Dundee United also want him. They had him last year on loan. Reading will let him go for nothing apparently and save £5k a week in wages on a player who has only featured 17 times for Reading since first joining in 2018. He has been loaned out 4 times since then.
Just read that Lucas Joao dislocated his shoulder on Saturday for the third time in his career and the second time this calendar year. Does not bode well long term if its not operated on.
I predicted something like this happening nearly a year ago to the day. It didn't exactly take Mystic Meg to work out what lay ahead. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/...De0khlnkOT8D-1ylP_zDmBy7RyxGhk6WwkNlmwiPA5tYM
To be honest Reading were always a 3rd-4th tier club in the 70's with a few soujourns into the old Second Division until Madjeski appeared on the scene.
Their current owner has previous. Bought a club in China that went bust. Bought a club in Belgium that also went bust.
usual reason - incompetence/corruption - it looks like Rochdale are being taken over by another "fit and proper" owner as well - https://www.rochdaleonline.co.uk/ne...aim-to-acquire-40pc-of-shares-in-rochdale-afc Be interesting to see how that pans out.
Who’s the guy with the dreadlocks? Probably the best championship player we faced last season for all round performance.
But there is absolutely no chance Dundee United could afford a fraction of the wages he is accustomed to. He’d have to accept a huge drop in wages and I’m not sure he will do that.
Buendia at Carrow Road was different gravy, but you're right about Olise, he dominated both games against us. Very good player, another exciting talent for Palace alongside Eze and Zaha etc.
Their average attendance has dropped by 1,300.... https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/19534729.reading-fcs-crowds-compare-pre-pandemic/ Nice stat within the link that we are one of only three sides still in this league who have seen their average attendance rise from pre covid.
