Monroe Transfer

Hardly the end of the world but doesn't make for pretty reading, they're a division 3 German team.

High res version:

Why can't you just post it on here?

Think they've got enough man power and resources to cover all such business tbh

Do the club think they've already shown it officially or something? Bit of a shambles this pre-season in terms of getting friendlies sorted and kit announced.

Is that not a handbag to the left of Cisse one rwo back?

Well qualified for the CL play-offs, guess they're not waiting around to ensure qualification though.

Didn't Shevchenko cost Chelsea £32m when he went there, around when he was 30?

Menez also. And, er, Gameiro...

Let's hope they do nothing of note in any competition. Montpellier beating them to the title was a beautiful moment.

We'll get someone in man. A good 7 weeks left of this transfer window, and any delay is partly down to the Euros. Potential selling clubs probably already know that we're after players in certain positions.

Remember some saying that QPR sort of bought their way to eventual promotion to be fair, but then on the other hand they hardly went crazy with the money. I think Faurlin was their biggest signing whilst in Championship.

Some ridiculous posing going on there. Wouldn't want to fuck with Bale or Livermore.

I've never had a problem with QPR tbh, not sure why anyone would. Inoffensive as they come nowadays.

The same as they pay for all the other advertising they do? As in nothing.

Would assume that Ryan Taylor, Tav, Perch and Dummett (I think) would be our FB cover if we bring in Debuchy. Only thing Simpson has over Debuchy is that he's a year younger. Don't think it's been confirmed anywhere, but it sounds likely.... http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/football/articles/2012/07/12/60937-reading-fc-on-verge-of-double-signing/

Same with my uni city (Lincoln) whenever I go back there. Really quite sad, a lot of the good pubs/bars have closed or been turned into restuarants. There is I think literally just one half-decent place to watch the football in now. I'd have thought things would improve over time (seeing as the uni gets bigger and bigger), not get worse. Love the place but couldn't live there any more, it's too small.

You counting down the minutes, closet Spurs fan?

UM loves his pop music in the morning and Moyles' inane chat gets in the way of it.

Not officially they haven't.

Couple of other clubs (Spurs for one, Sunderland home as well I think etc) slow to show off new kits as well. Very slightly strange.

Am not worried, long as we don't end up doing all our business at the end of August. That said I feel slightly contradictory as whilst I respect the transfer policy the club have in place (i.e. that we won't pay over the odds for a player, but are willing to make revised bids), if it takes an extra £1m or so to secure the likes of Debuchy then I'd rather we just bit the bullet and gave in to Lille's demands a little.

One body? Bit disappointing that. This time last year we'd made 4 first team signings. Hardly panicking yet and anyone who is needs to give their heads a shake but I'd like new players in as possible to get on board for pre-season. Long season ahead of us, need to be as best prepared as possible.

Where is Jan?
