The reliable championship player. That midfield general, will do.

There's always Keanu Baccus on a free

(@Ghost - Reading activated Femi Azeez's extension clause - https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2024/may/08/retained-list-2024-07may24/ - doesn't mean he's not available, just not on a free) Cheers. Hadn't noticed. Can't say he's absolutely top of my list of dream targets, but he'd have been a brillia...

I have Ogbeta as improving going forwards, wanting in defence. He'd be a no from me, unless they think they can work his defence, better. More critical for me should we go up one. So yeah 2 WB's. I'm fairly sure in MF you've described most of the attributes for MF general, Ghost. I'd be a bit conce...

I've yet to see us victorious!

Had tickets last year and failed a late fitness test with 'flu...and voila, 4-0.

Welcome back, btw.

Na, not buying it

Get thee to Wembley, good sir. You deserve to see us go up.

GhostoftheBok

I would suspect that players "like" Ogbeta and Azeez are more likely candidates than "bigger" names. If we do go up, we will be suddenly swimming in a pond of sizeable fishies. Doesn't mean success is impossible (ask Ian's mate Rob Edwards) but we'll have to be savvy. If we need say five signings, ...

GhostoftheBok

I take it you wouldn't want to sign Ogbeta or Ashworth, then? I've quite liked both, especially Nat, but I can see what you mean. We need players who will raise the ceiling - or indeed the roof. I think Ogbeta is a real talent. If he's the pick, fine. I have real questions about his fitness record,...

Burnley are down. Another big reason I want to go up. One of my favourite fixtures. SPOILER ALERT! I was* trying to do the Likely Lads thing** and avoid the score *As I usually do, I find it makes MotD at least 15x better **For younger readers who may need an explainer: MEumvfKaL_w Weeeeeeeellllll ...

Not so much discussions as Schopenhauerian laments about the futility of attempting to find joy given the inevitability of disappointment because true fulfilment is inescapably unachievable and it's probably Ian Evatt's fault. So just the usual, then. :D Go on then, as it's always educational: whic...

I know you've eyed Wiredu a while. But while I know he can play more than one position, do you think there's scope for another centre-back addition, assuming we have Johnston, Santos, Jones, Toal, Iredale and Forrester contracted next year? I think so. Obviously Johnston needs space to come back, b...

Given my "record" of finals, I've elected to take one for the team, and not go....thank me later.

Na. Get yourself to Wembley, matey.

It's 5 years since Sky had that stupid "count down to extinction" clock up for us. This is our biggest game since then.

We should all be there for it.

GhostoftheBok

Lovely to have you back, Ghost. I was thinking this morning that as it stands, we have four midfielders next season - Sheehan, Thomo, Dempsey and Morley. I assume we'll go for Paris if possible, but that still leaves space for one more. Could be Byers. Just hope we don't get... wait for it... Byers...

GhostoftheBok

Sounds useful, especially when Thomason is suspended! Presumably Paris is the #1 target in midfield. Sheehan is player of the year and everyone else is under a long contract. So I suppose it depends on whether Evatt feels that department is strong enough as is and just needs a reliable Championship...

GhostoftheBok

What type of midfielder is he Ghost? Welcome back btw :) Thomason sort, I suppose. Really committed, runs all day and technically solid. Particularly good in the box on attacking set pieces. Easy to like. Fans never seem to have a bad word to say about him and he's popular with staff/players. Has a...

GhostoftheBok

First "proper" rumour of the summer is George Byers, who just left Sheff Weds on a free after a loan at Blackpool. A midfielder who used to play in Swans' U23s with Josh Sheehan. Quite a few games in the Championship, but with a history of niggly injuries. Played a major part for Wednesday in League...

GhostoftheBok

He'd have 'proven himself' unable to get out of this division... not sure it would create a queue at the door. Yeah, but he'll have admirers. If we don't go up we are almost certain to lose key players and may require a genuine rebuild. I'm really not sure Evatt will fancy it. If that were the case...

GhostoftheBok

Well, given that my birthday falls on the weekend of the final I've given myself a couple of weeks off to enjoy myself. I live over in Yorkshire, but there's a local old chap and his wife who "follow" Wanderers and have family in London and weren't going to go due to travel, so I'm taking them down ...

GhostoftheBok

Fantastic point, considering. Thanks for the seat on the couch, Blu.

The context of what Dion in a slump is doing relative to other players is important.

Na, it was just an ignorant dig. At least own it.

If you've watched Dion and Vic recently and think Dion has played as well as Vic fair enough. It's absurd, but what can anyone say at this stage?

GhostoftheBok

Not going tomorrow as it's Mr Ghost's birthday and apparently a late away day at Cambridge doesn't count as a "nice night out." All this "Dion or Vic or Collins or Bod" stuff is grand, but ultimately they're all good players and can all play together. The manager has to decided which pairing is most...
