I think it's ben a very good window. We've reduced the numbers which was Liams priority, whilst adding depth in goal and quality up top. Konrad would've been the cherry on top, but with Ebiowei, Longman, Tetteh, Pelkas, Sayyadmanesh and Connolly all capable of playing out wide it wasn't a necessity.
I fancy us for a top half finish, but we have probably given ourselves too much to do for play offs. Next season already excites me though. 9 months into the Liam revolution and no doubt a couple more key players added. What's Readings record point total again?
Posted 2 hours ago that he has signed. That was before Baz's breaking news that he'd flown in.
What is the point of Baz... He more or less confirmed it an hour ago
We are six points off the playoffs despite the appalling defensive record under Shota. We have a stronger team for the remainder of the season and a Manager who has had a great start. With 51 points still up for grabs, why cant we make the playoffs?
The thing is, what exactly do Exeter think they are getting?!“We thank James for his efforts”.
It’s the lies I can’t stand.
This is another example of where Baz can't win. First one person was bragging that they know the player has already signed and Baz is behind. Then when it turns out he didn't sign in time, another person is complaining that Baz said he was already signed (and he didn't say that).
Has Tufan lost weight?Jesus,
Complainers complain, but we have a much leaner squad with a couple of apparent enhancements so let's run with it.
We cannot afford to wait till the summer for Simons, there will be even more clubs sniffing. It needs to be done today.

Hasn’t signed
He’s already here on loan, we’ve agreed a fee, it’s basically a loan with an option now if it doesn’t get done today. He’s our player
Nonsense, he’s signed. We were told 2 and 8 hours ago.
The deal was nearing completion yesterday.8 hours ago it started popping up places.
Was on the cards well be before that as you well know it must've been, but I accept it wasn't widely reported as a banker til Baz reported it.
He didn't just "Fly in to complete the deal " as was dramatically reported.
If he's actually arrived in person this evening then the deal was done days ago.
