£35,000 week loan signing on his way to Reading FC!

by Katy 1971 » 07 Jan 2009 11:01

I have it on good authority that Reading are currently negotiating with a top flight club bringing in a high earner to get this player off their wage bill to fund new players.

Rumours are that this player is Gareth Bale but that is unconfirmed - i do know that a high profile loan deal is on the cards.

The way he defended for Burnley's first goal last night I'd rather we didn't ! Unless Hunty is on his way and he's going to play Left Mid. Even then I'm not convinced. It seems that 'Arry doesn't rate him at all.

All part of the negotiation process. A club will want the cost of the player freed up to invest in someone else. They will want the full cost off the books but the acquiring club may not be willing to pay that. So, they compromise or cancel the deal

Must be. But why are we 'apparently' looking at a left back? I don't get it.

I will cream my pants if we sign him. Permanently would be amazing business, but I couldn't see it. There'll be a lot of clubs in the top flight wanting Bale, certainly the lesser sides like your Wigan's, Stoke's, maybe Newcastle.

I don't see how we need a defender, but isn't bad going forward and can then provide cover in defense, so maybe that's a plan.

Interesting though.

Interesting that Bale appears to be surplus to requirements becasue Spurs want Shorey !

Rather quaintly described as 'England left back' and from what I've read a bit of a flop at Villa it seems Harry does at least rate Nicky.

Can't see Bale joining us though, or really see why we'd want him.

I'd be inclined to agree with you, but you can't rule it out completely.

Is that a joke?

Not only is he 10x the player of Armstrong, he would also offer cover for Hunt in the LM position.

However Armstrong has been very good this season, there is no need for a new left back. Why on earth spend thousands of pounds to fix something that isn't broken ? You can only have made your comment if you are the sort of person who gets a new phone every year just because there is a new one available.

If we were to pay £20k a week in wages we'd be better off doing it on a striker, or a ball winning midfielder, rather than on a position where we are adequately staffed.

As for Bale being '10x' the player Armstrong is that can only provoke a wry smile....

He got absolutely raped by Chris Eagles for Burnley's goal last night. Think he's better at going forward than he is defending, decent at set-pieces as well.

Maybe 10x is going slightly OTT, but he would certainly be an improvement. As he would be over Hunt in the LM position. And if Hunt is leaving then IF true that might be the reason for this move. (Although I don't believe this rumour)

Kind of sums it up really !!

Would still argue it would be a pointless deal anyway.

Bit like owning a Porsche but having no clothes and deciding to upgrade to a Ferrari 'because it's 10 x better' whilst forgetting you still have no clothes !!
