The Breakfast Debate

Your opinions are like the weather forecast covering every angle.monks signings were all he could afford and in jan he was given nothing.all the loans were cheap cack.how much do you think the six above us spent.

 

And how much did we make from selling last years jewel. Knocking off the reduced salaries I would imagine the nett spend was half of **** all.

 

Denied

 

January 2016 ???

 

You've not shagged anyone?

 

I posted a few days back Readings preseason spend, it was far less than us.

Gravenberch - £200k
John Swift - FREE
Beerens - 600k Euro
Kermorgant - £500k
Mendes - £350k

Those were the ones I found then gave up.

So you're suggesting it is who spends the most goes up?

 

Still relevant as it shows cellino in his true

Whats the wages and what have they spent previous to this.you dont build a team in one go.

 

Norwich in the sh**e

John Ruddy, Ryan Bennett, Sebastien Bassong, Michael Turner, Steven Whittaker, midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu and striker Kyle Lafferty have been informed they will not have their contracts renewed.

Also documented that players like Steven Naismith and Matt Jarvis who remain on good contracts at the club be be available should the right offers come in

 

Reading FC Transfer Spending
Season Players In Players Out

2013/14 £1.5m signed and sales £5m
2014/15 £1.7m signed and sales £13m
2015/16 £3m signed and sales £7.5m

Looking at the figures Reading have done pretty well....

Wages no idea

 

Me neither just wondered.

 

When were they relegated? I guess parachute payments could come into as well it but those figures suggest good judgement in the transfer market. Still they weren't tipped till uncle fester took over.

Monk went after the players he wanted, and got most of them, no surprises that quite a few were Swansea or ex Swansea players.

Cellino told Radz not to invest during the January window because of the number of players we already had I believe.

Monk brought in Pedraza and Barrow earlier in year, Barrow on loan from Swansea, Pedraza was expected to make a big impact but didn't, Barrow has been exactly that, a barrow.

 

As Cellino told Radz to invest nothing that left Monk shopping in Woolworths. Pedraza and barrow were not his first choice

 

So he told you this personally, did he?

Or is this another opinion you've picked up somewhere & decided to present it as fact?

 

I think you'll find that you are quite wrong! Don't you realise that LL read an article that a schoolboy scribbled in his bedroom, despite him never having seen Leeds in his life, and LL decided that it is fact & he should spread the gospel!

 

Monk did not get the players he wanted in january.so had to take a gamble or get no one.the thing is only the club knew the targets.cellino openly told rads not to buy anyone.

 

Cellino told Radz not to invest during the January window because of the number of players we already had I believe.

Covered that one already.

If you read, you may find Pep was the one who brought Pedraza to Monks attention, also, 20,000 quid a week Barrow..........a gamble?........or was it because he was a Swansea player................Monk must've rated them to say yes.

please note Monks statement....

“The most important thing for me in this window is that we strengthen the squad, not weaken it,” said Monk.

“We definitely need two, but it will only be players that can add quality.”

Then this,

Please note Monks statement

Speaking at his weekly press conference broadcast by Radio Yorkshire, Monk says the duo have vindicated his decision to sign them by settling in so well with the squad.

Gamble?

So, according to your reply to Eire, you're saying Pedraza and Barrow were his first choices then.....

Read the articles posted on Wakeys comments.


Damn, where's that picture of a plane going down in flames.

 

I said no such thing.

What I clearly MEANT was expressed in the post immediately before which your blinkers (or more likely inability to reply truthfully) prevented you from acknowledging, far less answering. Just on the off chance you genuinely missed it (), I'll reproduce it here for you .....
