hunt will be able to fashion a competitive side during the next few weeks. However, we have lost most of our best players ex Wing and Pereira and so any thought of promotion ...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Kyerewaa scored 11 goals the last time he played much iirc. O'Mahoney and Ehibhatiomahn should be targetting 10+. You'd expect Bowler to get more than 5. And he currently seems as likely to sign as Knibbs is to go. Ehib scoring 10 is stretch when he has managed 1/5/4 the last 3 seasons and in any c...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

I am not one to panic and there is still time, but we do desperately need at least one proven striker. It is rumoured that Cole is going to Luton, so doubt that will happen. Last season we scored 68 league goals as follows: Knibbs 14* Smith 11* Wing 9 Savage 5 Wareham 5* Campbell 5* Ehib 4 Camara 3...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Abraham Kanu going on season-long loan at Forest Green Rovers. Good move for him but leaves us short of cover at CB and so I assume we are going to add at least one more experienced player there. Doubt he'd have made the bench for league games. Stickland, Dorsett and realistically Yids ahead of him...

Re: Pre Season games 2025/6

Watched it all. Garcia stand out going forwards in the first half, Defence did ok both halves. Thought both the triallists did well and Ryan always seems to impress. Tuma did ok and looks pacy. Early days and you cannot read much into pre season but it seems to me the squad building is going well. O...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Sutekh Revised list by position.

The OS lists Tyler Sackey still, thought he had left the club?

Considered as 1st team squad


Not sure if anyone answered this point but Tyler Sackey was on the May retained list as still being under contract.

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Devon live is confirming that Exeter paid compensation for Wareham and local London news said a couple of days ago that QPR were negotiating a fee for Mbengue. Does anyone have an idea of likely amounts involved?

Re: Rumour- Chem Campbell permanent

No disrespect to Stevenage but you would think that if a player had the choice between them and Reading under new ownership, that we would be more likely to be promoted. So rather odd if he had both options and chose them. Perhaps we didn’t want him, wouldn’t give him sufficient assurance about bein...

Re: Early expectations for next season

Bookies are normally right and they have RFC as 9th favourite to be top next season at 14-1 and 5-1 to be promoted. 5-1 seems like a good bet to me. Not saying we will go up but quite generous odds.

Re: Are Reading fans unfairly critical of black players?

I can only speak for myself but I can honestly say skin colour simply doesn't come into my head when I think of which players are doing a good job or not. For example we all seem to love Mbengue - who is fantastic. He tries hard, is athletic and gives his all. I have never given his skin colour a th...
