Jimmy Kebe to Cardiff???

It seems like Malky is definitely in the market for a winger and they don't come much better than Kebe in this division! It seems like Reading are willing sell him in January rather than let him leave on a free in the summer. So will Malky try and sign him in Jan???

Sky Sports:

Jimmy Kebe has revealed he expects to leave Reading in either January or the summer.

The Malian winger is out of contract in the summer and the Royals have offered their 27-year-old star an improved deal in an effort to keep him at the Madejski Stadium.

However, Kebe has rejected the proposed terms of an extension, and now appears to be on the verge of a move away from Berkshire.

"I read the newspaper and (director of football) Nick Hammond was saying they offered me an extremely good contract, but I don't think so," Kebe told the Reading Post.

"I've talked to them since the beginning of the season and said I really wanted to stay. They keep saying they really want me to stay, but they don't show me in terms of a contract.

Leave:

"Now I'm afraid I will leave in January or in the summer. A good contract for them is obviously not a good contract for me, so we will see in the next transfer window what will happen.

"I really want to stay and have talked to the manager (Brian McDermott) since pre-season, but we can't agree on the terms of the contract.

"There is no point for me to sign for one more year. We have talked for three or four months now and they offered me a 'top end' contract and I've refused it."

Anyone think this would be a good signing?

Think he would be an unreal signing. I really rate him

It really looks like Kebe might well be leaving in January!

The Reading Chronicle:

READING FC manager Brian McDermott has hit back at want-away winger Jimmy Kebe after a breakdown in contract talks.

Kebe, 27, has rejected an improved two-year deal with the Royals and is set to quit the club.

Kebe broke his media silence on the weekend to speak of his disappointment, a decision that has clearly angered McDermott.

Speaking exclusively to the Chronicle, he said: "I know for a fact that the offer we made Jimmy was a good one, especially in relation to where we are as a football club right now.

"Jimmy has gone public with what he said. He hasn't told me personally he wants to leave, he did it through the press, but that's up to him.

"If he wants to go, there's not much I can do."

Kebe is in the final year of his existing contract. Royals offered him an improved deal in the summer with an extra 12 months, but he turned it down.

Go get him Malky!

Good player Jimmy Kebe...Question - how much would we have to pay for him ???

As if the fee is what i think it might be...i know of 1 player who MM might want to bring in as a winger

Good going forward, does he have the work ethic MM likes ??

Surely Prem bound in January.

great and realistic target finally.

i would try my hardest to get kebe !!

Surely Prem bound in January.

Fulham or QPR, probably. West Ham, possibly.

Sounds like a greedy barstard to me, keep well clear.

class player he would do for me. Will we get him? would love it if we did.
