[Royalwaster]

Has Bignall played a game yet for Southampton? Saw he was on bench again for their home win on Saturday ....

[leww_rfc]

Scott Davies scored a nice goal today..with a Paul the Octopus celebration!

[Elmer Park]

Rather obscure I know but Harry Harding from our Academy played for Bromley yesterday after spells at Oxford City, Kettering and Croydon Athletic already this season. Are we trying to tell him something?

[Terminal Boardom]

From the Scrote:

Royals left-back Marcus Williams is set to join Peterborough United on loan.

[Wycombe Royal]

[Elmer Park]

[Elmer Park]

Bell-Baggie on the bench for Crawley tonight against Swindon.

[leww_rfc]

He came on for 5 mins. Crawley 1-1 Swine *Replay to follow.

[specialjon]

Marcus Williams returns from loan, not even good enough for peterborough

[Wimb]

Bignall has his loan extended

[RoyalJames101]

Bignall has his loan extended

Is he at Bournemouth?

[Ian Royal]

soccerbase says it's so iirc, yes.

[leww_rfc]

He Didn't play tonight as Notts County thrash them in the Cup!

[Kitson12]

He Didn't play tonight as Notts County thrash them in the Cup!

I read into that that we don't want him cup-tied, which is strange as he comes back off loan on the 14th of January.

Perhaps it's because we are going to sell Long,Church and Hunt and will then play Bignall on his own up front after we have beaten WBA's reserves.
He's struggling to make much impact at Bournemouth and went off injured last week.

[Barry the bird boggler]

David Mooney loan extended to end of season at Colchester

Andersen and Hamer have been recalled from their loans at Bristol Rovers and Brentford

Simon Locke off for a month to Basingstoke Town

[leww_rfc]

Julian Kelly to lincoln City for 1 month!

[Victor Meldrew]

Anybody watching Mooney last night playing for Colchester will have seen why we don't want him.
Was it £250,000 that we gambled on him or was that for Bennett?
My how times have changed when we have been looking at spending £300,000 on a proven striker.

[Elmer Park]

Ben Hamer is joining Exeter City on a three month loan.

McDermott pleased with Jacob loan
Posted on: Thu 20 Jan 2011

Young Jacob Walcott has joined Dutch team Telstar on loan until the end of the season.

The 18-year-old could make his debut for his new club on Friday evening as they take on FC Eindhoven in the Dutch second tier.

Walcott has come through our Academy ranks, and has now been given the opportunity to play overseas and further his career thanks to Brian McDermott's friendship with their manager Jan Poortvliet, who is a very well respected coach and also a key player in the Dutch 'total football' national team of the 1970s Johan Cruyff era.

McDermott told readingfc.co.uk, "This is a very good tie-up for us. Myself and Nick [Hammond] know Jan very well, he is a good friend of mine and stayed with me in my home a couple of years ago.

"He is a terrific coach, played in the 1978 World Cup final, won the UEFA Cup plus the Dutch league a number of times.

"I've got a lot of admiration for Jacob to go over there, he will play games and learn a hell of a lot, it will certainly benefit his career and it's a very positive move for him."


Sounds like a good loan for the boy. If he's half as good as his cousin then we have another great prospect on our hands here, and a wide man too which might be handy in the near future if we do lose Kebe and/or McAnuff. I'll monitor this move with interest.
