‘Between clubs’ sounds like it’s Reading moving the goalposts?
I read a comment online from someone supposedly "ITK" suggesting that Reading were milking as much as they could from the deal to aid their own transfer business. Maybe we walked away.
Risky game to play, didn’t seem like that many other clubs are in for him
1. If we’ve walked away, I trust we’ve done so with good reason. Our business so far has been excellent and if anything it’s good to see we aren’t being silly with our money.
2. We absolutely need someone with similar quality coming in for the CM role. We look light at the moment, with JRC and Coventry being the only two I’d feel confident starting.
We await @Goddenole ‘s insight. He got it right with Kelman and the Asian link - want hear what they have to say re: Knibbs.
And of those three, only Kelman in the bag so far. I don't know for sure but in a highly competitive, fast moving sport, it does seem to highlight the risk of early leaks. Fans can be their own worst enemy sometimes.
Two many different stories being banded around, Hunt has made it sound like it was Knibbs choice or along the lines of it wasn’t right? Reading press saying the clubs couldn’t agree, let’s wait to hear. Very disappointing but we will move on to other targets, hoping Donley is on the list.
Maybe other clubs thought we were skint as many journalists appear to have thought. The Kelman signing may have pricked Readings ears and they got silly with the asking price all of a sudden. We move on
Yeah maybe a failed medical. Kinda hope it is that rather than him turning us down.
I would be very surprised if he failed a medical based on some of the players that have got through the net here even recently.
He's been ever present for 4 seasons, passed medicals with Cambridge and Reading.
Will be interesting to see if we find out more or it will be left there. I hope it's something that isn't completely dead and a deal that can still be made, but that seems very unlikely, not something that happens often in football.
This is tough, that would have been the business of the summer and he was everything we needed in this team, have to hope we have alternatives now
Apparently has a knee issue but yeah gutted about this one falling through, just as everything was looking up.
But come on, Burke is made of glass (already injured) and Bell has just come back from an injury, plus Potts managed to get through a medical.
Even if something did flag up, surely it can be 'managed' like we have done with other players, especially for one that's made almost 200 apps in 4 seasons.
It was all reported that Reading had agreed a fee so it would be cheeky if Reading upping their price was the reason.
Ah well, on with the day, cakes on offer at Tesco, that seems like a good idea for now.
Hahaha these ‘ITK’s’ saying it was a done and he’d signed and completed his medical. People parroting off others pretending to be read in.
No bigger clown than this one on the other forum ‘as I have been saying all week he has signed’ it’s genuinely sad when grown men try to pretend to be in the know
Agreed, embarrassing. Few people have been caught right out on this one.
My fave part was him having a pop at this forum in a bid to get goddenole to stay on their rather than posting here.

not played yet in pre season, last couple because he was said to be in talks, but the first couple were because of a niggle I'd read.
