Interesting little interview on the official site. Devlin reckons that we're talking to one big name player who the fans would be fascinated by!

It's Zola

Nah. I don't reckon. As much as it'd be great to see him here, he wouldn't sign on for the whole season, and I'd rather have a good player here for the long term that a spectacular one for a month.

Don't worry I wasn't being serious  :)

Is there a link you'd be kind enough to put on here by any chance?

I wouldn't dismiss the Zola link out of hand. Stranger things have happened surely?

key points from the interview:

woan let the club know about the offer, which allowed wise time to bring in david lee who has previous experience with youth teams.

brentford and brighton games cancelled as the reading friendly was one the club have been chasing for some time, pitch wouldn't withstand the 3 games in a week.

very close to signing the goalkeeper we're after, deal will be completed in the next 24-48 hours, complications due to the fact he's signing from abroad but football league approval has been granted (henrik moisander :--)

wise has one or two keepers in mind for the deputy spot as well as one or two other players that the club are either talking to their agents or to the players directly and a deal should be completed in the next week or so.

amongst those is a 'big name', the fans would be 'pleased' and 'fascinated' with him.

He does tend to back in a bit, so that might have been an issue.

You just made that up. I reckon it's more likely to be that Henrik Moisander bloke.

Are you any good in goal?

As you share the same star sign your skills should be about the same I reckon.

Yeah, playing in goal is easy. All you have to do is catch a ball and you don't even have to run around FFS!

He is Finnish or did you know that already?   :?

He has a twin who plays at Ajax as well.

The same snippet also said the pair had only just signed contract extensions for a further year but you never know.

I can't see Zola coming. The reason he went to Palermo was because he wanted to finish his career there. Can't wait to see who it is though - Devlin wouldn't have made it up to be something its not I am sure
