Someone changed his wiki page to say that he joined Reading today - ah, the joys of wikipedia

I think the squad is capable of challenging, but I'm not sure that it'll be this year. It'll take a while for us to gel as a team, given the scale of the changes in both squad personnel and management style that has taken place. I think it'll probably be a few months before we see the best of...

Like most on here, I'm really quite impressed by the quality of some of the players that we've acquired in this transfer window, and Burke, Bloom and the board are to be congratulated. The signing of Baldock might be the final piece to our puzzle. I'm also really encouraged by the style of...

Hmm, conflicting stories coming out today. This one, suggesting he is going to Hull, came out this morning too:- http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/hull-finalising-deal-cork-defender-brian-lenihan-4036273#.U_MRQ1Zjods

No real surprise, but it was nice to dream for a little while http://www.vavel.com/en/international-football/germany-bundesliga/378277-kostic-completes-stuttgart-move.html

Although that is not altogether accurate either. The number of recorded anti-Semitic and Islamaphobic 'hate crimes' are roughly equivalent for 2013 (529 and 582 respectively). However, this looks very different when one considers the number of incidents as a proportion of the total population...

I can't help but feel a little sorry for Andy Naylor over this issue. It's clear that he had a source who he regarded as reliable, but who seriously let him down with the information about these transfers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that his relationship with the club has...

This is a really good point - which is why included the year of transfer above. After inflation, Lawrenson's transfer would have been worth nearly £3.5million in today's money (see...

Not that this makes the blindest bit of difference, but Ulloa's transfer made me wonder about our record transfer fees for players. Am I correct in thinking the following would be our 'record transfers'? (I'm aware that some of the sums quoted were 'undisclosed' and based on press speculation)...

You can't really begrudge either Ulloa or Upson the chance to play in the Premier League. Both gave it their all whilst they were with us, and I for one wish them nothing but the best for the future. The image of Leo fighting his way through the Derby fans to applaud the travelling support in...

They seem to be spending big on the striker front. £3m on Kiki, £1.5m on Lee Tomlin and now going in with bids of €4m for Vossen. That's an awful lot of money at this level. Can they afford it, or are they playing fast and loose with FFP rules...

Ten by Pearl Jam 1. Once 2. Even Flow 3. Alive 4. Why Go 5. Black The intro riff to the album that finds it way to the end of the last song (Release) also makes for a nice arc.

The whole situation is rather sad and intractable. The only viable and enduring resolution is a two state solution, which neither side really seem to want to sign up to - its such a shame, as there did seem to be considerable popular support for the notion as recently as the mid/late-2000s...

Looks like we'll be seeing Hall again next season - it'll be interesting to see how far he's progressed http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27742277

This. In some respects, he might be a better fit for us than Hyypia. That said, I would love to see what Hyypia could build here.

The Independent ran a profile piece on him a couple of years ago. His management pedigree is pretty good and would seem to appeal to Bloom and the board: "Garde, who was on the coaching staff [at Lyon] for several title-winning years but more recently was running the academy, stepped up with...

Hopefully we'll have the edge over Middlesborough, if not Burnley or Sunderland. Interesting article, the most surprising note of which suggests that Ward is on £12,000 a week - I would think that we'd be prepared to match that, especially since we paid it all last season...
