Couldn't find a Reading thread, so i'm gona throw out some questions. You can catch 'em or throw 'em back.

Started a Reading file, signed a lot of youth guys mentioned on these forums. Belluschi, Aaritalo and Piatti are the only guys i'm really playing from my signings though.Belluschi is on fire.

I'm the kind of player who likes to make the most signings and for as cheap as possible at the beginning of the game though so i'm gona start again.

Planned signings:
Derek Boateng - 375k?
Mikkel Aaritalo - 300k
Belluschi - 4.8m
Ignashevich - Free (need to offer him above the odds wages)

Basically, is there any other cheap, good premiership signings out there? All over the field reading can be strengthened. 11.5m budget if you say you can qualify for europe.

Also worth cashing in on Shorey, Doyle or Lita? I'm guessing not.

I would keep Doyle who is a great player on FM08.

On both my Man Utd and Palermo games, Pompey bought Kitson for £6.75 mil.
I reckon you are worth cashing in on Kitson but keep Doyle.

Reading seem to do alright money wise on my games and ended buying Bentley for over £10 mil end of first season on one of my games.

Sell Lita if you get offered 2 million or more, keep Doyle and Shorey unless you get offered 10 or more.

cheers. any signings you'd suggest or seen do well at mid level prem clubs?

Banega - 2.5m. Good for ten yrs at centre mid!

Lita is good on my game - i'd keep him! Definitely dont sell for 2!!

retired_pruple

Lulina- 4m
Guilherme- 1-3m
alex (vasco)- 50k
palacio- for 8m - lots of money but great player
felipe (GK) 2m
breno- 3-4m

banega won't come, don't want to wait until january for the little brazilians. arrrgh it's hard to find value for money.

i'm chasing maldonado, any experience with him?

retired_nack

Do not sell Lita for 2 million, i managed to sell him to pompey in jan 08 for 18million. He worked well with Doyle up front.

My advice get ...
Breno
Felipe (GK)
Barthez on a free maybe??
Boateng
Mika Aaritalo (Bargain)
Ignashevich - Wages can be high, i had to offer him 21k a week for him to accept

Hope that helps
