Hoop Blah Having said that, one thing that I think we will miss (and the guesstimates above don't seem to take into account) is Longs ability to win penalties by getting just infront or alongside a defender and falling over.


Mine did! I think we can halve the number of penalties we'd get compared to last season if Long goes.


Didn't you see the Penalty that HRK won in the Swindon game? :lol:


The OS thought it was McAnuff that won it!

We can use the money to give Chelsea a decent loan fee for Bertrand, he was almost as good at it as Long.

Focher the sooner he goes the better im not sure how much more mindless drivel i can read on these threads about Long.


I too am getting a bit irritated about all those bloody rumours about Long, but I'd never for one minute want Long to go. All those vultures can fooking fook right off nowwwwwwwwwwwwww.

With West Ham switching their attentions to Carew, that brings Leicester into play or the only other clubs likely to sign Long being Stoke, Wolves or West Brom.

Make the most of seeing long in a Reading shirt today.

Close source in the club, reading have been in talks with varying clubs over long for the last few weeks and they 99% expect him to go before the end of the window. Asking price at the minute is £10million and the club are refusing to budge as of yet

Assuming that's not a joke, it's Andy Hughes - the best player the club has ever had and who we managed to receive a measly £500k for.....

Carew should be fierce at this level, if he can be bothered.
He might just think the championship is a nice coconut retirement league to get a final payday..
If motivated he should get 20+ in this division.


only 20? a player of his ability should get you 30+ at this level. v.good signing and that ends their interest in long.
