PistoldPete2 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Good news on the youngsters. Surprised that Pearce has been offered one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two of them can I see getting a new contract maybe. Obviously Thorne and Forsyth and only if they can get fit and start playing What about Baird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a potential free season ticket offer for the Premier League was met mainly with cynicism I think that should tell you all you need to know about the mindset of a number of people that post on the forum.

EnigmaRam Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 A reasonable deal for these players and I agree with the reasoned arguments FOR giving Pearce an extra year. Seems like shackell won't be here and probably Baird and Bent. will be interesting to see what happens with Russell and I guess they are waiting on how Thorne and Fozzy do over the next month or 2 to see if they are back to there high standards.

BramcoteRam84 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Pearce captained Reading to win this division and captained them in the Premier league, 29 years old as opposed to a 33 injury prone shacks? And people question the contract extension?? It seems any decision Rowett makes at the moment gets criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG400 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I am happy for Bennett , feel like he is bashing a lost cause at the moment , watching players who have had plenty of chances keeping getting ahead of him, would like to see him in place of Weimann and Russell and given a chance for a continuous run of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEL Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'd imagine that Pearce contract extension is we could get some fees should we sell him in January/or in the summer 2018. Bird and Guy deserved it so hopefully we will be able to see more of them to play in the first team. Bennett Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a few posters have pointed out, a simple company search would have informed the officials that it's a shell cooperation, an organization without any financial means to carry out the deal. Ray Houghton's an ex-player turned pundit and he doesn't even know the offside rule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
