being a Reading fan, i normally sell sonko to celtic/rangers for about 2 mill. gives u more a more resonable budget. also u may want to sell shorey and get in some one like baines or try to get wayne bridge in on loan.
for more flexibility u could also sell sidwell (as fulham, charlton, and bolton always seem to be after him) and you could loan out a player like denilson from arsenal or lassana diarra from chelsea. The Reading team isnt actually that bad at the start of the game anyway, its just making plans for the future (ie: replacing murty, glen little, gunnarson) and getting in some young decent players.
hope that helps! |
