    I still believe we'll get back up there and win something! I can't help it. Man City, Leicester, Southampton and Forest have all risen from the depths we're at and come good.

    I think the key to getting it right will be the Academy though and starting to produce playable and saleable assets like Southampton do.

    Quotes from The Reading Chronicle

    "It’s a nice homecoming," he beamed. "I’m from Windsor so I used to pop down here when I wasn’t playing and watch when I was a kid. I’ve had friends that have come here, and I scored here on my 30th birthday so it’s always good memories.

    "I’m delighted. It took a while to get over the line, but I knew I was staying so it was nice. Everyone has treated me really well; I couldn’t thank everyone enough."

    "It’s a challenge, and I will never shy away from a challenge. To be successful at this club this year, to stay up and be part of something and together in that dressing room, my character is good for that. It’s important we all stick together at the club; it’s going to be a tough season, but we’ll try our hardest day in day out.

    "Nothing fazes me, I just wanted to play football in an environment that was comfortable and near my children. If you would have asked me when I left Sheffield Wednesday where I would want to go, it would’ve been Reading. I can’t speak highly enough of the club."

     

    Not sure I believe the last line..... But good luck to him. 

     

    Reading or QPR were always his preference mate given his family are now Berkshire based once again. Will probably get a job coaching kids at Chelsea when he's finished playing

    Sounds like he's had a reyt tough time with a lot of suffering poor bloke. Really glad he's sorting things out and on the road to recovery! It will have helped a lot of people that interview.

    Considering the very dark problems he was going through during his time with us it's pretty incredible some of the top performances he managed on the pitch!

    Now we’ve signed Bakinson.

    Might as well keep FDB, if we get promoted it will be worth potentially losing him on a free. We could offer him a better deal following a promotion and if he has a good season there will be better clubs than Blackpool and Norwich coming in for him so it suits all parties.

    On Bakinson, shrewd signing with a point to prove. Love how Big Daz is getting some proper height into the side, far less set piece/balls pumped into the box late on to worry about!

    Wednesday spell ruined Lewis McGugan

    Carlos gave him the number 10 shirt and started him ahead of Lee in the first game of the season at home to Bristol City (and probably the first few games, without checking) so it's not like he didn't give him an opportunity.

    It'll have been down to McGugan's attitude and unwillingness to work hard or follow the game plan surely. Similarly, I'm not buying into other clubs wouldn't give him a chance, just sounds like excuses.
