Considering their financial plight, and reportedly having recently sold a fair few first team players (which has helped Bindon get game time), good news for Reading. Hopefully they can stay up.
And the below, Abbey just having been signed by Olympiakos:
Excellent stuff.
We need a top tier CB coming through in a tough league, and as far as I can see, he's it. 19 years old and cutting his teeth in League One is the highest calibre CB playing week in, week out that we've got at the moment outside of Boxall in the MLS - So a succession plan is well needed. Surman will be there or there abouts one day.
We're running pretty dry on up and coming CB's which is a shame given how we've had a good production line at the back over the years (Seems we're going through a good cycle of producing top GK's at the moment though) it will be at least a few more years before the likes of LKH or even Isaac Hughes progress, but there's some good signs with those two.
Whereas with MDD, despite having heard less from him, I’m more confident that if he plays for a national team it will be us.

It really looks the other way round. Bindon has clearly stated his future is with NZ, though yes won’t be cap tied until June's ONC. But he’s openly said it’s NZ. He sounds like a Kiwi and has spent more of his life in Aotearoa than Stateside. There will be 10 or more CBs ahead of him with the US.
MDD yeah is a long long shot for either England, Portugual or Brazil. But for now he’s taking his time. Can see him avoiding the ONC like Tyler Boyd did with Hudson's AWs in PNG, keeping his options open a bit longer. Then he'll go with the Olywhites to Paris see how it goes at the Olympics. Maybe I'm wrong and he's now decided it's NZ all the way.
I really hope we can somehow get Jack Iredale eligible. Be great for the CB stocks, especially being left sided.
Surman did just keep the best attacking outfit in the A League scoreless and toothless for 90 minutes.
Sometime I think people just assume because its overseas it has to be better (which I agree with, if the league is a good enough comp).
Regardless, great to see him and Surman doing well.

Isn't the rule of thumb ALM, is lower Championship/upper League One??
End of the day they are likely playing well at a pretty similar level, and could team up as the Olywhites CB pairing in Paris later this year.
Unless Bazeley goes with an overage (oa) Boxall or Tuiloma. But can see 3 oa players being from Wood, Singh, Payne & Cacace - depending on who's available.

Weird to think it, but after the desperate shambles that Tyler Bindon found himself in at Reading FC a month or two ago... suddenly things are going alright for them. They cleared up some (some) of their financial woes with January player sales, which also cleared the path for Bindon to become a starting CB again, and now they’re grinding out results like they haven’t done all term. It was last week that they jumped out of the drop zone. This week they’ve gone surging into the mid-table.

2-0 over Port Vale
Special mention for Tyler Bindon.
— EPR (@ElmParkRoyals) February 20, 2024
Another top class performance defensively and very good on the ball.
He’s proving to be a brilliant signing by Bowen & Carey in difficult times.
....Reading, who did get thrashed 4-1 by division leaders Portsmouth on the weekend but they bounced back this morning with a 2-0 win over Port Vale. Lewis Wing (76’) and Harvey Knibbs (83’) with the goals as a strong second half performance was the key to this victory also. Tyler Bindon has had his ups and downs this term for a team that has been all over the place but since re-emerging as a starting CB following some outgoing transfers he’s been marvellous.
Reading have taken 15 points from their last eight games with that Pompey one being the only defeat. An astonishing turnaround from where they were previously and Bindon’s been a big part of that.

Bindon at CB.
That's a bit of a hammer blow that is, dragging them back in to a relegation picture that it looked like they were just about pulling away from given their recent run of results.
Club statement | An immediate two-point penalty has been applied with a further two points suspended as a result of persistent late payments to HMRC in 2023.

Full statement⬇️
Not a good time for contracted Kiwi's at Reading, Burton Albion or Shrewsbury - All clearly in a relegation scrap as we get into the business end of the season over the next couple of months.
Edit - Bindon starts
Both Reading & Croc's Burton Albion now 5 pts above the drop zone.
Mata's Shrewsbury 4 pts above, relegation spots.
Right back to winning ways for Reading Football Club, who continue to defy the odds despite their young squad, financial struggles, and absentee owner. They’ve lost six points in deductions and are still out there banking results... with Tyler Bindon now firmly established as a key player in central defence.
There are 17 players who have played in League One this season born in 2005 or later. Of those 17 players, Tyler Bindon has played the most minutes with 2,499. None of the other have even reached 1,000 yet. He’s played more than any of the 2004 class too. There have been some ups and downs but 19 year old defenders are simply not supposed to be this good this soon.

Edit - Bindon starts. Up against burly 34 yr old veteran Sam Vokes, Wood's old Burnley striker team mate.

Unlike Crocombe's Burton Albion, Reading don't have a league game 24th March.
Clubs of both Kiwis are on 39 pts, 5 pts above the drop zone.
They're not my team, and I follow them mainly because of Bindon's presence there, but what that fat cnut Yongge is doing to the club is absolutely vile. Raked them through the mud, and now selling off valuable club owned assets in what could only be described as a fire-sale - And to local rivals no less. Just embarrassing.
Prospective owners have also now walked away from a potential deal because of this whole ordeal as well.
Get that fat clown out of football! It's beyond farcical.

Some of the worst I've seen in football - can't imagine how the fans must feel. Get that vampire out of the sport

The training ground news is 'pretty much true' and it's supposedly going to cost Wycombe 'half of what' Reading paid for it.

So Wycombe will be paying approximately £25m to put the final nail in the coffin. Hope it’s worth it… 👍 pic.twitter.com/HG4IHDM0Dd
Absolutely ludicrous that this could happen.
A half price sale for one of the clubs biggest assets, might as well be a nail in the coffin for Reading FC. Now talk of mass protest at every remaining game for the rest of the season.
The phrase being thrown about
"What have we got left to lose?"
