Thats the link for the BBC report. :roll:

Good goalscoring record but would you really want someone who happily punches someone in swindon nightclubs?


Anyone who punches someone in Swindon is OK with me
Like no one on Hob Nob has ever punched someone in the face before.

And it's not like pissed blokes get in footballers faces and antagonise them just to show how hard they are.

Seriously, there's people on here who would happily have Gerrard despite what he's done. Double standards

Edit: I would have Gerrard too but I wouldn't moan about us having Charlie Austin just because of one incident either

Lets not compare Steven Gerrard to Charlie Austin

I'm not at all convinced that Austin has entirely forgiven us for rejecting him for being too small and for the subsequent struggles he had with his career until Swinedon stepped in.

He surely has no one to blame but himself if it looked like Church had more potential...

Reckon this has very little chance of happening as Hull are also sniffing about him like they are Hooper.

An interview in Four Four Two back in March/April. Seemed pretty resentful reading between the lines, although any player is likely to talk up his current team. But I quite agree that most footballers of the modern day will quite happily forget their principles for a doshload of cash, and who can blame them? Most of us would.

Is ITALICS going to be your thing? Maybe I'll try something too...

Forest have matched Hull's offer to Austin in terms of wages but are offering a bigger end of season bonus. Surely the lure of the Prem will sway his decision though...

Of course we can. It's whether we believe the cost of doing so is worth the effort and risk is another matter entirely. Just because someone else is willing to pay money, doesn't mean we should.

Or do you think we should have bought Samba and Remi for more than QPR paid to ensure we got them?

Looking at these signings from a Dodgeresque perspective if they had come to Reading.

Palace, signed Gayle and Dobbie. One a striker from a team relegated to League One, another a player that has never excelled at premier league level.

Hull, signed Boyd, from a team relegated to League One, Figueroa, who was a regular in a team relegated to the Championship and MacGregor who has spent the majority of his career at a club that spent last season in the Scottish Division 3 and then away in the wastelands of Turkey.

oxf*rd me if that's what you call ambition.

In Bridge, Drenthe and Williams [+ Pearce] I'd say that we've strengthened more than either of those clubs.

Cardiff, signed Cornelius, I'll give you that one. It might work, it might not. But as Dodger would say he's foreign and therefore useless. Real factsssssssssss

One can talk about individuals but, it's the team that counts. The right person in the right place. We look good at the moment except at Left-back and Up Front. We need good cover on the left and a real threat up front. We haven't shown any ambition when it comes to scoring goals. Sharp would be good for the squadf but, if our Management need an instant return to the Prem, all of the good strikers are currently being sold - or are staying put. They need to put their hands in their pockets and buy a Rhodes or a Hooper.
