The Fun Factory Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Essentially we have paid about 3 million for Tishbola and have sent Bacuna to reading in return a year later. I think they have got the better in this deal. Not a great player, but we may miss his squad versatility this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Bit of a zinger to Bruce there in his statement about joining Reading? Quote “I’m very happy – I think it’s going to be a different step for me, and I’m delighted to get going. There have been a few ups and downs but in the end we got it over the line.” “It’s a really nice step to try and come here to play for Jaap Stam as well. I’m really delighted and I’m really happy that I can start this new journey, to be honest.” “Reading try to play from the back and they’re really patient. I think that will suit me and it will suit the players, I’ll try and do my best to help the team and try to get some wins. http://the72.co.uk/89419/reading-sign-versatile-13-cap-international-player/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the OP. Somwhow that newspaper quote sends shivers down my spine. No wonder we've ended up in such a terrible state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patient play...that will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoof hearted Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So Bacuna has moved to Reading? Next week he might move on to writing and arithmetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets played in lots of positions, but apart from Right Back he's shit in all of them. That's not versatility. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes interesting comment though because even if you think he is shit, maybe its how many of the players actually feel about Bruce's style of football.

Danishlad Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I don't think I've seen this happen before. Picked for the first game of the season, dropped game two and sold before game three. It's chaos in our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 You just know he is going to put the game of his life tonight.
