MrOrdinary Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Good news chaps and chapesses =========================================== ROYALS director of football Nick Hammond admits it is "highly unlikely" they will sign a striker before tomorrow's loan transfer deadline. Clubs have until midnight on Thursday to complete any business but Reading appear to have called off their chase following three knock-backs in past couple of weeks. Boss Brendan Rodgers is understood to have been rebuffed by his old club Chelsea in the last few days after enquiring about 18-year-old Italian starlet Fabio Borini. Hammond told the Chronicle: "I think it is highly unlikely something will happen before the deadline. "We have been asking questions about players but they weren't available and we're not bringing players in for the sake of it." Meanwhile, Icelandic trialist Gunnar Thordvalsson scored twice for Reading reserves today in a 2-1 win over Bristol Rovers in a behind-closed-doors friendly. Shane Long and Chris Armstrong also continued their recoveries with 90 minutes each. Long should be available for Saturday's trip to Derby County while fellow striker Simon Church is also hopeful of making the trip to Pride Park despite limping out of last weekend's 2-1 home win against Blackpool. For all the latest Royals news buy the Chronicle this Thursday. http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/roundup/articles/2009/11/25/43151-hammond-cools-loan-striker-interest/ this sounds promising, but they still have old rasiak dont they? means they will score regardless of how well snoop dog and barker are playing!

CumbrianRam Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Derby County manager Nigel Clough is set to leave out left-back Dean Moxey, and midfielder Stephen Pearson is struggling with a groin injury. Moxey has been an ever-present in the league this term but Clough is eager to rest him so Jay McEveley is on standby. Reading manager Brendan Rodgers could have striker Shane Long and Chris Armstrong back in his squad. Long has had an ankle problem and left-back Armstrong (knee) has not played a league game this season. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/8374526.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I hope Moxey has been dropped rather than rested. We're only 4 months into the season, one of those months he's had his feet up with the international breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
