I would rather see Rickets with someone younger, Martin as cover, then Reda as LB with Stokes and Haynes to battle it out for cover. You also have Reda as cover for CB positions. I wouldn't be suprised to see Pennington back on a loan till December with an option until the end of the season.
Two midfielders for me are the real key and a striker. I have a hunch Reading won't go with Samuel
I am sure they will sign them when they are ready and most players will be on the beach and their agents will be worrying more about the bigger name players on their books.
We really do need to keep Waggott quiet every time he opens his mouth a load of rubbish seems to flow out.
