Rumored to be around a million in cost. No sure whether he's worth it but Reading are struggling financially. Need the money to pay the tax bill this week plus more from the McCarthy and Gareth McCleary sales to pay off rest of bill. Could be in the brown stuff if they don't get taken over <ok>
 
Happy with this signing. More so than Macheda anyhow. We just need to bolster the midfield with a ball winner and the defence with another CB to replace Caulker who will undoubtedly be leaving at some point.
Another left back wouldn't go amiss either!
 
A centre back to replace Caulker and a DM to replace Medel with a couple wingers / wide men to replace Bellamy (not that he can be replaced, but you know what I mean) and Zaha and we'll be there or there abouts.

Would like to see the squad reduced to a manageable number as well. The opposite problem of 3-4 years back. 2 players in every position, a third keeper, a couple utility players and a couple youngsters is more than enough.

And a keeper as Lewis will not be up to be our no 1.

Think we're well stocked with full backs but possibly not the quality. Brayford will be like a new signing mind. Have my doubts about Taylor but John will only have got better with a PL season under his belt, plus Fabio & KTC may thrive in this league(if KTC stays?). McNaughton and Connelly as cover, even though I think he'll ship Connelly out.
 
I think our FB's are plenty good enough for the Championship. I will be very disappointed if we start the season with Lewis as number 1.
