No. Have you?Have you thought about the possibility that we wanted to ??
Is it always the case that players are sold only when a replacement is lined up?Can someone tell me why we sold Marc Mcnulty without having a replacement in position ready to sign? We did not want to sell the player so therefore the deal should have been done at our speed. It's not as though it was the eve of the season and Reading needed him straight away .Now we are scrambling around getting a goal scorer in.Not very professional.
There was a big difference then £200,000 came in them £200,000 was spent to bring players in ,now if £200,000 comes in your lucky to see half spent on replacements.Selling players to finance buying players has always happened especially here, I remember us flogging Jeff Blockley to Arsenal for what was then a record £200k fee for a defender That got us Tommy Hutchison, Colin Stein and a young goalie prospect Jim Blythe, didn’t we do well there!
Well counting the Maddison bonus we have had about 4 million come in and if sisu stick to what’s been said just under half will be used to get players in so nothing has changed really. The big difference now to me is a decent wedge from these in coming transfer fees will be used for new players that’s a first for a long timeThere was a big difference then £200,000 came in them £200,000 was spent to bring players in ,now if £200,000 comes in your lucky to see half spent on replacements.
That we appear to be spending anything and have signed some players on longer contracts would suggest they have good reason to be upbeat.Magwitch I see no pigs flying.
McNulty's gone?????????? Oh No!!!!!!! What are we going to do now? We'll be relegated again for sure! This has never happened in the history of football transfers!! WE'RE DOOMED, I TELLS YA! DOOMED!!!! Give me a razor blade and I'll slit me wrists as I sit here! :emoji_scream::emoji_scream::emoji_scream::emoji_scream::emoji_scream:
Phew!Don’t do it! We’ve still got Julian Gray thank goodness!
Great news, an experienced goalkeeper, and two proven strikers on their way thenNone of us have a clue what's going on behind the scenes or any discussions/negotiations taking place
In Robins we have to trust and I'm sure come 4th August, we will have a squad ready to challenge for the top 6.
Could well be, who knows?Great news, an experienced goalkeeper, and two proven strikers on their way then
Completely correct, absolutely nothing to do with the player and agent forcing the move...We sold him to the first bidder that came along, as we always do, sissu will let Robins buy a replacement, as long as he’s cheap, and then there is money left over to spend on frivolous law suits that they havnt a hope in hell of winning.

Houchens Head I don't see panic on here , would be nice to be proactive instead of reactive . Strickers with any quality are hard to come by and clubs are reluctant to let them go so close to the start of the season.
We sold him with 3 weeks of the transfer window left, it's not like we sold him on deadline day.Houchens Head I don't see panic on here , would be nice to be proactive instead of reactive .

Yes, 9th August actually so just over a month in totalWas about a month wasn't it? Thought it was about the first couple of weeks in August.
There are still 3 weeks to go. Why keep a player and disrupt pre-season when he clearly wanted to leave? Rather sell him for good money and find the right replacement.Houchens Head I don't see panic on here , would be nice to be proactive instead of reactive .

Well I wish Chaplin had the same agent.Completely correct, absolutely nothing to do with the player and agent forcing the move...
So you want to keep an unhappy sulking player? Risk disrupting team spirit and forcing a player in to the team? He wasnt bleating he was stating a fact. If it wasnt for the agent he wouldnt have had his head turned so much. We were offered good money for a player who wanted to leave so why keep him and risk having an unhappy player and no buyer?Well I wish Chaplin had the same agent.
How many clubs with genuine ambition sell their best player without first securing an adequate replacement.
It’s simple really, you have to play hard ball and tell Mcnulty he’s not leaving until we’ve signed another striker.
Robins bleating on about agents is pathetic, and just deflecting the blame off himself. And all the fans just suck it up.
Reading have paid way too much for McNulty.We sold him to the first bidder that came along, as we always do, sissu will let Robins buy a replacement, as long as he’s cheap, and then there is money left over to spend on frivolous law suits that they havnt a hope in hell of winning.
