Not sure how much credence to give it? Indian cricket journalist from New Delhi with 4000 followers? Is he just putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5? more than likely |

Very, very strange source to break news though. I'm sceptical. Although he is highlighting the fact that Fabrizio Romano, who's one of the best transfer breakers, follows him on twitter. Quite why a very low-profile cricket journalist from India would get any nudge about this one is anyone's guess. Yes it does seem very odd |

would this tie in with MON's comments that not all will be in before Reading as he's not yet match fit?
Where's Hiyaduck with the latest on him?

Just dont give me any hope unless its happening! He was our number one target in Jan and John Coates was desperate to get him. |

If he was to come, which I am not convinced about, we would still need a Fletcher type striker?.

Typical, bloody typical. No imminent move if that's the case.

Wonder if we're talking 3 weeks?
Or 6? Or longer?

I don’t think Pete has much of a clue what’s going on with this one. I don’t think an injury that will keep him out for a few weeks would scupper a season long loan. |

MON seemed to make a point post match, about turning down "good" players. Makes you wonder what sort of quality we are looking at?..

Quite why a very low-profile cricket journalist from India would get any nudge about this one is anyone's guess. No matter what, it’s certainly gathering pace. Had to see at this point him not coming to be honest. |

I’m not sure these ‘must start if fit’ clauses are a thing, I mean what if he’s playing absolutely shit? No club would agree to that, it wouldn’t make sense. <waits for usual suspects to bring up Joe Allen’s mythical contract clause> |

Post by FullerMagic on Aug 1, 2021 9:58:45 GMT
Presumably (given his upside) we'd still go through with the deal even if he was out for 2 - or even 3 months?

Haven’t we signed enough injured players we need absolute clarity on that injury before we commit otherwise Campbell , Doughty and Delap could e tasked us with firing us out of a relegation battle by the time they are ready

I’m still adamant he’s not coming, but after reading things like above needing guaranteed matches etc, we’d be stupid to sign him on that basis.
He’s clearly talented but he’s not played anywhere near this level, the championship is a huge step up for him - the last thing we need is a player who has so many starts written into the deal and him not being ready to make that step up.
