Top Flight Moore is an absolute star. The ultimate professional.
Good on you Moore for being happy to stay on and continue to shine for us. You will get your dream. You will play in the Premier League. We would all love it if you can achieve that with the Royals. Now, lets smash Forest on Saturday and after a very promising start at home to Derby confidence will be sky high.
sandman Well done to Moore for learning Mandarin so quickly and speaking to the owners.
Perhaps he could have put his little transfer request in when the bid came in rather than wait three weekd and disrupting our preparations so close to the beginning of the new season.
Hound The assumption that the Chinese owners can only speak Mandarin makes that my favourite post of the day I think

Agree - he would have been 4th choice. The Dunk/Duffey partnership is well established over 2 seasons and probably the main reason BHA stayed up comfortably.
Which begs the question, how little regard does he hold Reading in if he fancies going to Brighton to be in all likelihood a 3rd / 4th choice center back.
No, it really doesn’t. You guys in are in cloud cuckoo land. His thinking I have no doubt would be that he would be able to impress and fight his way into the starting line up worst case scenario taking advantage of an injury or suspension.
He’d have more chance of playing in the premier league like that than he would with us for the foreseeable future.
From Despair To Where? When he left Leicester, they were the reigning Premier League champions and wanted to farm him out on loan deals in the Championship. At the time he felt his career was best served by moving permenantly and establishing himself that way.
He quite reasonable outlined his position to Leicester fans on Twitter. This appears to be no different. He stated that the club received what he considered a reasonable offer and felt that he deserved the chance to give it a go. Now that that offer has gone, he's rebuilding bridges and is looking to knuckle down again. I don't see how it's unreasonable.
and (to speak the bleedin’ obvious) he just needs to show that he is a Premiership player playing in the Championship....and that will mean improving on last seasonSnowflake RoyalFrom Despair To Where?

Yeah, he's two years older, miles further away from getting to the PL with Reading than he'd have hoped and there was interest in a PL club who wanted to pay substantial money to bring him into their first team squad rather than loan him out to maybe bring him into their squad a year or two down the line. Completely different to the scenario when he left Leicester.
I've said all along he'd be mad not to look to move given he's certainly not going to be playing in the PL next season with us, which means he's going to have to move to do it any time soon. But, the owners aren't interested, he's given it his best shot to get a move. So now he's just got to get on with things and hope that someone will want to test the owners' resolve further next window, or the one after. I doubt very much that he has anything against the club or his teammates, just a bit of frustration at the owners, hopefully tempered by their enthusiasm for taking the club forward.
genomesandman Well done to Moore for learning Mandarin so quickly and speaking to the owners.

How do we know that he didn’t do exactly that, and it was only leaked to the press a few weeks later?
From Despair To Where? The tone is fairly similar to some of the twitter exchanges he had with Leicester fans before he came here. Fairly open, honest and respectful about his intentions. I think also, after some of the criticism thrown their way, it's good to see the owners get personally involved with this.
I think he's trying to not make a big deal out if it. Bottom line, the best way for him to engineer a move is to play out of his skin for the next 4 months+ and that will benefit everyone in the long term.

The fact that the only pre season game he missed because of his request was the one that was a week before our first game of the season?
