1.) Part of the Reading squad that made us look like Brazil 1970
2.) Dont much like the attitude of trying to dump the team whose academy he went through.

I quite like Robson-Kanu, he's not a bad player at all. Not sure where he would fit in here though. I can see him ending up somewhere like Norwich.

Heard rumour villa are looking at Austin from Burnley. Not sure he would be worth the reported 5m being asked though.

If we sign him JR's gonna have to start doing commentary on AVTV.

Having seen him play for Wales a few times he is probably best employed in a wide forward role in a 4-3-3.  Couldn't really see him being anything but a squad player for us though really.

only 13 starts for them last season too. The competition wasnt up to much so maybe thats telling. Do remember him tearing Evra a new one alright but Gabby, Weimann, Nzogbia and now Tonev are all options out wide so dont see it happening at all.

Disappointed the Belhanda rumour appears to be bollocks.

I'd have seen the signing of him as a 'we mean business' kind of one. He's got pretty much everything our midfield so sorely lacks. Plus it's always nice to have a bit of creativity and flair on the pitch

Not sure how someone like Murphy is going to add the same. Sometimes you have to shop at Waitrose and Lidl if you want a top meal.
