Who has been the best Championship signing?

[Tom_ITFC]

Pritch on loan has been great. £600k for Gray from non-league who then scores 17 league goals is a pretty good signing as well!

£100k for Freddie Sears in January and has 9 goals. Equally as good a signing!

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Keiren Westwood.

Free.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Compaing the price to how well they've performed (not including loans), my top 5 in no particular order:

Keiren Westwood, - Sheff Wed (free)
Andre Gray - Brentford (600k)
Jota - Brentford (undisclosed)
Michail Antonio - Notts Forest (1.5mill?)
Craig Cathcart - Watford (Free)

 

[Madejski]

Think it would be better to make a list of worst Championship signings in relation to Reading.

Anton Ferdinand, Jure Travner, Zat Knight, Yakubu...

Anton Ferdinand

Forgot you had him, has he even played a game for you?

 

[Madejski]

48 minutes all season.

Don't sign players who have been injured for the past two years. Especially on a two year contract.

 

[markwwfc1992]

He's never really excelled as a footballer, and lived of his brothers reputation. If it wasn't for Rio, I doubt he would have ever have played in the Prem.

£100k for Freddie Sears in January and has 9 goals. Equally as good a signing!

Very true!

 

[Nook Terrier]

Jacob Butterfield for us, sold Clayton for £1.5million + Butterfield. The lad is our only real quality player in the squad, rightly player of the season too.

 

[Super_horns]

Gomes was an important signing - experienced and top class performances between the sticks at times.

 

[HertsWolf]

Signing Afobe changed our season round, certainly.
Jota and Gray would seem to be the stand-outs for me.

 

[markwwfc1992]

I think Afobe would have been the signing of the season if we got him in the summer rather than half way into the season.

 

[TheWednesday]

For Wednesday it'd have to be Kieren Westwood who came on a free transfer from Sunderland, the best keeper in the division by a country mile, some of the saves he's made this season have been unbelievable. Also have to give a mention to Tom Lees, came for a tiny fee from Leeds United and has been an absolute colossus at the back alongside Glenn Loovens, and contributed to a season where the club equalled its best ever clean sheet record.

 

[JJH]

Jota, Antonio and mid-season Afobe for me.

Afobe's been in fine goal scoring form - and Jota and Antonio are fantastic players, and both excite you when they're on the ball.

Good to watch.

 

[Ciderup]

From my limited view of the Championship, I would think Andre Gray was a great bit of business and Afobe will do a lot of damage next season. I've always thought Tarkowski is a good player but have no clue how he's done up here.

 

[TomPNE94]

Callum Wilson. I know he cost a fair wedge but to make the step up from L1 so seamlessly is very impressive.
