Garath McCleary

[TBM]

Welcome Garath.......



I never doubted for one second that Camberley Royal's info was made up......

could have put a shirt on for the occasion

LOL @ just picking up a shirt from the megastore for the photo.....they could have at least taken the tags off

[Upper West Ginger]

Unreservedly pleased with this signing and am utterly unable to put any negative spin on it whatsoever.

no.........after that approval McCleary really is going to be carp......

Smells fishy to me.

[robinsfriday]

A good addition. Will be a good asset to the squad and on his day looks a great player. Starting eleven? Remains to be seen but good luck to him. He could be a great signing.

That would have violated the megastore's Returns Policy.

It's a fantastic achievement for me to now come to a Premier League side, a club with such fantastic support.

Welcome Garath, but prepare to be disappointed.

He's from Oxford I think he knows what he's letting himself in for tbh.

Plus... He used to play for Slough, he is a Royal now.

Do I need to bring the 'x many cup finals to go' thread up again, Andy

I nearly posted on that thread the last few games of this season but I restrained myself!

Just 38 cup finals to go................

[Geekins]

We all booing him when he's on the ball? Oxford Reject!

[Libertine]

First signing of the Premier League Era Mk II.

Welcome to Reading Garath...

[winchester_royal]

Perhaps the best thing about this signing is that what him being 6ft 2 and rapid....you just know he's going to be an absolute beast on Fifa 13

Unless he's awesome on Football Manage, then who gives a toss about Fifa...or actual form for that matter?

[Gordons Cumming]

I now want a really big jaw dropping signing to get the juices flowing and not another freebie potential in the Reading mould.

I WANT someone in to upset the apple cart!

Based on his stats in FM12 I'm not too hopeful.

This is the first season he's really pushed on though, so you never know.

[jondorv_urz]

He used to play for Slough, but he's a Royal now, McCleary woooaaaoooh

[Victor Meldrew]

Really pleased with this signing.
Jobi and Jimmy will be under pressure for their places,Jimmy in particular for his under par performances for a lot of last season.
Somtimes signings leave you a bit non-plussed but this and the signing of Roberts have IMHO been terrific.
Keep them coming Brian,just another 5 or 6 to take the places of those already gone plus Church,Manset,Morrison,HRK and Antonio.

[Ups and Downs]

Seems they are keen to refer to him as a Forward as opposed to a Winger or Midfielder.

This is what confused me.

[Ups and Downs]

Are forest fans bothered about this?

The worst comment I read was from a fan who was pissed off that he had been there four years but had only stepped up and showed he was a good player last year and now he was leaving.

He's just like Shane Long. Only black. And free!

[royalhaven]

Looks good. I know he is a two footed player and will put needed pressure on both our wingers but is he naturally right or left footed?

Well he was voted their POTS so I imagine they're a little miffed.

Most of them are pretty gutted going by twitter and their message boards. He had injury problems in all 3 season leading up to this one so never got a proper run of games. First time he does play consistently he tears up forests of trees.

[Cobi]

chuffed with this

[loyalroyal4life]

He used to play for Slough, but he's a Royal now, McCleary woooaaaoooh

i oxf*rd hope not, the brian song is bad enough!
