According to Football League World Theo Walcott is training with Reading with a view to signing for them! The same Reading that has a winding up order from HMRC facing it at the moment! Who's being delusional here, the Reading owners or Walcott? If he signs a contract and they fail to pay it he becomes a football creditor payable by any new owner I suppose.
Walcott to Reading?

Not exactly a stampede for his signature and he wants to play on.

How on earth does a club the size of Reading, that always seems to be in financial difficulties, afford the likes of Walcott, Carroll, Ince, etc?
I guess they get into financial difficulties precisely because they are paying for the likes of Walcott, Carroll, Ince.

Doubt he would fit into our clubs wage structure, has to be questions asked about how Reading can afford him before it ends in tears.

The betting odds are set according to how the bookies think they’ll make money

… which is to say it’s not a prediction of the outcome. There’s a natural shaving of odds for ‘big clubs’ because that’s who pin-stickers will go for in their accumulators

He has, they've been in money trouble for ages though. I guess that's why because the examples I gave would not have been cheap.
