Tanno, Vicente and CMS due at press conference today

[Deleted User X18H]

So what did Vicente say for gawds sake!

You won't get a dickie bird until Saturday.

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Apparently what Vicente said is embargoed until Saturday! Perhaps someone could just give a thumbs up or thumbs down?

The wait will do you good.

This press conference should be on Seagulls Player?

 

[Kumquat]

You won't get a dickie bird until Saturday.

What was the context?

 

[Mellotron]

I know transfer fees are not the only cost, but according to Sky News last night, Reading only spent £1.74M - far less than us.

But I'm guessing in the previous FIVE seasons before that, they spent more than us EVERY season? They've built up a quality squad over a LOT longer timeframe than us.

 

[Deleted member 22389]

I reckon Vicente is staying for another season.

 

[KNC]

This season, we have be gloriously and consistently inconsistent.

No defeat for the first eight games, then no wins in nine, then four wins in five, then four straight defeats, then undefeated in 14, now no wins in seven...

Mad, but you know - f*** it...

I like the cut of your jib.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

If Vicente stays for another season I'm getting that sexy mofo's name on the back of my albion shirt.

 

[Paskman]

Please may that be true!

Brian put the hard work in. Maybe best you grab an Argus on Saturday.

 

[Mr Banana]

You can't force media to embargo something if it's already been said in public. Although if there is something The Argus will probably stick to embargo, and the club seems to prefer releasing stuff on a Satdi morning, in the same way The FA does on Satdi evenings.

I was surprised Vicente knew the phrase "you won't get a dickie bird" that's all. His english is really improving.

 

[cmonbarrybringonwoody!]

He was de primeria. We had to wait a while for Vicente. CMS was long gone to training by then.

Why did you have to wait? was he hobbling in on crutches?

Plus of course the odd parachute payment from the Premiership might mean that they can afford to keep their quality players, not flog them to Norwich ( Crofts ) or errrr Norwich ( again ) ( Bennett ).

I'll remind everyone that Reading were losing play-off finalists last season, so there really wasn't anything wrong with their squad to start with.

First question: Vicente; "How's the English coming along?"
Reply: "My hovercraft is full of eels"

Genius!

That's a bit too simplistic a comparison. What did they spend in the seasons before this on players who are still there?

What did they pay in signing-on fees, and what are they spending on wages? Could be much more than us.

Agree sure if had gone WDL WDL WDL etc I would have a completely different outlook on things

As it is, it's W17 D13 L14. So we've got the equivalent of not far off it.

More wins that defeats this season.

I doubt you'll ever get John Madjeski to reveal the real figures, he's far too canny for that.

Everyone has had a season to work us out. Even if we strengthen, we could find it a load harder simply because successful tactics against us this season will be more widely adopted. We've been a bit of an unknown quantity, and while it is always tough, it is going to be tougher still. I actually worry for us a bit next season unless we strengthen the spine of our team from the keeper to the centre forward.
