Just seems strange that he's not giving him any sort of chance at the moment. All this "not match fit" stuff gets on my nerves too.
Why does signing him means we have to play him if, in training so far, he's not as good as the two who started?
Arguably the money could have been better spent elsewhere. Up front, for example.

CMRoyalDirk Gently When he was bought we didn';t know O'Dea would be available - but what the hell? We now have quality centre-back cover, and you can be sure at least one of Pearce and O'Dea will be injured and/or suspended at some part of the season.
Looks bleak for Ivar, though....
Hmmm...I still suspect some desperation at the end of the window. Would we really have brought O'Dea in had Mills slotted in comfortably? With Cisse as such reliable cover?

Stranded I wouldn't say it's hard to grasp.
We spent the money on Mills as we rate him and at the time needed a CB most urgently.
Since we signed him, O'Dea has become available and we have chosen to go for him because he is a better player. Mills will train and wait for his chance again.
I doubt he or the club are worried about the size of the fee just some fans.

To be honest from what I've seen of O'Dea so far I think we would. A player of genuine class in my view and available even on a shortish loan doesn't end up at the likes of us very often.

roberto_11 The reason we didnt spend 1.8 million on Smith is because he is 29 and has played in the Premiership before and never really cut it.

I agree with you on the fitness stuff, but the reason we didn't spend £1.8m on Smith is because he chose Portsmouth over us.

Royal Lady, no disrespect, but how often have you trained as a professional sportsman. Failing that, have you even played a sport properly at a high level?
Im going to guess at no.

Royal Lady Why the hell did we bother going for Smith in the first place then, if you say he's old!

Royal Lady RZR - what are your thoughts on this season so far - you haven't had much of an opinion.
I'm ASKING why on earth a £2 million player is sat on a bench, I don't see it as moaning, I'm curious because from where I'm looking at the situation, it seems a waste of money - SOME people have managed to explain the situation as THEY see it, and for that I am grateful and maybe understand things a bit better.

Row Z Royal Madejski's a tight-fisted, sewn-up-pocketed miser - moan moan moan
Reading have spent £2m - moan moan moan.
What a bunch of wasters.
