Yes didn't you try and sign Hemed last summer? So it would make sense to make Hemed as part of any deal. Seems to be a step closer if your getting O'Shea in as a replacement.

Good championship forward, needs to play off a big man though. Very intelligent player who creates as well as scores. Needs a move as not playing, so this could be a move that suit both parties

Sam Baldock would make a great signing for any Championship club. Not an out and out striker these days, operates more as a number 10, but has pace and creates more goals than he scores.
The question is, do l really want to see him go? Ne hasn't had the chance to perform for us in the Premier League, but l have the feeling that he might surprise a few people and do a good job, given the chance.

So we could be looking at Baldock and Goldson out, Moore in.
Thats 2 HGP out, one in.
We are already short on HGP.

I agree with what the others have said about Baldock. He's one of those players that can often be most effective when without the ball. His movement is excellent, and he stretches defences all over the place (as one example, look back at the goal he scored at The Amex against you in our promotion season). He works hard, and his finishing is good at Championship level. Only worth signing if you're going to play two up-front, which is an increasingly popular formation in the Championship, but not one associated with Clement. Needs to move from here, as we won't play two up-front for 90%+, probably 95%+, of the time in the PL.

We may need 2 HGP keepers, which is delaying the contract decision for Maenpaa.

Well, like you and Baldock, l don't know Bodvarsson that well, but if he is a big man and can hold the ball up, thus bringing Baldock into play, then yes they could score plenty of goals betwwen them.
Hemed and Baldock, and later Murray and Baldock were potent combinations, so no reason at all why he can't do the same for you.

Seems too cheap to me but who knows what the real fee may be if he goes. An excellent prospect at a good age, I feel £6m plus is nearer the mark for me

Reading could do a lot worse than trying to swap Moore for Goldson and Baldock. They'd be losing (presumably)their best player but would gain a very capable replacement in Goldson and an excellent player in Baldock. He's not a scorer of a large number of goals but what he brings to the team is worth his weight in gold. He was a large part of us finishing third and second in the championship, his movement, pace and link up play caused most championship defences all kinds of problems.
that would be a win-win-win-win-win wouldn't it? We'd win by getting Moore, Reading would win by getting two quality players for the price of one. Moore would win by getting a move to the premier league. Baldock would win by getting a move to a club where he'll be able to play and contribute as would Goldson who would have the added bonus of moving to a more competitive league than Scotland. Win-win-win-win-win!

Didn't he have a relatively disappointing season?

Not really, he just had to adapt his game somewhat. Premier league defenders aren't as niave as those in the Championship, not so easy to run at. Pluse he had more defensive duties to carry out, helping out the fukll backs.
