Allegedly has a drink problem and turned up the worse for wear for training. He's been a disastrous signing. Not a good idea IMO

Don't think anybody on here thinks this will happen,although G&S muted an interest a few months back. I think he is more likely to go back to Atletico Madrid, but doubt they can afford him either. Not even at a cut price £20m

Nick Powell. Crewe to Man Utd £3-4m with a possible loanback apparantly. Very talented kid, 18 years old and all the tools (although a bit thin at the momment). Not sure at that price but he'd be a very good signing, even if for the future.

Puff, you're fuc#ing mental.

Some of the s*** you're chatting tonight is even more mental than when you thought Freddie Kanoute would leave a Champions League club to join us when we were struggling to get into the top 10.

Everyone calm down. Allardyce needs to improve us slowly and keep us up and then look to the future - Drogba, Carroll, Adam Johnson, Bent.....

FFS, if I was a Reading fan I'd be pissing myself at this site.

Deluded is right.

powell has got all the attributes to be a top drawer player. i'd love us to sign him for the futrure and loan back to championship or league 1 level but he's another 2 years off being able to cut it at prem league level.

Does Barrera deserve a second chance ? He's a winger and he's quick, and his crosses can't be any worse than Faubert's...

Barrera is useless.
We should try buying Matt Phillips or Tom Ince AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Since Turns to Stone is apparently having difficulty in answering my post but you are in agreement with him, are you able to tell me why you think I am deluded ?
