Here's hoping Fulham bench him this weekend because of the Boro interest....and then reject all offers after that..
Certainly looks like whatever happens Middlesbrough have got some serious cash to sign a top Championship striker.
Norwich City have agreed to sell striker Gary Hooper to Sheffield Wednesday. Deal should be completed tomorrow.
What's the odds on that waste of space scoring against us? I'll definitely be having a few quid on him scoring, it'll ease the pain!
Mind you, he's 34 or so isn't he? That might be a worthwhile £500k for a team to try and get them over the line in a promotion race, but Reading are going to have to go some just to make the play-offs. Not exactly one for the future
They're trying to get promoted now, not in the future, I don't think signing a player that'll be good in 3 years time is what they need. Besides, they have Harry Cardwell, he's already training with their first team. Age is only relevant in terms of sell on really, it has nothing to do with whether the player is any good or not. Look at Akpom.
Probably some Tickler-esque news, but Palacios is now at Miami FC. Take it his 6 month trial didn't go well.
I agree to an extent; Kermogant would have been great for a team around the play-offs or even ourselves, but Reading are 11 off even that. Maybe they shouldn't be written off yet, but they are going to get over 2 points per game from now on in to have a decent chance....surprised someone a bit higher up didn't go in for him
I wish we had. He offers a different threat to Abel, so it would have been great to have something different in our armoury. Now I'll just hope we sign any striker.
