Royals happy to wait on Griffin
Reading director of football Nick Hammond has no problem biding his time in his efforts to sign Stoke defender Andy Griffin.[LNB] The Royals enquired about the 31-year-old, who enjoyed a four-month loan spell at the Madjeski Stadium last season, at the start of the summer.[LNB]But despite the player reportedly not wanting to move his family from the midlands, Hammond is confident he will get his man.[LNB]"I've had discussions with Stoke and, as it stands, there needs to be talks that take place between them and Griff," he told the Reading Post. "He still has a lot to think about and right now we just have to wait and see. It's one of those deals that just take time to progress.[LNB]"Anything we have to do has to be right for all three parties involved. But we're hopeful of finding a solution. He is their player and it's decided on their time.[LNB]"At some point we will have to make a decision if we're going to stay with it - and it's not like we don't have people in the building who can't play right-back. We're happy to wait on this one for now."
