Whether it's down to injuries or form, signing a one year deal at Cambridge is quite a career decline.
He was in L1 two years ago, he is again.
Pretty standard to be honest, average Championship player ends up in L1 in his late 20s.
It's hardly Champions League to non-league or anything.
True, but Wigan 2 years ago were a "good side" at this level, one which won the title.
Cambridge are a team who will be fighting to avoid the drop, especially as they seem to be losing their best players.
I guess it is a bit similar to the Hector situation. Has been playing at a higher level and probably feels he should be but hasn't been playing much recently. He wants to play and show off his skills so he can try and secure that next move higher up at the end of next season.
Proper old school rumour that. A sighting! Haha if you wanted to make it something more you’d add that Lanzini is settled in south east London. And Peter Storrie, with his hammers links, convinced him to come for a trial.
Interesting that two clubs have had to cancel pre season friendlies due to lack of players .. Barnsley last week and today Morecombe have announced a postponement ……… good job that’s not us can you imagine the melt down
Game v Chatham was cancelled
Reading also had a game against Bristol City called off.
Their flight home from a pre-season training trip Alicante was cancelled and they didn't have enough players in the country.
No rumour but a striker on loan worth a punt is Max Watters of Cardiff. Had a great loan spell at MK Dons and although not so good at Barnsley shows promise. . Unlikely to feature again for Cardiff this season so for a loan place could do a job.
Wouldn't mind Amos as CDM depth but he's been injured a lot whilst at QPR . Think Smith will go elsewhere unfortunately.
Smith seems realistic to me, if he’s waiting for Championship offers that now looks unlikely. Are there many L1 clubs throwing big money around?
I don't see where he fits into a 352 when we already have may. Won't join to sit on the bench.
Still room for a second striker to come in with Leaburn and Aneke missing the start of the season, no reason he can't join and play alongside May with Leaburn and Aneke to force there way back in once fit again.

True, I didn't realise he was 6ft1. Left footed too. Aneke I'd be surprised if we see again.
I'd still love to see Nombe but he won't be cheap - alternative would be Smith or would like to see us go after Stansfield on a loan deal. Think him and May together would do some serious damage.

Any player we're linked with gets comments about the their injury/scoring record.
Perm deal too - Shame wouldn't have been a bad option for us as a Full-Back, can play either side too
Least it leaves you hoping that we must have our sights set higher
Lives in Marbella looking for a new club after Hammers release
Nice bloke
Manuel Lanzini , Argentine attacking midfielder that was at West Ham

I wonder if Jordan Cousins will revert to CB now his legs have gone !
As Still only 29 it must be the injuries that have slowed him down.
Not especially, unless he goes back to Reading now their embargo has lifted.
