RUMOUR - Cristian Lobato

[winchester_royal]

Murmours on twitter that he's about to sign. Random enough to be believable, ex Barca-B. Left midfielder apparently. Free agent. 24 years old.

I believed it until you said left midfielder, we don't need wingers

Perhaps a tad more believable than a rumour coming from yourself.

[West Stand Flash]

May I add there is ZERO rumours on Twitter.

If you say so

[W&E Royal]

Random Twitter rumour in Spanish is far more believable than any of you 14 year old keyboard warriors on here.

Here is the twitter rumor.

heard this from my mate who lives in Spain and is a Barca fan. He also says he was considered more of an attacking left back/ winger at barca.

[Royal91]

[winchester_royal]

IN for the next Jordi Alba

Cover for Bridge?

We going to go for a 4-3-3 with the full backs providing much of the width... similar to how we played against Watford?

Yes I assume he will be cover if it comes off. I agree 4-3-3 would probably be our preferred formation this year and Lobato could be a good signing considering Bridge isnt the best at going forward but fairly solid defensively.

[NewCorkSeth]

Wouldn't a 4-3-3 really take away from our wingers who can really thunder down the line? McCleary in particular?

They are the same age....

This rumor is complete BS it won't happen. I've spoken to a twitter account that does work with Barca B and has talked to Lobato in the past, he has not been in any talks what so ever with Reading.

[sandman]

Ex-Barcelona player in the same team as an ex-Real Madrid player is a recipe for dressing room disharmony.

[ddetisi]

He already plays for us according to his Wiki page.

Who is changing this stuff? The worlds gone mad.

[maffff]

Put McCleary on the left and he likes to cut in and looked good as an inverted inside forward... we looked more dangerous with the 'wingers' closer to the striker at the end of last year.

[Barry the bird boggler]

Never heard of him, he any good?

[HoneyRoastHoax]

Never heard of him, he any good?

He was signed for Barcelona twice. I presume they are a pretty good judge of character

A Real Madrid player, and a Barcelona one ... rather belies one of our old chants
