Moore is presumably on Reading's tour of Austria now. So unless news comes through of him leaving the tour, then he's not singing this week.

Seen in the papers today that Saloman Rondon has a £16.5m release clause in his contract. If we can move on Hemed and Baldock surely that has to be worth exploring given he's a proven PL goalscorer?

7 goals in 36 appearances last season. 24 in 108 in total. He isn't really a goalscorer is he, more a hold it up for others type.

Rondon is decent despite the bad press on here. Not sure how he would be if not first choice though

Would like to see one of Hemed or Baldock moved on and another striker . Tau would of been ideal but loaning out changes my mind. Someone similar , not expecting first team but real potential to push the others. Young, pacey and stepping up.

Jahanbakhsh is supposedly making his mind up on Friday as to which club he'll join.

Leicester must be favourites.

Pros
More money
Recent title winners

Cons
Living in Leicester

I think it's still in the balance.

Money will swing it obviously, but it does seem like a lot of players are on the way out at Leicester...

Not sure recent title winners is relevant to him as they are extremely unlikely to do it again. What may be relevant, if it is truly between us and Leicester (and I've seen no suggestion we are still interested in the last few weeks), would be first team football. He would almost certainly get that with us but would he at Leicester (they still potentially have a lot of money to spend from the Mahrez sale)?

Overall, I think he would choose them but that might affect it in our favour.

Are we still in the hunt then? Completely given up on this one happening TBH

No idea if we are or not - it's just that supposedly he's announcing which club he'll join on Friday. We may or may not even be in the running.

I assume we're in the hunt for a winger. With Skalak not featuring last season, we only really have Knockaert, Izquierdo and March as wingers and, since we tend to play two of them, it leaves us with no cover if one is injured, suspended or loses form. Judging by Albion's usual methods, it may well be someone who's not been mentioned before when we do sign them!

So six signed to date. Still need another 3 in I think. CB, Liam Moore? A winger and another number 10.

I think that is probably the ideal target, but even if we get no more in - assuming Ben White can step up as 5th choice central defender ( if we count Bernardo as emergency 4th ) - then we are already in pretty good shape.

I agree with CB (Moore?) and winger required ONLY...
