Hemed to Reading?

[Dave the OAP]

can you imagine the meltdown on here if we don't spunk countless millions on some journeyman striker no-one has ever heard of

Why don't we play that young lad who scored in the micky mouse cup last week...people said he was a decent player?

He is. James Tilley. But he's not a lone, out and out striker in Murray/Hemed mould for starters.

Although some big deals have fallen through, I don't think the recruitment team are THAT stupid.

A premier league Quality striker costs MILLIONS. Chris Hughton is good, But you can't expect miracles from him without support. and that means Spending BIG!.

 

[Bra]

Not sure of the point of the Argus article. Would be suicide to sell our only fit forward. Unless we are slowly being prepared for no inbound strikers with stuff like this. And yes I am worried

 

[AZ Gull]

Are Reading still receiving parachute payments?

No, 2016-17 was their last season of parachute payments.

 

[timbha]

I'm not worried. I have the same faith in hughton, bloom, winstanley, etc that I had last season and when we lost Duffy and Goldson they were able to bring in someone even though the transfer window was shut (ultimately he wasn't needed). I'm confident they won't let hemed go without cover. I'm also confident that naylor is in their pocket (he needs the Albion more than we need him) and they drip feed him info on their terms.
Time will tell!

£8 million for a 30 year old with one year left on his contract would be incredible business. Providing we bring in two strikers, of course...

 

[Honky Tonx]

Whilst all this talk and speculation about Tomer Hamed is going on, I would like to say that he acting with dignity and true professionalism. No transfer requests or toys being thrown out of the pram, he simply get on with his job. A credit to himself and his family. Well done young man.

Would be amazing business.

Seems to me there's a queue forming.

Perez from Arsenal to Deportivo

Andone from Deportivo to Brighton

Hemed from Brighton to Reading (if we also have a second striker lined up, e.g. Niasse loan)

Not much time - 30 hours.

True, a good bloke and a key part of our success.

But why hand in a transfer request to drop a division to a club unlikely to be promoted?

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I will miss Tomas Hemed if he does go but if we do get two decent strikers in it is the correct decision for all concerned.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Dreadful state of affairs if we have to hold on to the bloke who is almost universally acknowledged to be not up to the task at this level, simply because he's Last Striker Standing.

Me too - I like Tomer a lot and I am sure he would get a few goals in the PL if you played him. I just think that there are better players around and you have to keep trying to improve the squad constantly.

True, But he won't get a bigger/better club then ours interested in him.

Plenty of players would hand in request, sulk and refuse to play in his situation.

To move down a level?

Did Derby 2007/08 and Boro 2016/17 have any able strikers, or are we creating PL history here?
