Chez Posted 9 January, 2021 Share Posted 9 January, 2021 Returning to the left back position, I see that Reading's Omar Richards (out of contract in the summer) is linked with Bayern Munich. Possibly agent drumming up interest from Prem sides/increasing Reading's wage offer, but he is an exciting player. Very skillful on the ball, lots if tricks and a decent crosser of the ball. He doesn't look lightning fast, which could be an issue when stepping up a level, but I would hope we have scouted him in recent weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get we need more options, and that Long isn’t perhaps going to be here much after this season, but Austin was a disruptive force on the dressing room, and wasnt great when he was here, and has gone downhill. Is it not saying something he has joined a club fighting relegation in a division below, rather than one chasing promotion? I think we will be looking for additional support, but no way would it be someone like Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does he compare in styel and ability to KWP as I would assume RH wants a left sided KWP if at all possible, as in high energy, skillfully, good defender and good crosser. I've only watched Reading twice and to be honest I wasn't concentrating very hard. However, he was actually noticeable in those games because he beat people all ends up and that is something you don't see every day at most levels from fullbacks. He always seemed to want to get forward with the ball and dribbled a lot rather than seeing the ball as a hot potato - lots of confidence. I just watched a youtube video of a game agains Blackburn and he has a brilliant drag back and in that game he seemed to beat players all the time with his tricks. He certainly likes to dribble it out from the back and drive into space like KWP does. I am wondering if he is a converted winger. He looks good at that level. He wouldn't get away with as much at our level, but he has the first touch thats for sure. I don't know if he has the defensive capabilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 11 January, 2021 Share Posted 11 January, 2021 3 hours ago, SuperSAINT said: Largely probably depends if Utd sign another right-back. They were linked with Tripper, but his ban would prevent a move, you'd think. Solskjaer seems to rate Williams. Well, at least he has made positive remarks about him recently (maybe to boost his price, maybe to boost his confidence ahead of games in the busy period - and maybe because Tripper move is falling through) , but he clearly hasn't shined early season enough to claim the reserve left back role. Wan-Bisakka doesn't seem to get injured, meaning the right back cover doesn't get many games, so perhaps there isn't huge pressure to sign a right back right. If signing his depends on United signing a player ,then it is going to come down to the 11 hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 11 January, 2021 Share Posted 11 January, 2021 If Utd were that bothered about loaning out Williams to give him game time then there wouldnt be a huge logic in getting him cup tied. Can imagine he will get a good few games at Utd considering they have EL as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 12 January, 2021 Share Posted 12 January, 2021 Would be an odd signing, unless its a cheap 6 month deal for depth, and Smallbone and Jankewitz will go on loan, but I'd be surprised... Odd rumour for them to make up though, and even more odd he suddenly fancies following Saints on Instragram, unless he's doing it to get attention...
