Ian RoyalWoodleyRoyalIan Royal In what way could it be a Jason Roberts sort of signing?
Roberts was a player with a pedigree of scoring goals where ever he went and was vastly experienced at the highest level of English football. Kermorgant has had a two or three good seasons in the Championship, has never done anything at PL level and at 34 you think he can step back down to the Championship and pick up where he left off in a new team?
Unless you mean we'll pay him for two and a half years whilst getting six months of actual service and a handful of goals. In which case, yay. Not.
So Brian is quoted in the getreading article comparing him to the Jason Roberts signing... Ian royaLOL making a oxf*rd of himself since 2004
Well he's also wrong on this occasion then, seeing as their career is nothing similar, he won't provide anything like the same level of higher level experience, he's only stepping down a level in the most technical of terms, and he's not going to be the catalyst to win us the league. Not keen on the signing, I'd rather give players like Liburd, Samuel, Cardwell and Novakovich a chance, but he probably won't be a) as injury ruined as Roberts, b) as costly. And he may score a few goals, though I have my doubts.
Also, what Get Reading article and what's the comparison, seeing as I'm taking it entirely on faith from you he's made any. Which seems quite stupid of me.
I think Getreading articles are sometimes posted on line so you could check and see before commenting !
Brian simply said getting an old head in can be a good move and gave the example of Roberts as something he had done in the past that had worked. He didn't say anything comparing this guy with Roberts apart from to say that they looked a bit alike.
