Man City say Balotelli will not leave. Spurs have paid Schalke to bring Holtby's signing forward and he will now join this month. AVB must have big plans for him. Fer will join Everton. So some of our key competition has gotten stronger. We need to scalp Arsenal on Wednesday night!
Fer nickname is "The bouncer" due to his physical prescence on the pitch. AKA he will run right through our midfield.
Any team we have played with some physical prescence this year has killed us through the middle: West Ham (Diame), Chelsea (Mikel), Arsenal (Diaby), Oldham ( everyone). We struggle, and if Allen plays he will be targetted by these players.
Strangely when we were at our worst, at the start of the season, we completely nullified Yaya Toure (probably Allen's best game).
Reading are in for him. Reading Post reporter Jonny Fordham on Twitter: "Brian McDermott confirms Thomas Ince bid."
I'd be very happy with him joining Reading. My only concern is that at Reading he would be free to play without the immense pressure that a Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, etc brings so may well shine and, in the media's eyes, back us look bad again. No disrespect to Reading intended
as long as we make a few bucks off the deal to reading i'm happy. kids decent but we're looking for special
SSN reporting that Reading have withdrew their offer for Tom Ince because Blackpool are refusing to sell.
