unfortunately i think we may have seen the last of Little.

Haven't really seen enough of Cisse to say whether he would be missed.

We do have a problem on the right midfield though; Convey looked good but is prone to injury whilse Rosenior hasnt impressed in that position.

When Oster is fit he can do a decent job for us on the right, and I also see no reason why Little can't return to the team next season. Pace has never been part of his game so he shouldn't fade like other quick wingers do as they get older.

Would Reading give a 32 year old injury prone winger a new contract?

Oster - not good enough IMO.

Blakey's contract is up at the end of this season so will be interesting to see what happens there

Probably might be worth giving him a one year contract if he proves his fitness after recovery.

Another year I would say.

And as for Oster, he is inconsistent but he is the BEST option we have available in the position. He is also probably the most creative player in the squad and has a great eye for a pass. Unfotunately most of the squad can't read the passes he makes.......

That must depend where we are next season. A fit Glen Little would tear Championship sizes to pieces down the right flank.

We have a history of giving long term injured players a new deal to prove their fitness. I can't see this being much different.

Age is irrelevant if the player is good enough. If he returns to fitness in 6 months, he will have rejoined training by the end of the season and played some reserve matches. The club will know by then if his ankle is fixed.

Yes there is - Little was ahead of him in the pecking order.

Or that whenever Oster was given a chance he wasn't good enoguh to hold down the first team place?

Little was in and out through injury and Seol was indifferent and Oster STILL couldn't stay in the team.

Regardless of what you think of Oster - he is the BEST option in that position.

Little is injured.
Seol has left.
Rosenior is a right back.
The transfer window is shut.

Terrible news for the club and the player. Looks like a right winger will be the top priority in the transfer window (who plays right midfield for Brentford?.)

A fully fit Gen Little can cause most teams in this division problems, however he havne't been goal shy this year as it's the defence that has really lost the plot recently, so the impact will hopefully not be that bad.

Michael Kightly is a must-bid-for player.

Excellent form for Wolves this season and £5-6m might just get him.
