Santos to Reading

If this happens and the Irons recall Casey, we could be a bit short of CDs if Ben or Burgess gets injured. 🤔
 
Not the best work, we got away with one.

If he was on 7.5k a week we pretty much broke even.
I'd just call that insurance tbh. People forget that Cabango was the only other CB on the payroll at the time Santos signed. In theory we had cover for the worst case scenario and it ended up costing us nothing.

He was always going to be cover, decent signing at the time on a free with a load of experience, very unfortunate he picked up that knock when he did.

If he signs for Reading, good luck to the lad.

Some people are really negative about a player who was signed for cover/in case other deals fell through and who barely saw the pitch for us, which is exactly what we would have wanted when we signed him. If we can get a fee for him and break even against signing on fee/wages, that's a complete win for the club.
