Snowflake Royal Stranded Snowflake Royal Cracking start for him at the higher level.
Yep but I really do get the feeling we will never see him in a Reading shirt again.
I fear you're right.
Yep, me too. Unlikely to get 4 year deal, a la McNulty.
Academy player who's done well abroad (and with US team) leaves having barely sniffed 1st team.
Starting to wonder: We have academy by choice (some clubs don't, like Brentford, who we play next). We pay a lot for it, for a reason. If a striker comes up through academy, then is successful 1st team striker for several years, what exactly that player/model would look like, and what would need to happen? Is it simply a case continually of none of them being good enough? Team hasn't played at high level for several years now, so shouldn't be hard to break in.
