Who knew his middle name was David?2

Reckon a new signing follows0

Okay, genuinely though. I got told from a friend who has no previous of any inside knowledge about the club, that there will be a player in the stands tonight that we’re hopeful of signing.
I very much doubt it. But it has happened in the past, such as Williams last year. So I guess we will see.6 -
Weirdly 3 years.0

Would hope that now Lee has committed his future, signings will follow0

FFS. I was hoping Page had signed for another 3 years.stonemuse said:3 -
I am fine with three years, but does pose the question why they even mentioned a term in the press conference. 3 years is the right amount for both sides and just glad it is done. Hopefully a positive bounce tonight for the game and we can get something out of it.1

Three years is right.1

3.5 years remember, that a decent length of contract for this day and age.
Now I wanna see that pen 🖊 picture appear from the twitter account a few more times over the next 9 days.0 -
Sack your agent lee, the chairman (rumour) offered 5 😂😂0

Fantastic news, just what the club needs, and I believe we will just go from strength to strength from here.
@Ollywozere - What filter is the club using on the instagram posts at the moment it makes me want to scratch my eyes out.0 -
Bowyer in the programme notes: "Come the end of January, we will be stronger."

stronger = injured players back8
-
Has anyone got hold of a programme, could they explain to me what Bowyer said in the notes?3
-
Should be a couple of loans and hopefully a couple of permanents over the next ten days. Can see things moving a lot quicker now Bowyer has his contract.6

Id be happy with that if they stay fit for the rest of the seasonlancashire lad said:stronger = injured players back
Wouldnt be delighted but the players we've got are good enough to keep us up3 -
The argument there are 20 players at London clubs with no chance of "playing regularly" for their first teams this season who would get a game in our current team is probably valid but the January transfer has operated largely with the same disciplines for several years.
Just what is our likely recruitment market? Take a look at the League Tables.
In the Championship.
- clubs within 3 wins of the play offs go down Derby in 15th
- clubs within 3 defeats of relegation with Wigans' game in hand go up to Middlesboro in 17thIn League 1
- clubs within 3 wins of the play offs go down Shrewsbury in 16th
- clubs within 3 defeats of relegation go up to Accrington in 17thThe clubs in either scenario are not going to simply write their season off by releasing first team or even key squad players without a suitable replacement lined up (which creates a chain effect) or an over inflated price unless they have a major financial need, the club is operated by Roland Duchatelet and/or the player is out of contract in 6 months.
Across the two divisions it leaves you with the choice of the Reading Squad.
If you want to focus on the players with expiring contracts go look at the list of "Out of contract players 2020" on Transfermarkt in the Championship or League 1.It is not necessarily totally accurate but nor is it an over inspiring list or indeed a specific criteria on which you can judge availability. It lists Grant Hall at QPR for example who features regularly and is the team captain
What churn there will be is because clubs and managers have injuries and/or like to freshen their squads but in virtually every scenario nobody is likely to pull the trigger until the end of the month, if for no other reason than protecting their own arse.
Deadline day plays to such agenda by literally showing "it was the best deal I could get in the timeline".
It is extremely frustrating because of our exceptional needs but the reality is you only get to spend the money once.
Lets all hope it will play out to our advantage over the coming days.

ESPN says ManU want Jude Bellingham from Birmingham. Will pay £25M. Needless to say they would have all the money they need to get Maddison (or anyone else they want) after that.0

Grapevine posts at 6.50, less than an hour till kick off. How am I supposed to read and digest that?13

It's only a couple of hundred words, his dinner was ready so you'll be fine 😉.LargeAddick said:Grapevine posts at 6.50, less than an hour till kick off. How am I supposed to read and digest that?0 -
Anyone spot our next signing in the crowd? I think Fulhams is sitting behind their dugout wearing a Danish beanie hat?1

We signed the likes of Williams and JFC (not quite London), even Page, from premier league clubs in league 1. They were in the last year of thier contracts. In those 3 there was a 6 month contract and more long term deals. No one likes not playing, clubs help by paying them out, they put them selves in the shop window. It's some times win win.Grapevine49 said:The argument there are 20 players at London clubs with no chance of "playing regularly" for their first teams this season who would get a game in our current team is probably valid but the January transfer has operated largely with the same disciplines for several years.

Page was young though and had already been on loan to a club in the same league. Brighton were a champ club.Cafc43v3r said:
