knowledge  Reading chief executive Nigel Howe has allayed fears
that the club's new partnership with Galatasaray will see the
Royals' best players poached by the Turkish giants.  There had
been concerns that the Istanbul outfit would cherry-pick the
club's leading talents, such as English-born Turkey midfielder
Jem Karacan, or share players in the same manner as Watford and
Udinese.  The Hornets currently have 10 players on loan from the
Serie A side, but Howe has played down such fears and stressed
that the agreement is primarily concerned with sharing
information and knowledge, not players.  "It's about working
together, not taking each other's players," Howe told BBC Radio
Berkshire.  "Udinese and Watford is different as they have the
same owner. This is about sharing information and helping
players progress. 11/5 Reading
