Tom Rogic

I watched him a few times for the Mariners this season and was amazed BM would even consider him. Yes, good feet, but physically week, untested against good opposition and when teams double teamed against him he was hopelessly lost.
Poor bloke, I can't see him coping with the physical side of Scottish Football but good luck to him anyway - he was clearly one of the better players here.

[maffff]

oh well.

Tommy Smith?

Added thought to my last post - BM would have done far better to look at Mariner's Pedj Bojic who is a far better right back than anything Reading have - fast, strong and confident.

[royalsteve]

He's doing what anyone would do under the circumstances - he's a young kid with some big decisions to make being courted by a variety of clubs. Fair enough that he's checking them all out first. If anything he'll inevitably get a better contract offer out of it.

If he's already stated he's worried about playing for a relegation threatened team then there's no way he's joining QPR!
Who knows, after our last minute jailbreak performance over the weekend, he may have changed his mind… and if he does end up choosing RFC, I'm sure the fans will get over it soon enough! I just hope we have a backup player in mind, we really could do with some midfield creativity.

QPR are about to spend 8million on that Remy bloke who seems intent on turning down Newcastle. QPR also have a load of names in their squad and a name manager all of whom could well be attractive enough to a 21 year old from Australia.

Didn't 'arry say he wasn't going to spend any more money in January? He just can't help himself can he .... £70k per week!? Really hope they go down and do a Pompey ...

probably using offshore funds, lol

Celtic may play in the champions league, but even championship level is better football than he'll be exposed to 90% of the time

Honestly, I think that was part of the point. Read an article about another Australian who thought Reading was a poor fit because of the physicality you encounter in a relegation battle and that if he did end up in the Championship it wouldn't let him show off his game. If all that is the case, the Prem in general probably isn't for him. Maybe better suited to end up in Holland.

[CzechRoyal]

He'll be getting more out Celtic for an easier and less pysical game than in England. You can see why he made the choice he made

[akranes]

Not really bothered about this. If he had much potential he'd be at a better club.

Another reason to h8 Australians.

Maybe we should have a look at Marco Rojas then from the A-league then...

I'm not being funny but Celtic are a MUCH bigger club than Reading. No disrespect to Reading, but Celtic and Sevco are two of the biggest clubs in the world. I know the SPL is not in a very good place right now but joining a Champions league side with a worldwide fanbase is showing much more ambition than joining a team battling relegation in the EPL. The SPL isn't as shit as everyone says it is either, how many of the people who slate it so often have actually watched it? In my opinion some SPL games are of a much higher standard than some games towards the bottom of the EPL. And finally, hahaha, we got Tommy Rogic nananana! Cheers!

Fukk off Rab C. Nesbitt.

[cpmurph]

I'm a Celtic as well as a Reading fan (yes I'm allowed to do that). I'm not really bothered

Hahahaha, I'm from Moray actually, about 200 miles from Glasgow and I'm quite well off and don't have an alcohol problem But you know, I do look rather dapper in a string vest... Hail hail!

Money and Champions League football (now your only viable rivals are playing in your fourth or fifth tier) are obviously what has swung the deal. Granted. SPL better standard than EPL? Jog on, clown.

But Reading are in a much better league then you you tosser.The SPL is not as shit as yousay ,I agree,it's worse,a joke.

What I actually said was SOME SPL games this season that I've watched have been of a better standard than some games in the EPL. As in, when Inverness were 3-0 down to Dundee United within 8 minutes then clawed it back to 4-3, then conceded a last minute penalty and the game ended 4-4, that was a better game than a QPR - Spurs game I watched the other day. The SPL is obviously no where near as high a standard as the EPL simply because the finance is not there. Celtic and Zombie FC would be the 2nd and third biggest teams in the EPL if they were there, Aberdeen would be quite a big club also. I quite like watching Reading play, but you surely must admit that playing Celtic in the league is much more exciting than QPR, Sunderland or Stoke.

On our forum someone said reading fans seem pretty pissed off so I checked it out. Which of my statements were at all inaccurate? You cannot seriously think Reading are a bigger club than Celtic?
