* A Sunday tabloid has reported that talented striker Simon Church is being monitored by Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez after he was recommended by Wales assistant manager Roy Evans as a possible buy next summer.

Church, a full Wales international, is one of Reading’s prized assets and Royals will be eager to keep hold of the 20-year-old at all costs.

Interesting...

Surely, the title of that thread indicates that the thread will be about Church and his involvement in the Welsh national team?
This is reactions to the rumour that Church may be being monitored.

To be honest, when i read the story on Sunday morning, that was the first place i looked to see if it had been posted

Take the money.

You mean, take the money... and not spend any of it. The club is financially safe compared to most others and it would be outrageous if we started selling our best assets and just putting it in the bank. I hope nothing comes of this rumour as I reckon this year could end up being a highlight for Mr Church at Reading FC.

Be a bit hard to refuse him the opportunity to go to Liverpool though. He's hardly going to be happy for us to do that.

I think it would be hard to refuse going to a premier team that's going to offer first team football. He wouldn't get that at liverpool though. They have signed a lot of young players over the years and have a registered first team squad of over 40 players, yet hardly any of those young gems have been given the chance to play. I remember a few years ago they signed le tallec and pongolle on the back of these two players winning players of the tournament in the fifa world youth championships. They beat off a lot of competition to get them and then left them to rot in the reserves. If Church has all this potential, I think at 20 years of age he would want more of a chance to show it.

Think there's plenty more to cut there.

Are they still monitoring him?

yes and having a good laugh

... at the rest of the team. Church has fed off scraps whenever he has played, and those scraps would be difficult to work with even if you had Drogba up top.

Even when he played on the wing he looked pretty hopeless to me. I'm not saying he's not got any ability - but on current showing I don't think Torres will be quaking in his boots.

They've just realised why they sacked Roy Evans.
