Yes please . I rate him.

He is a big lump to aim for

 

[OX14]

Des in Oxford Mail: “We’re hopeful to have someone in by the weekend. We’ve done as much as we can, and we’ll now wait and see.”

That was what he said in his post match interview on wasn't at the game.

an older head wouldn't go amiss

Have we not go enough of this in Eastwood, Bennett, Long, Leigh, Bodin, Henry and McEachran? Think the last thing we need is a another player who looks like they're running in treacle when they try to break out of a jog.

I know it has been mentioned at length on previous pages but it might be worth trying to extract 1 or 2 of Readings better players at a discounted price due to their financial problems. There are no relocation problems and potentially opportunistic value. For example Charlie Savage as CDM at 22 with good potential, a Wales international and supposedly a really good attitude. There was no transfer fee when they acquired him from MU but a 50% sell-on clause. Would £200k be value for us and good for Reading with accompanying wage reduction

Charlie Savage signed a contract at Reading that included a salary increase based on starts to encourage performance based reward. He’s 1 start away from that milestone - you’ll note he’s not started a league game in a long time.
Intentional and instructed to avoid triggering the increase. Player suffering as he’s moved down, left family and GF behind, being treated poorly.

Plus we have Moore - nearly 200 apps, Brannagan - over 250 apps, Long - nearly 200 apps . We are not short on experience, we're short on pace and robust players.

Didn't Kassam do that with Bradbury. We had a severely depleted squad at the time, IIRC.

It was similar. IIRC it was a a one year contract extension triggered by a certain number of games played.

Edit: A quick bit of maths would suggest it was either more than 40 appearances in the league or 45 appearances in the whole season.

Charlie Savage is one player we have to take a look at. He’s no doubt up for a fresh challenge and is no doubt fed up with the current situation at Reading. The set up at Oxford must appeal to him

 

[North Wales Yellow]

Ricardinho also if memory serves me correctly. A clause was triggered by number of starts so Robinson kept bringing him off the bench. What a player he was!

Didn't we f*ck it up with a player once as well? Alex Jeannin?
Wasn't supposed to play as it would have triggered an extension but we did it anyway?

 

[Carpy]

Yes he was

he'd know he was getting paid if he came here

 

[Royalstandard74]

Just watched YouTube highlights of him .Take a look.

To be fair, what ever standard of football you're competing in, there's some great strikes there.

 

[Shosho]

Callum Lang had a mention at all?

 

[tatabanya]

Scott Twine to Bristol City, wonder if that opens the door for Mehmehti to leave on loan

 

[andystroud]

Yep

Callum Lang looks like he’s leaving Wigan.

Although he’s not set it alight this season, Would be a good addition for the wing and ST cover

I'd take Godo from Wigan too... only 20 but remember him looking really good last time we played them.

He’s also been mentioned before. On loan from Fulham

Definitely not, he’s crap, and weak.

Would be a non-league player if his surname wasn't Savage.
