NickG Posted 8 October, 2010 Author Share Posted 8 October, 2010 I wonder whether this was in the pipeline regardless of the situation with Lee Barnard at the weekend or whether that event triggered this move? was wondering the same, wouldn't be surprised either way - Adknis has been talking as if someone may come in - Barnard may have focussed his mind a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 8 October, 2010 Share Posted 8 October, 2010 2 goals in 2 starts for Reading (both League Cup), and being a youngster, his goal-scoring stats are pretty impressive. 5"10 indicates he's been bought in more for Barnard than Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergie Posted 8 October, 2010 Share Posted 8 October, 2010 Until 4th novermber accoridng to the official site. Says he's quick and powerful, defo a jaidi look-a-like. Was hoping it was gonna be the liverpool striker Eccleston or Agoo but we'll take this. Didnt fancy antonio when we signed him but look what he turned into.

Saint J 77 Posted 8 October, 2010 Share Posted 8 October, 2010 Just been tweeted by a Reading supporting mate - Speedy and can finish. Another Antonio! Looks good if he's anything like that Sounds like he will be a good additon to our current squad. Pacey players are just what we are lacking at the moment. The trouble is IF he does perform any where as good as Antonio did, Reading will take him back and reap the benefits again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble is IF he does perform any where as good as Antonio did, Reading will take him back and reap the benefits again. As with all loans both parties `benefit'. Us in the short term Reading in the long. Personally I think if he helps us get promoted then I don't care who else benefits. The long and short of it is we are short up front so we need to bring a player in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 8 October, 2010 Share Posted 8 October, 2010 Great, he can replace Barnard who's been getting into fights in nightclubs, we don't want players like that. I did reveal the intention to sign a striker yesterday actually. However, the above is a bit of a nasty surprise, even if it does look like he was just an accessory.

derry Posted 8 October, 2010 Share Posted 8 October, 2010 My son is a mate of a senior Reading first team player, so I got him to ask about Bignall. The answer, 'he's good, really quick and strong, a bit raw at times but has got a great strike on his left foot, he can play wide but is better up the middle'. It sounds like a good signing but only short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
