Time for the latest update in this summers longest running transfer saga. Adrian Mariappa and his move to Reading.

So here are the facts as I know them.

Reading have bid for Mariappa accepted (I know I know Watford fans "We didn't accept a bid" and all that but sorry you did)

As part of the bid Reading allow Watford to leak stories to the local rag that they have rejected bids from Reading so that when they eventually do "agree" a fee they can say "Well at least we tried to keep him"

Watford enquire about Simon Church and Joseph Mills.

Southampton enquire about Mariappa and Watford, who need the money (Again Watford fans I know I know "We don't need the money" sorry but your owner has admitted he doesn't have the funds to keep the club going) think they can start a bidding war between Southampton and Reading.

Reading say to Watford "If you try and up the price on a deal we have already agreed on then you can forget Mills and Church"

Stalemate

A takeover bid is launched for Watford. The deal seems dead Reading don't wish to increase their already agreed upon offer and if the takeover goes through then Watford will no longer need the money so can demand a higher fee from Southampton or offer Mariappa a bumper new deal. money Talks.

Watfords owner comes out and says takeover deal is off as new investors can't prove funds. Deal back on maybe? Watford to come crawling back takes between their legs ready to accept the original, already agreed upon remember, deal?

Basically if the takeover goes through the deal is dead if it doesn't then it could still happen. It's all gone abut quiet and Reading are losing interest in the payer and losing patience with Watfords dodgy business practices.

Until next time kids keep watching the stars and don't by the sun. {Ed003's Note - Dodgy? What is Dodgy? } }

Hey eds, how likely is it that Rangers will buy Bury, cos there are loads of rumours. I'd be gutted if it happened. Why can't they just have some dignity and take the relegation and work their way back up to the SPL, rather than 'take' someone else's club? {Ed025's Note - no chance..

Any chance of just a short list of clubs that Jordan Rhodes ISN'T going to sign for? Would save time.


Not sure what the fuss is about personally.Might be some good news for Stoke fans re Kenwyne Jones in the next few days which will get the ball rolling for a new striker.

A signing from a relegated Prem club could happen sooner rather than later. More when I get it

(Ed) you suggest that Gylfi Sigurdsson will more than likey end up at Liverpool and tbf this will be no surprise however, rumour is rife that Reading will sign him. I know Liverpool is a no brainer but with no bid from them (as yet) and a firm RFC bid on the table and first team football on offer what odds would you give on Sig being a Reading player come start of the season? Great site btw    {Ed025's Note - 4-1..

All this empty media fuelled rubbish about Zaha, which is the usual crap you expect from our press so listen up to a fact. PALACE have sold SEAN SCANNELL to HUDDERSFIELD and i`m glad cos he`s no better than he was when he was 17 and he was only mildly effective then.

according to Ian Abrahams (talksh1t) Grant Holt to WHU is dead in the water with the asking price the stumbling block. i would assume NCFC want more money upfront plus want to wait until Hughton returns from his holiday in a bid to persuede him to stay.

Breaking News!!
Huddersfield town have sold there soul to the devil following promotion to the championship!
As teams throughout the championship are bolstering there squads on the eve of 2012/13 season, we seem more content boosting our sponsorship and commercial deals. sound business sense maybe, but without the playing squad a struggle may be upon us! How many of these sponsors will stick around if the worst happens?

Im told patience is a virtue, but im fast becoming worried

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Have faith, there's no panic to rush and get people in for the sake of it. Getting the right players is more important if it takes time the so be it.
Many of the players will be looking at various options, it is the freebies that will sign first to ensure they have a club. That'll be why Miller and Roberts have already signed for clubs.
There's nothing wrong with strengthening the commercial sponsorship side, this increase shows companies believe in the club by spending their budget with us in difficult financial times.

Swansea's bid of 3 mil for emmes wasn't made last night it was made at the end of the championship season when emmes had less than 12 months remaining on his contract.Emnes gas signed a new 4 year contract so why would BORO contemplate accepting anything less than 5 to 6 million.mogga has gone public again to state Emnes,Bennett,Rhys Williams and Steele will not be sold because we do not have to sell.why people think we do is beyond me states mogga.thomson,McManus and McDonald are players mogga wants to sell.width is a problem area for BORO hence the recent interest in ladesma and carayol.
