He's 26 years old so in the right age range.

Career average if one goal every six games. Good for a midfielder and better than any of our alleged strikers last season.

Get him and Laurent to provide the midfield creativity we need.

Funny that Reading want to keep Laurent and have offered him a new contract (not accepted yet), but let Swift walk.
 
Don't know if this is correct, but Sky reckons John Swift will not be offered a contract and has been officially released by Reading.

I know he could command a decent wage in the Championship, but he's just the sort of creative player we're desperate for in midfield.

Worth pushing the boat out?
Definitely.
 
This is bilge. He would hardly say anything different for a player he represents.

Not sure that the fact that he represents the player is enough to prove that what he's saying is "bilge". Yes of course he's going to talk positively about his stable and yes he's an agent, but it still doesn't make everything he says "bilge" does it?

Agreed but is hardly impartial due to his vested interest.

Although we will be very pleased if he is correct.
 
Definitely. On £25k a week at Ashtip and they would want a fee for the last 12 months of his contract. Not worth either of those.

Move on and focus on Laurent and Swift plus a striker who actually scores goals.
Another Baccuna. A big salary sitting on the bench.
Doesnt seem to have become 1st choice anywhere.

Close but no cigar.

Swallows in and out one of our stables for the last 3 weeks.
One nearly took my head off today when I walked past as it exited.
Poetic licence. Or clingo speaks with fork tail.
Due to climate change, growing numbers of Swift's, swallows and martens are no longer migrating for the winter.

I'll give you that.

It has been noticable over the last few years.
They seemed late this year and havent turned up in numbers.
We usually have quite a few swooping over our fields from late April to early May. Was the backend of that before I spotted any. My local trout water usually has a lot of them feeding on hatching insects and drinking.
Hardly seen one this year.
Things are not well with the natural cycle.

Fingers crossed that we will see Bluebirds soaring high next year.<cheers>

Don't want to take this thread too far off topic but perhaps I can be forgiven while it's quiet.
Fascinating to read what you've written and not dissimilar to other reports I've read. Strangely, the further south you get in the UK so the picture changes. In Gloucester, the spring migrants arrive earlier each year and now it can be possible to see Swallows all year round.
Global weirding!

In some dark, quiet car parks around here I'm told a lot of swallowing and some spitting happens most nights.

Apologies for the Masky turn.
