Reading ready to spend if right target available

Reading manager Bryan McDermott is not afraid to spend money on players, should the right player come along. The R's have been linked with a host of talent in the January transfer window, but have yet to make an official move for any new players.

"We haven't broken the bank, I certainly haven't in the last three years and we probably haven't in the last 12 years as a club,” McDermott said.


"That's not to say that if a player came in that we felt was right for us, at the right cost, then the owner would have to make a decision to back that deal. Then we will wait and see. It's not a case of we wouldn't if it was right."
