    Bale and Ramsey must have been sniffing stuff in Baku and fantasised over a takeover bid.

    We can but dream.

    On second thoughts, no.

    They don't fit the desired age profile.

    Just reading a report on the lack of signings so far by Reading and 8 other Championship clubs. It listed the signings made by the other 15 clubs.

    It appears we have signed James Connolly from Blackburn. Aged 20, ANOTHER defensive midfielder. Contract with Blackburn up tomorrow.

    Briefly scanned back on this thread to end of May but didn't spot any reference. Have I/we missed something?

    With all these DM's are we going for a 2 6 1 1 formation?

    Panic over, found him on City's website. 3 19 year olds signed, Connolly, who is apparently a centre back, Luthra (from Palace, goalie) and Semenyo (right back from Mangotsfield, brother of Wurzels' player).

    All to be part of Under 23 squad.

    Is someone holding him up? Hope he can fully recover and contribute or at least generate a sale value.

    Okay, who nicked the Swansea tops?

    I can only see one leg.
    He must be hopping.

    I understood it to have been £1m in total if conditions were met with a smallish initial payment.

    Watters has suffered through the change in manager. No doubt, Harris who bought him would have played him to justify his choice, whereas McCarthy didn't buy him and had no allegiance.

    One of McCarthy's criterias seems to be you've played for him before at club or national level (Jonny Williams, Keiffer Moore, James Collins) or knowledge of players through trusted associates like Dave Bowman resulting in the arrival of McGuinness for starters - I just hope Bowman knows of good midfield playmaker out there.

    From what he's said so far, youngsters like Colwill, Bagan and Sang will be in the mix, but I expect the bulk of the side to be those he's either had experience of before, or recommended by people in the game whose advice he trusts - just hope it works out.

    Or was Watters a panic buy by Harris and MM saw through him quickly?

    Who knows?

    Be nice to know who is agreeing these signings. Shouldn't they be seeing though duff signings?

    Something isn't working.

    Was Moore a well thought out signing?
    If you chuck enough darts at the board, one will hit the bulls eye.
