Tomas Esteves signs for Pisa for €1m

I liked him, had something about him.

He was shocking. Had a good highlights reel but made a brand new Tom Holmes look like Zanetti.

And that's less than half a Puscas.

Embarrassing night for academy graduate Jake Cooper yesterday. Hammered by a L1 team playing a load of academy kids

Looked like the Jake Cooper of Reading for the 4th.

I’m sure his vastly superior pay cheque made him feel warm and fuzzy.

And his superior league career over the last few years.

Thought Meite would start for Cardiff tonight, not even in the squad....must be injured already

[Hound]

Yep likely

One time Reading liability, Mamadou Loum, has joined the Saudi revolution and left Porto for al-Raed

And Nahum Melvin-Lambert has signed for Weymouth.

Loum was insane first game then became utter horse shit, Melvin-Lambert was playing for them against us in the friendly.

[From Despair To Where?]

Loum was ok to start with, then went to Qatar where he was inexplicably traded for a donkey.

I suspect the real Mamadou Loum is now plying his trade as a hod carrier somewhere in Doha.

Loum was one of those players who too big risks and playrd on the edge. When it came off he looked like a world beater, when it didn't he looked like a clown.

I think when it came off was more luck than judgement.

He writes in big writing.

That's a brilliant reference. The big writing is for the oldies.

Seems like the Palace fanbase are now in the same circular argument that the Reading fan base is in over Olise - but with obviously higher figures involved.

Lol yeh, my Palace supporting m8 has been moaning about it being a criminally low fee

And he is right, but it is certainly a lot more than Palace would be getting if it wasn't in there.

Great signing for Chelsea at that price. Incredibly good business

Amazed the other top clubs haven’t been all over it, Chelsea will be delighted

Prob worth 70-80m in todays prices, £120m if Brighton are setting the fee

[3points]

Will he ever get a game at Chelsea (or Man City tbf)? With KDB out for a few months perhaps Man City now have more of a need than Chelsea?

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Very low fee in today's ridiculous market...BBC now confirming going to Chelsea.

Don't think this is the best move for him, his game time is likely to be very limited
