Cool, but he's young enough not to be in the 25 man squad, so still 2 more to go. <usual bad maths disclaimer>
Btw Reading are totally crap. 2nd favourites to go down, tanked since last Christmas to eventually stay up by 3 points, and lost their first 3 games including at home to one of their close rivals. Good luck.
Their best player (when I've seen them, which admittedly isn't all that often) plays in the same position as Sims as well.
Probably more wishful thinking on my part, but I do think we need to send a centre back out on loan as if we choose to play with 2 then we most likely have 1 too many. The obvious candidates for a loan are Bednarek and Stephens due to age (Hoedt is young as well but can't see us loaning out a player we spent that much on to "develop" would more likely be a Boufal/Clasie/Carrillo loan where we have basically given up on the player). I would rather keep Bednarek around for the first team than Stephens.
Hope he goes. Been reading on twitter that Gallagher was great in open training today. Not in the u23 side this evening, so maybe he’s off on loan too?
Rather let Shane go than Sam tbh as I think the later would score more often than Shane Additionally Shane is on higher wages so by off setting some of that against Villa would be very worth while
