sonyc 5,492 Posted August 31, 2015 This is the latest press rumour. Apparently Clarke interested last year. If he goes and Hooper we must be in for Walters, maybe Gayle too ( or Murray) because I cannot see Grabban playing again for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gitto 0 Posted August 31, 2015 What''s the point of him going to Reading if he wasn''t gonna play for City in the Championship last year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland Canary 76 Posted August 31, 2015 None of Lafferty, RvW and Grabban are of PL quality. If we can mitigate their costs that is a sensible strategy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted August 31, 2015 That is a stupid question on almost every level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gitto 0 Posted August 31, 2015 So if Walters Afobe and Mbokani are PL quality why has someone not snapped up before now???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gitto 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Grant Holt was supposedly not PL quality, but when Norwich played to his strengths he did a great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,329 Posted August 31, 2015 Good point Gitto, Walters is very similar to Grant Holt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gitto 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Similar, but not as good. Holtys strength was his leadership on the field Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Bates 9 Posted August 31, 2015 PIAZON MOVES TO MADEJSKIThis transfer has not been confirmed by either Chelsea or Reading yet, but it seems Lucas Piazon is going to spend the season on loan at the Madejski... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gitto 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Well that''s cleared up the conjecture about what Lucas Piazon was doing this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrow89 0 Posted August 31, 2015 So Reading have made an enquiry (or so we are told) about taking RVW on loan, NCFC have not agreed to this so far and we don''t know what the response is either. But hey, that shouldn''t stop some from throwing their toys out and grizzling. Tears before bedtime I fear. Least before 6pm tomorrow.anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,735 Posted August 31, 2015 this would be a turnaround a year after his agent was quoted along the lines of "my client doesn''t operate at Championship level" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redders Right Foot 22 Posted August 31, 2015 [quote user="gitto"]So if Walters Afobe and Mbokani are PL quality why has someone not snapped up before now????[/quote]BBC Sports African corespondent has said Villa and another prem team were in for Mbokani, but wanted to buy and not loan him. With the situation going on with his contract he can only be loaned out this season. enter us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gitto 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Yes granted Redders right foot, but he''s 29 a congo international, like Mulumbu, and scored a heap of goals in Belgium, so why hasn''t a premier league club not been in for him before, after all it''s not as if the PL is shy of players from Belguim.
