YateleyRoyal Oh god yes, sign him up.

I dont know about some of those tackles being given as fouls in this country, i think theyre more likely to be classified as rape.


Maybe he'll be off to Southampton instead then :wink:

If we were to sign him, I'd rather see him play in the midfield. Would play a brilliant holding role.

Christ he looks even more psychotic than Bikey at his worst.

Gotta be a minimum of two reds a season over the way he plays. But damn he looks good.

Looks like the right hand side centreback of a 3 man central defence to me.

He looks very, very good. I we got him, I really would be a very happy person. Him along Ivar/Pearce/Bikey is a mouth watering prospect.

+1

There was absolutely no violent conduct, assaulting of medical staff and tantrums for having red cards in that video.

He was crunching in the tackle and thats it, good competitor.

LOL Already said, hes going to require a substancial fee and will ask for wages-- not a typical reading signing.

We like to aim for lower league players who are just happy to be here.

I could list plenty more, but you aren't worth the effort.

We've been through this, yet you continue to respond to me. I obviously am worth the effort as you continue to make it.

We spend eff all on players, not expecting anything over the next month or so.

We spend an appropriate amount on transfer fees and wages for the level at which we're competing, and for the players that are available.

Others however do not.

As Forest continue to chuck money at players, I'm quietly content that we're continuing to do things the right way. If Forest go up and we don't then fair play to them. The bubble is going to burst in football in monetary terms at some point though, and it will be interesting to see how many clubs are a) In business and b) competing at the level their fans feel they should be.

Where would Rangers be right now if they were in the English league set up with their recent financial problems? If they weren't in the Mickey-Mouse SPL they'd be in freefall (probably anyway).

I'm judging by the tone of your posts that you're not happy with our spending strategy, but to be honest I'm not expecting to ever read one of your posts and find it in the least bit sensible, correct or thought provoking.

Apart from these thoughts of course, which are well thought out, reasonably explained and impossible to argue with (although you'll try in vain to do so I'm sure).

Totally agree with this. I would be interested in seeing him stay more on his feet rather than lunge in.

I didn't say I wouldn't respond to you. It's hardly any effort at all to make a quick post showing you to be talking balls.

It's the stopping and doing more than just coming up with things off the top of my head that aren't worth the effort. Like going through all th eplayers we've signed in the last 5 years that don't fit in with your dimwitted opinion of Reading transfers and maybe even epxressing that as a percentage of total transfers.

Its a good job there are no grammar police around tonight.

RFC's transfer policy stinks. Its why we have taken MASSIVE STEPS BACK as a club from three years ago. Anyone with half a brain knows this, so why argue it and call the people who are right " dimwitted", it doesn't make sense.

Sorry, idiots wind me up.


He certainly looks good, but I'm still worried by the lunging tackles and little kicks. On the other hand he's definitely got pace and skill on the ball.

On balance I'm in the no category, especially if he's gonna cost £1m+. But I won't be crying if he does sign.

I'm pretty sure the OP has a fairly sketchy hit rate with this rumours.
