Agrees, he's been here 2.5 years, which is quite a long time in modern football and I would imagine part of the reason a 4 year deal was agreed was with an agreement that he could move on at around this time (or summer at latest) and the club receive a fee. Yeah, reluctantly agree, because I don't ...

Good luck to Tom, a proper Royals fan.
Wouldn't it be just crazy if he were to hit top form and end up getting selected for Scotland's World Cup squad?

He might have a chance anyway as , if Grant Hanley can get in their side then anybody can.

Rather sad to see that this topic was raised by EIL (RIP).

Millwall rejected a club record fee, meaning at least £15m. If they stay down, you'd think our sell on windfall will surely come in the summer. Dang. Who's their current record sale? Romain Esse to Crystal Palace last January according to TransferMarkt. He was sold for £12m, plus £2.5m in add ons. ...

For non-league clubs there will surely be major issues in the coming weeks with re-scheduling especially when at most levels cup games take precedence.

Plus, and I think this might be the biggest factor involved here, we changed our manager in the Autumn. Yes and I would guess that LR would have made clear that he would need reinforcements. I didn't post this earlier because it sounded a bit light on detail but I was told that LR had been advised ...

Happy with this. I didn't watch much of that Villa game but if he is half as good as the young lad who came on and scored the winner he'll do. I can't see why there would be an issue about him being up and running compared with Lisbie as another poster suggested. Playing in front of a big crowd in a...

Could be.

Wirtz is getting better every game - it took a while but he is terrific to watch.

Agreed on Wirtz.
I was trying to think of a player like him and there haven't been many, perhaps Coutinho and David Silva?

He reminds me a bit of Mezut Ozil.

Yeah, good shout.

And are Liverpool fixed? Ripped Newcastle a new one yesterday, have they actually turned up for the season now? Could be. Wirtz is getting better every game - it took a while but he is terrific to watch. Agreed on Wirtz. I was trying to think of a player like him and there haven't been many, perhap...

Been credited to Solanke now. Then a scorpion kick for his 2nd. Don't want to get carried away, but 10/1 to make the World Cup squad is printing money. What's the expression "Follow the money"? Following your AFCON success I am tempted to follow you on the basis of who else has a realisti...

Sutekh A Bracknell accent!?

When I first started getting the train up to Reading in the 90s, everyone sounded like right yokels.

Since I've left, I get that now when I return.

Same happened when we moved to Dorset.
I hardly notice it now but I do notice the Readin' accent when I come up.

Tshibola signs for Kilmarnock again.
He has been around a bit but seems to like Scotland.

Is it a "what" or a "who"? Is it Mark McGhee? I thought that to start with but Real Madrid? I then thought about the fair haired forward we had on loan who played in Germany as well as for us but didn't he play for Barcelona? Or that ex-Aberdeen midfielder that we had who was ho...

For all their early burst of pressure, driving TNT commentators into ecstasy, Newcastle ended up with only 2 shots on target in the whole game. 3 beautifully created goals plus the emotional dribbler from Konate made it a good week for Liverpool after the disappointment of last Saturday at Bournemou...

James Milner now 1 game away from equalling the appearance record in the Premier League era Gareth Barry currently top with 653 apps Anyone want to hazard guesses as to which goalkeeper has the most PL appearances? David James was around for quite some time and played for a lot of clubs as well as ...

Winston Biscuit James Milner now 1 game away from equalling the appearance record in the Premier League era

I gather that Brighton fans are not that enamoured with him coming on late and possibly disrupting the shape of the side just so that he can clock up appearances.
Today they conceded in the 96th minute.

Our two best players stood up today (in case anybody didn't know it is Pereira and Wing of course) and produced key moments in the game. I had the Northampton commentary and stream and they felt , with some justification IMHO, that this week we could have no complaints about refereeing decisions -th...

:lol: :lol: Some of the stuff on here :lol: :lol: LR has scarcely got his feet under the table here. He's weighed up the contracted pro's he has inherited, signed specific players where he believes is necessary, and some of those those players are still bedding in. Having what is perceived by our L...
