I don't understand you. You originally said you've never advocated spending TB's money, now you are saying it is a worthwhile payment?
There are no guarantees such a loan payment will work anyway. How many Premier League games will Reading be playing next season for their £2.5 million?
This however contradicts with
When you make a loan signing you (a) Pay a loan fee (see the £2.5 million comment about Vydra above) and (b) Pay wages to the player. This money comes from Tony Bloom, there's no extra funds coming from fans, sponsors or TV to pay it.
How do you we didn't?
Approaches were made, you only have to look at the comments made by CH to realise that.
Those approaches were rejected. Reading paid a £2.5 million loan fee for a striker this season, and look where it's got them.
The Albion are (I suspect) going to announce record...
Agreed, his hold up play, lay offs and linkage were superb.
He struggles to win much against mountainous centre halves, but we should be playing more to his feet to bring out his best qualities.
