    French Trialist Striker - Florian Ankoue

    A trialist has to be outstanding to get a contract Interesting that Farndon uses the word 'sulky' about him Nazon was like that and had such a low opinion of McNulty he wouldn't pass to him in games It was only after Robins told him he wouldn't play unless he started passing that he remembered...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    I wonder if Doyler is the one pushing for this lad to come in? He will know his potential from his time at Pompey and I know he's good at encouraging young players

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    I think OSB said a club is only allowed to spend 60% of any transfer fees received At our level wages are usually the biggest factor in getting the best L1 level guys in Most are on short(ish) contracts and will have been looked at and passed over by higher level clubs for whatever reason - a...

    Ched Evans

    I'd agree with the first part but change the second to 'he doesn't have any criminal convictions'

    Transfer Rumours

    Kasey Palmer is a possibility although I have no inside info Half the Championship are after him on loan He was at Derby last year and they want him back but he hardly played under their last manager He helped Huddersfield get promoted the season before The Adi Viveash factor may count again

    So anyone regretting the early season ticket buy now McNulty sold ?

    Robins has done pretty well with his signings so far We are a team on the up who try to play football I suspect Robins has a surprise or two up his sleeve for us in the coming weeks I'm not regretting backing us to win L1 at 20/1

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    Players learn early how ruthless football is We as fans all demand the same loyalty we give but former favourite players who get injured or lose form or pace as they get older are unceremoniously dumped when the club feels they have no further use It's even worse for young players coming through...

    Other contributors have said that the team didn't benefit from the money from Maddison's initial sale to Norwich That's not true as at least part of the money was used to buy Jodi Jones from Dagenham & Redbridge

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    Very true The team will be bursting with pace We will also create a lot more from midfield There are goal threats throughout the side now even before Robins brings another forward in

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    What ,may have happened is that after we refused the 'final' £600k offer Reading came back and offered something nearer what we were asking for In those circumstances a player will often be allowed to open discussions with the club making the bid - he may have gone down on Wednesday which is the...

    O'Brien Wanted by Eastleigh

    I suspect he's one of the fringe players Robins has told they can go if they can find a club Unlikely to be a fee but he'll be off the payroll and the lad will be more likely to get game time

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    On a positive note the players aren't down about McNulty going It would have been a bigger surprise if he'd stayed once Championship teams start making offers They have seen the good players who've come in so far and they're looking forward to the season

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    I'd say you're not far off what he was on here but as I suspect he'll be on quite a bit more than £10k a week in the Championship The average wage in the Championship will include young players who've come through the ranks and journeymen on middling deals but players like McNulty who've been...

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    A footballer's career is very short & McNulty is at his peak earning point right now He did a great job for us last year even though a minority were giving him stick early on I suspect Robins will have something lined up Won't be surprised if we see a prolific, experienced striker at League 1...

    Bayliss to Derby

    I've heard Derby don't have lots of money so maybe that's a factor We aren't going to let our best players go for peanuts Apparently Lampard tried to get Dujon Sterling on loan but he came to us instead Amazing really when you'd expect Lampard's Chelsea connection would have helped but Adi...
