Recently relegated Reading will be keen to bounce back amidst a backdrop of uncertainty
Here are 5 players they could look at based on YOUR suggestions
Comment what team + 5 positions I should do next! 👇
CB: Michael Hector
One player I believe could make a return to Reading this summer is Michael Hector. He’s out of contract following a short spell at Charlton, where he looked comfortable at the level
I’m unsure if wages would be a problem, but he’s a good defender, knows club
CM: Charlie Webster
Reading made good use of loans from Chelsea last season, and another I feel they could look at this year is teenage midfielder Webster
He’s yet to experience senior men’s football, but I believe he has the ability. Comfortable as either an 8 or 6
CM: Henri Lansbury
Reading may want to add experience to their side, so the signing of talented midfielder Lansbury could prove a shrewd one.
He’s still got heaps of talent despite ageing, & I believe in League 1 he’d look a cut above. Available for free after release at Luton
AM: Reece Smith
There is a wonderful hotbed of talent in #NationalLeague, especially close by to Reading. Maidenhead have a few top talents, the pick of which is youngster Smith
Versatile attacking midfielder, Smith is a confident, courageous midfielder. Capable as a 10 or wing
ST: Sam Smith
One of the hottest free agent properties in League 1. Smith may have aspirations of stepping up to the Championship, but if tempted to stay in L1 he’d be a top signing
Reading need a well rounded forward, & Smith is exactly that. Hit double figures in last 2 years
GK: Jamie Cumming
Chelsea links have been discussed in this thread, and here is another. Cumming has had 2 great loan moves in League 1, so he has experience at the level
The 23 year old has already played over 120 EFL games, is a great shot stopper and would be a good choice
ST: Divin Mubamba
The 2nd top scorer in PL2, I feel a loan move is now required for prolific forward Mubamba
A natural born finisher, one who is extremely cool in the final 3rd, Mubamba is well placed to make the jump. The geography works fairly well too

I was asked to do a total rebuild for #CamUtd - so there are a lot of signings suggested here!
Some more ambitious than others! Let me know what club + 3-5 positions to do next! (I will get round to them dw!)
[THREAD] 🧵
GK - Archie Mair
Despite being from Scotland, Mair has spent the majority of his career at Norwich
He’s shown himself to be a very capable keeper at L2 level previously, and at 24, he’s certainly one for the future too. He’s on a free as well
GK - Nik Tzanev
Let go by rivals Northampton Town, Tzanev would be a very good option in goal for this level
If the fact he’s turned out recently for their rivals can be looked past, Tzanev has well over 100 EFL appearances to his name already. Wouldn’t have to move too far either
Luke Williams’ latest recruit is attacking midfielder Crowley
He’s especially interesting as he’s spent much of his career in the Netherlands
Here is a thread on the new man, and what we can expect from him 👇
The Key Stats
Age: 25
Height: 5ft9
Last Club: Morecambe
Position: AM (as shown in graphic)
22/23 (League One):
Games: 21
Goals: 2
Assists: 5
1.25 Chances Created per 90
671 passes completed (87% accuracy)
8 tackles won (73% accuracy)
The first thing that catches the eye about Crowley is the speed and quickness of his movement. In particular, how quickly he’s able to manipulate the ball by shifting his feet
Here he completely takes the defender out of the game, opening the space for a perfectly weighted pass
