Ovie Ejaria

He was the tall lad Critch was talking to for about 5 minutes after the match ended.
Ex Liverpool academy 24 year old attacking midfielder.
Wonder what was said
He's in the second year of a 4 year contract. Likely to be in demand I suspect?

“Ignore what your new coach says, he can barely string a sentence together. Remember what you were taught at the academy and see you in July where you’ll play in front of real fans” 👍
 
At first I wasn’t sure Reading would go down.
Now they’ve appointed Ince Snr I’m convinced they will go down and Barnsley will repeat their usual escape act.
Might need a clear out if relegated. Ejaria would be high on NC’s wish list.
 
They paid £3million for him
Everton paid nearly 5 million for Josh and let him go Sometimes the player just needs to know he is valued regardless of financial worth.
I realise that he is under contract but they will need to offload players when relegated, personally I think John Swift would be a better option and think he is, out of contract in summer
 
If he's ex Liverpool academy, then Critch would know him well as from there wouldn't he?

Lad played well, it was a good battle with him and Stewart.
 
Whilst Readings last accounts showed a balance of -£35m!!
They got a 6 point deduction in November with a further 6 suspended until the end of next season. They are subject to a strict business plan, including on player pay. If they got relegated they would certainly have to look at trimming their squad

He will be on a huge salary. Remember this is the club who paid Charlie Adam 22K a week

After Critch went towards the North Stand, Mike Garrity then went to have a word with him as well 🤔
 
The lad Critch spoke to had a coat on. So had been subbed. But it looked like the lad was wanting to talk to Critch more than the other way round, possibly. Dele-Bashiru is on loan from Watford. Daft reading anything into this chat I think!

Think that is Dele-Bashiru - he came through the City junior ranks before joining Watford last year. Critch will no doubt know him.
 
It was an unusually long chat on the pitch - 90 seconds? - much more than a ‘good to see you mate’. He’s allegedly on £7.5k/week at Reading, but his career has stalled. 24 years old? Take a punt and come to where you’d be valued, albeit on less money. Still time to dream of a good deal more than playing for financially and morally bust Championship strugglers. He’d be a great addition at the right money - Reading fans love him almost as much as Jiao

Yes I think you are correct re the player , Watford signed him when his contract expired at City , on a 6 year contract in 2019.
