For gods sake.

That better be paper talk. I swear to god I'll die if we pay nearly £2mill for Jimmy frigging Kebe.

Come on Top get the cheque book out!

I would surprised if Pearson went for Kebe. He emphasises a lot on players with the right mental attitude who are going to work hard for the cause. Whenever I have seen Kebe he is shit hot one game (usually against us!) and then crap the next and looks like he can't be bothered. I would therefore question if he fits the Pearson mould.

However I am probably talking a load of old shite.

Article in the mercury now- but seems like lazy journalism based on the summer to me.

I get what you're saying, but you could also say he's quite a similar player to Dyer in terms of style of play and he was a Pearson signing let's not forget.

So many managers, it is difficult to remember what they all did. Has Pearson previously bought badly for us?

I'd say his only outright bad signings were either loans or freebies.

Why on earth would Kebe want to join us? If he wants the PL, he's better where he is right now surely?!

Pearson has said he wants players who are confident and in form so that they bring that energy with them, do Reading fall in to that category?

Definitely won't fit the Alan Young mould either......

There is a chump on Twitter called Smithstarrr who is trying to act like he has a load of info, but everything he posts is just a rehash of what was on the Sky Sports Twitter about 5 minutes previous. It's quite funny.

Reading are playing well at the mo.....and they also need to sell.

Money?

Money?

Turned down a contract that would have made him the best paid player at Reading

I'd bet that the amount wouldn't be anything near what we are stupid enough to pay him though.

There have been loads of Prem scouts watching him recently, so we'll have no chance of getting him.

Yeah I hear he scored 5 goals tonight.

How many is that this season now?

Does he do anything else other than score goals though?
