Oh, no hadn't seen him this season. Had looked decent when i'd seen him before.

 

Just like M'Vila he's either burnt out already or is just dreaming of his next big pay deal. It's a recurrrent problem, they hit the headlines at ridiculously young ages on the back of one or 2 good performances and then they just slide downhill. M'Vila is available for 8 million € and the best he's getting is from QPR, a year ago Real and the Arse were falling over themselves for him. Like that kid Varaane, transferred to Real reserves at 18, since then downhill.

A funny one Reading are about to sign Steven Kelly, spend £2.5m on a RB over the summer that haas played 6 times and replace him with a RB that has managed about 16 appearances a season in the last 3 and a half years at Fulham... (and pay another £2.5m for the privilege)

Yer, how come they havent really played Gunter? Remember people saying that Gunter was a better option than Clyne in the summer...

 

Second time that's happened to Gunter, he must have a technical flaw which doesn't show up too much in the NPC but becomes evident when the level gets higher in the PL. Same as a couple of our now fringe players really. If your manager has no PL experience it doesn't help.

Don't know about Gunter but McDermott has his favourites which aren't necessarily tied to merit. Guthrie has been frozen out, even though many Reading fans think he's their best CM.

Because Gunter is toilet.

 

I get the feeling Gunter in the Premier League is like had we been relying on Harding at left back this season. Clyne and Shaw - we couldn't have asked for better full backs, even if their cover is suspect.

 

Paul Robinson isn't playing for Blackburn tonight. Is there something more in that I wonder?!?

Highlights that most of Readings fans either have no clue about good players at all or have some of the most unbelievably bad midfielders to make Guthrie look good...

You mean Harding at RB ;)

 

Can only hope the Paul Robinson thing is good for us, wouldn't say no to him right now at all!

Hasn't Robinson been 2nd choice for a few months now ?!

 

Not sure, but he's not even on the bench unless I mislooked. Unless he's injured. I think I read Forest are interested in him but I thought he'd go to a club a bit higher up...

he's 19 and played nearly 30 games for Real Madrid's first team. Hardly what I'd call a career on the "downhill"

An Agent ITK wannabe unfortunately. All the proper Journalists maintain there is an interest of some kind in Astori from Milan.

 

Judgement call needed on this at some point in the window then. We might get away with it at Villa, but not having a new centre half in for the Everton game would be suicidal.

'Good news for Soton, AC Milan are in talks with Federico Peluso a promising CB, they only want one of Peluso/ Astori. #saintsfc'

 

Who tweeted that?

 

 

Deanovski didn't put the source of that quote in his post. It is from a random person on Twitter with no link, so lacks credibility.

No link with the player but as he's available would love to get Royston Drenthe. A left back left winger that went to Real Madrid back in the day for Euros 14 Million. Thought he showed great speed and talent at Everton last year and at only 25 has plenty of years left in the tank.

 

The same royston drenthe that failed to turn up for training on time at everton persistently and was sacked by everton for breach of discipline.

 

No thanks
