    To be fair to the club, they have forked out £9m for a striker only in January, to compete with our £15m striker. We have another striker the club paid £8m for.

    The new striker will be third choice when fit and may be further down if Cleary develops and the new gaffer plays him (as Bruce won’t).

    Point is, you can understand the club for not wanting to shell out £5-£10m.

    One goal in 2 for Reading! That’s a decent record, that said he will be on the treatment table within a week!

    Cold snap coming soon so Phillips will be in the treatment room too! Can anyone tread on Livermore’s big toe so the useless f ucker can join the party!

    By todays standards all of those figures are Mickey Mouse amounts. We should be looking at at least £25,000,000 for a decent striker. We NEVER pay what other ambitious clubs pay. We ALWAYS buy on the cheap.

    Which club is spending that amount of cash in the championship? The record signing in this league is about £10m shy of that figure.

    Look at the signings this season across the league. Mostly loans, frees or cheap deals. The odd £3-£5m deal where a club has sold a big player for multi millions.

    It would be nice if the club spend £25m but it’s never going to happen. We still have one of the most expensive strikeforces in the league.

    Of all the rubbish so far linked to us I would sadly say Grabban is the best of a bad bunch. Has Andy Caarroll retired or found a club?

    Now come on Matt, you know how it works on this site.

    It is no good using facts and sensible comments to make a point, no one is going to respond to that.

    Far better to just keep on having rants and throwing out unsubstantiated criticism and arguments time and time again.

    Well done. I for one agree with you.

    Fact is Livermore, Zohore , Phillips and Robinson are on very large salaries. Another fact - all four are f uckin ****e!

    An extra fact - our recruitment dept have white sticks!

    Another fact. We looked better when Livermore was on the pitch against Cardiff the other night 😉 .
