John Swift

Shame on the thread name change

Some Reading fans seem to be in the "not bothered if he leaves" camp. But the general consensus seems to be that if they are selling him then £3.5m is too cheap.

We are not bothered if he leaves, he isn't that important but we want serious money if he goes though.

Some of them seem to think he's worth nearer £7m.
Others moaning that B'ham are getting much more for "unproven" Jude Bellingham.

Not sure on the use of " " as he is relatively unproven. They're buying potential, nothing more, nothing less.

I always thought he was a talented, elegant footballer. He has the kind of composure and ball-carrying ability that we need more of. He'll probably frustrate at times but £3.5m seems like a bargain.

And, if we do get relegated next season, we'll have a shit-hot Championship team.

 

[Barney]

No idea about him but he's called John and we all know a few more John's in the squad did nobody any harm.

Hope we get this lad. He looks like an equivalent of Fleck but for the right hand side. Will get us moving forward better and hopefully create more chances.

I hope the Fleck from before the break.....

 

[Cerberus Blade]

That puts the Cantwell/Eze rumours to bed then?

I don’t think so. At least I hope not. I like Cantwell, different type of player to Swift. Swift is more of an aggressive playmaker, Cantwell is more of a skilful striker, from what I’ve seen.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

£3.5m sounds a bargain. Even if he doesn’t work out we’d get our money back

Or a credit note?

[Yellarbellyblade]

Swift will be delighted I’m sure. Building a team round a pissed off player doesn’t often work out well

 

[S40BLADE]

Pretty sure that's up to Swift and his side to force the issue then. Can't see him being too enthused about staying at a lower champ side when a top half prem team want to sign him and give him the opportunity.

Translated from Mandarin, that means 'Give us more money for him!'

If Reading chairman thinks Wilder will buy into that obviouse attempt to get us to pay more !
Not a chance ! Wilder wont be held to ransome ,others have tried it !.
We would move on Wilder has a valuation and will not go over it.

Does this now mean that we're no longer interested in jhon.swift ?

As a poster said earlier it's really up to Swift if he wants to come they will let him go.
Dont see how a club desperate to cut there wage bill can talk about building a team around a player who is on the kind of wage they can I'll afford

looks a bit bigger than I remember as well.

This is a very impressive highlights reel , second only to the one I saw a few years ago featuring Florent Cuvelier.

Whose was it ?

As McCabe consistently said when a top PL club comes calling and players head is turned what can the club do?





A. Sell

 

[Paisley Blade]

Whose was it ?

His twin brother apparently.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

This has only come from Twitter! It’s probably BS!
Most other sources are talking like the deal is done already.

 

[Dublinblade]

looks to be awfully one footed for me. Yeah the highlights reel looks great with all those turns and spins but hes having to do them because he has no left peg. I'm sure CWAK ahve done their homework though

Wilder did say we were close to getting one deal done speaking after the Everton game so it makes sense.

Agree although I remember QPR trying something similar last year when Utd were in for Freeman and Utd ended up paying more.
Not a surprise Reading are trying it on especially with Leeds apparently lurking.
