Fast, physical and exactly what we need. Assuming he can recover from that knee injury. |

We need an energetic athlete in our midfield to compliment the guile and skill we already have (Powell /Baker) and this guys sounds just the ticket

It’s interesting another I’ve never heard of. I sometimes look at our team sheet in names and then look at the opposition and 90% I haven’t heard of and they then beat us!
Coventry were in that bracket and probably should have won easily on the day.

He looks to be a decent player but, as a CENTRAL midfielder (i.e. competition for Baker) he looks like he would not be the specialist DEFENSIVE midfielder we really need. I'd rather we cast the net wider to sign a specialist defensive midfielder. MON doesn't want one, this guy is probably as close to one we'd get under MON, apparently the Championship isn't all that physical  |

Nobody on this board knows anything about him. That's just not true is it? People have tv's and some actually (weirdly ) choose to watch the Championship. Some people even have the Internet and you can watch all sorts of weird and mysterious games on there. Why would no one know anything about him? That's just silly! No it's not. I'm right, end of conversation  |

Very rarely watch other championship football and Blackburn don’t get much coverage anyway |

I'd rather we cast the net wider to sign a specialist defensive midfielder. I concur. He has played as a DCM in a double-pivot for Reading before, but I don’t think it’s his natural position. He would be much better as one of the midfielders either side of a holding midfielder in a middle 3 (Baker being the other one). I know the questions arising from that though… what about Powell? Well… MON prefers a midfield 3 but Powell’s best position is as a No. 10. |

What are his defensive stats like?
I have less problem with not getting a "classic" defensive midfielder, if we are bringing in someone who is decent defensively but most importantly, is physical and athletic. That's really what we miss throughout the spine of the team.

Looks like he had 2 bad injuries last season. An ankle injury that ruled him out from Aug-Jan, then a knee injury in March where he "ripped the muscle away from the bone" and ended his season thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/2022/4/1/22992396/reading-fc-good-position-cope-with-losing-andy-rinomhota-and-yakou-meite-royalsYou know what you get with Rinomhota (a Duracell-bunny-like ball-winner who takes the game by the scruff of the neck in the midfield) and Meite (a proven goalscorer). Unlike more mercurial talents who blow hot and cold, Rino and Yaks can be relied upon consistently. I’d been particularly impressed with Rinomhota in recent months. Having quickly got up to speed after long-term injury, he was the only player to come out of a nightmarish January with any credit, and went on to prove his importance with a series of committed performances. The better Rinomhota got, the better Reading got. And, true to form, when he had to be shunted to right back at Blackpool, the drop-off in Reading’s midfield performance was immediately evident. After all, there’s no like-for-like replacement in the squad for Rinomhota’s skill set: a barrel-load of energy, strength and tenacity. The closest Reading can call on is Josh Laurent, but although he’s got a great engine and physical presence, he’s not got that level of sheer intensity we see in Rino’s game. Does read a bit Doughty like doesn't it. Which is a shame because he sounds ideal. Things have got bad if we’re in for Daughtry. I mean, a couple of good songs but… |
