On the way to you lot by all accounts. Hope he does well he needs a move and if we get £2m for him I say good deal!

What's it like to be our feeder club? Joking aside, he is one of the players at Reading that I don't know much about, although he seems highly regarded at the club.

READING manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that midfielder James Harper is still in talks with Wolves after a move fell through last week.
Mick McCarthy was at the Madejski Stadium on Tuesday night to watch Harper in action in Reading’s 5-1 Carling Cup win over Burton Albion.
Rodgers said: “James spoke to Wolves. He’s now back here. Things have gone a little quiet but we will have to wait and see.
“A fee was agreed and we gave him permission to speak to them. Mick was at our game the other night, but at the moment he is a Reading player.”
Rodgers firmly dismissed a theory that the move had stalled over a medical.
“He’s working well and his movement was good the other night, so it certainly wasn’t fitness,” insisted Rodgers.
Reading director Nick Hammond added: “Mick McCarthy was at the game on Tuesday night. We spoke, but not about James Harper. We talked about pre-season and stuff.
“I suppose people will have to draw their own conclusions as to why he was there. But I will not be making any further comment.”
Meanwhile, the agent of Rapid Vienna striker Stefan Maierhofer has confirmed the interest of Wolves. Sarafino Luzzi said: “There is interest from Wolves, but no concrete offer and I don’t know if it will come.”
Wolves did complete the capture of Chelsea’s Michael Mancienne on a season-long loan yesterday.
Mancienne was given permission to train with Wolves yesterday and should make his debut against West Ham.
The 20-year-old defender enjoyed a successful loan spell at Molineux last season, making ten appearances between October and December.
