Signing a Reading player who isn't even first choice in a Championship side. 

 

This is beyond a joke, it's even more pathetic than signing Papy whateverhisnameis.

He looks delighted.

Probably been reading what we've had to say on here.

IT'S OK MICHAEL, WE KNOW YOU ARE LURKING, INTRODUCE YOURSELF

Edited by Zeta Orionis

still happy for him though, can't imagine the feeling of signing for the club you support when to be fair he himself probably thought he have no chance

Good point, I'm pleased for him, but at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if he never got a game.

I want the number 7 shirt, i am the Messiah and so's my wife. :smile:

You are both omnipotent or ominopresent at the same time? :laugh:

I seriously doubt Chelsea have the first team in mind straight away. I also wouldn't pay too much attention to the fact he's 23, the rate he's come on in the last two years is pretty impressive, he's a late bloomer. I certainly think he has the attributes to be a top quality defender, but it's just Chelsea seems like the deep end and he's not ready for it. 

 

He needs another season with us (looking like part of the deal) or a season with a bottom half Premier League side. 

 

Saw that last line and where we are currently in the league and this thread is now making me even more depressed!

So, us then?

Well he could just have stayed with us if that's what he needs ;)

So he got hooked in favour of Anton Ferdinand (see Footballoholic's post on page 7, can't quote it unfortunately) ? That sounds promosing.

Remember all this folks, for a future pub quiz!

When we all meet to drown our sorrows in 2034 as Liverpool lift the premier league trophy.

How has he been this season?

Manager Steve Clarke dropped Hector from Reading’s starting XI after the opening day defeat at Birmingham. During that game he allowed Blues striker Clayton Donaldson to drag him out of position with relative ease and made a crucial mistake in the build-up to Birmingham’s second goal - trying to take the ball down on the touchline rather than kicking to touch, he trod on the ball and allowed Donaldson to cross for Jon Toral.

He would later be turned by Demarai Gray on the edge of the box when becoming disorientated as to whether he was supposed to be tracking another runner.

Paul McShane and Anton Ferdinand are now preferred, with Clarke using him as a late substitute since to shore games up.

 

At least we haven't bought him purely based on a strong start to the season.

 

Wait, so we've signed Reading's version of Mikel? Christ, the real Mikel is useless, let alone a Championship version of him.

Jose has essentially gone and signed a bunch of nobodies to justify playing Ivanovic every minute of every game for the rest of the season.

"we signed defenders to compete with ivanovic, and ivanovic proved he was worthy of a spot by being better than all of them"
