    Yeah, let's sign him as a job lot with Jordan Cousins, Johnny Williams and Lyle Taylor. 
    The same Cousins who just got promoted with Wigan? 
    The same Cousins who was too old for us last season and we need young and hungry players like Joe Pigott......
    Pigott is  now 28.
    Yes and older than Cousins.  Which is why it was so ridiculous that multiple people made that argument last summer.

    Naby discourse is always entertaining. Because of his bad start, not stopping a goal against Millwall once and generally shitting himself in big matches he's remembered more harshly than he probably should be. That leads some to overrate his contribution in response, which then leads the people who didn't rate him to talk him down even more until there's two very polarised views on him. The reality is he wasn't that bad or that good. He was sometimes very good with the ball - the free kick against Wimbledon, the assist against Forest - and sometimes very bad at defending. He got too nervy in big matches - missed his pen against Doncaster, was a general liability in the PO final even ignoring the own goal - and just tended to provide a varied service. It was never that good or that bad though. He seems nice.

    Can someone check in on @Leuth and make sure he's okay?
  • Was there ever really any doubt that he'd get a championship deal given he played for a play off side last year?

    Only for those who still insist he's a poor player.

    Reading are a Championship team under a transfer embargo meaning they can only bring in freebies and loans they don't pay a loan fee for.  They paid their players late in April and are 3rd favourites for relegation.  Joining them does not suggest he had a lot of Championship interest.

    More than any of our current players or recently left players though right?!

    Can only offer one year deals too, so no security. Agree it’s fair to assume he didn’t many offers on the table as Reading is unlikely to be a lucrative one

    He's a replacement at Reading for Michael Morrison!

    Washington has probably got a better gig, that’s about it.
  • Scores on his debut for Reading to beat Millwall.

    Sarr has the same amount of goals as Washington this season.

  • We really are a sad bunch. Celebrating a winner by an ex player for a team no one outside of Berkshire gives a shit about against a side we never fucking beat.

    Naby falls over for Charlton and Smith scores a winner late on.
    Naby scores the winner on his debut for Reading at Millwall.

    It's a cruel game.

    I don't care if he scores a winning goal for Reading the next ten times they play millwall. 
    I still can't forget the last minute goal we conceded at the Den because of him

    No matter how much leuth goes on about him this unfortunately will never be forgotten.

    Not the first to do this.

    Llera scored a winner for the Massives a few seasons ago.

    It's heart-warming to know that when our little fledglings leave the Valley nest they go on to do things that make the world a better place
