I lived in Burghfield for 7 years so it was just a small trip on the train. A bit further south now mind but old shopping habits die hard. Mind you Reading has a great array of shops. Still personal choice and all that TTID.

Are we targeting 5 signings?
Surely this number has to be in the double figures?

So, compared to Zanka, is this guy better or worse? If he is about the same quality or better, then we have got a right bargain!

Making out like its not been doing the rounds for the past couple of days. Kin hell Nick, you sure old us though. Any other personality change or name change coming in the coming weeks? Youre like James McAvoy on that film Split

From reading Villa fans comments, he sounds like a model professional and excellent leader. Don't think he produced his best football at Villa but Hull fans were gutted when his loan ended

Comes across very well here. Sounds like just what the dressing room needs.

It's a good sign that someone like that has signed. We must be offering decent wages and able to beat off other Championship clubs who we never would have stood a chance against 3 years ago

With Tommy Elphick in I wonder if this means Kongolo is leaving?
I already take Zanka as 'gone' so I wonder if this is a pre-emptive move to cover Kongolo being signed for a big transfer? After all Elphick at 31 would only sign up if he was pretty sure of being in the 1st team selection.
Kongolo can play left back, but he is clearly a more natural centrehalf. He wouldn't fit into an attacking 433 that Siewert is wanting to play.
Happy to have Tommy onboard though.

Tommy Elphick? Ordinary hairstyle, no facial hair, no tattoos I can see..... nah, can’t be a footballer. Best of luck, Tommy.

If we were selling those 2 for big money you would think we wouldnt be looking at free transfers?

Kongolo is on the fringes of the Dutch national side- he won't get picked for them playing in the second division and is too good to be playing in it full stop. He'd also command a much bigger fee.

Kongolo is fairly happy here by the sounds of it. Very good mates with Mbenza, VLP, Bacuna. Town also won't sell him unless the fee is close to what we paid which is very unlikely Schindler isn't happy, doesn't like Siewart, hinted at being homesick in the past and Wagner allegedly interested

He'd also command a much bigger fee. yes I agree. Kongolo is a step level above our other defenders. He has always given everything and I think he would cause a problem if he stayed. However lots of clubs in any top level division across Europe would consider him. Any mid-table, premier league, Spanish, Italian, German or French side, even one of the Turkish super-clubs would be interested in taking Kongolo.

One of the best new signing interviews i’ve seen from Town players. Clearly done his due diligence on Jan, which is reassuring.
