tinman Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Most of the premier league clubs are on tour somewhere around the world so players to be loaned out will be with them. Dobbin was with Everton on tour this time last year for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 It has to be harder to get loan players in league one unless they are football babies with all the premiership and the championship having 9 substitute options every week - grounds like Bournmouth and Luton will be nearly full just with teams.

Kernow Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If we are looking at loans then I think we still need to be realistic about the kind of player we can attract. I know Carlos Borges was suggested a few times after he absolutely ripped us to shreds in the Pizza Cup last season. He’s seemingly on the verge of joining West Ham for £14mil. Football is now at a state where top academies can sell youth players who are yet to make a senior appearance for around 1/3 of what David Clowes paid for our entire club. angieram and SFox1993 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobram Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Lewis wing always seems to score against us. Always looks a handful. Reading linked with hijacking the deal from qpr.

TomTom92 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Wing would be ideal. But just can’t see us pulling out the gazumping card. Doesn’t seem our style these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If it's reading, can't we just wait for the deal to fall apart as they fail to pay for the medical? 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfcreece1601 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Joshua cobern from boro , 20 years old scored 10 in 35 for Bristol Rovers this year , think he'd get nearly double in a better team like ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Reading do seem to be putting a decent side together. Which is crazy considering all their financial problems. Just seem to have the embargo removed then carry on as normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have very nice training facilities, stadium and 30k fans but it's a new house and a new city (which ours is looking more of a **** hole every time you go into it) I do sometimes wonder if that genuinely puts players off, can't just take them to Duffield and hope they don't see the town 😂 Turk Thrust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was clearly making a comparison to our last summer, as that is more relevant to Reading this summer. Knibbs and Smith both under 25, Wing under 30 And my original comment was about them seemingly putting together a good side, not that they’ve already done it.

I moved from Derby ( born and bred) 40 years ago and in the occasional times I return, I feel so sad to see the state of the city. Looks really run down. And as for the beautiful Friargate bridge, don’t get me started. I can understand why footballers would be put off. YouRams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Greenwood Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Not sure why people are banging on about Lewis Wing. Apart from a decent spell at Wycombe last season the rest of his career is very ordinary looking at Wiki for a 28 year old . Not rated by Boro and Wednesday fans , I’ve probably only seen him play a couple of times and not really noticed him. Could be a late developer and L1 is his level but nothing he has done so far suggests he will be a game changer for whoever he signs for . Obviously only my opinion and he might crack in 20 goals from midfield. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
