Transfer Rumours

Mackay-Steven and Kebe would take us from a mid-table side to a genuine play off contender, no doubt. Have a feeling we'd only get one of them though, and that's if we're lucky. Maybe if we can offload a couple first it might be more realistic

If one was a season long loan and as long as we get one out (loan, sold, released) it could/should be a possibility
 
Talk on the main Reading forum that they're having real trouble with Kebe and he could be out of the door ASAP, even a rumour that he said he'd never play for Reading again after Brian was sacked. If all this is true we could hopefully get him at a knock down price.
 
Vaz Te is pure quality but doubt he would come or even what we are necessarily looking for at the moment
 
Works for me Eire. A chance for Hall to stake a claim for BMD to have another look at him. If he struggles there, then fair enough. Time to go. If, however, he proves to be the best thing since sliced bread, then bring him back after Cliffmas to help us yomp into the PL.
 
2020, to me Murphy isn't an attacking midfielder. He seems to like to sit deep to me and string passes together with the occasional straying run late into the box, don't know much about Mowatt but he seems similar.

And I think Baxter is mainly an attacking midfielder but can play on the wing. Remember though if Ross gets injured we will be struggling hugely so any creative signing at this stage who will add unpredictability to our attack will be welcomed from me. I have complete faith in whoever we sign until they prove otherwise (which hopefully will never happen <ok>)

isn't he in the mould of Murphy and Mowatt? Attacking midfielder? We have enough in that area, especially with Ross at the head of the diamond?

Baxter used to play up front for Everton, think he plays a little deeper for Oldham. As Josh says, he'd give us a little bit of creativity and unpredictability that we'd be lacking in if McCormack were to get injured. It would also allow us to us McCormack further forward if needs be.

Agree with Josh re Murphy and Mowatt too, they play deeper and orchestrate things from there. Baxter would provide more impetus in and around the box which is where I think we're lacking, Rosco aside. That said, we should probably be looking at wingers first and foremost, but a winger and Baxter would be lovely <ok>
 
What about Anthony Jeffrey from Arsenal?

Well worth loaning as an impact sub, rumoured to be faster than Walcott down the right & won't cost the earth!

Was it Baxter who was meant to be the next big thing until he chose to play for a lower league club?

Yeah he was supposedly the next Rooney but never really got a chance at Everton, so he choose to leave rather than sign a new contract. He's a decent player from what I've seen/heard though
 
Fair enough OP. Worth a loan until January with the option to extend until the end of the season, with an option to buy if all works out.
