Shaun Cummings to Millwall

Having a medical at Milllllllllllllllllllllllllwall

[Mr.Swainey]

Losing Cummings will be bad for the squad...

Why? He is shit.

Agreed with the newbie, Karacan is useless, never added anything to the team, injury-prone donkey. How come is he the captain by the way?

Yeah, must have forgot the time he was a key part of our title winning side..

Don't you mean Millwalol?

[Sutekh]

Won't be much as he's out of contract in the summer. I'd guess at around a few hundred grand plus maybe a sell on clause or extra if they stay up.

[Rollerbob]

How Much Reading are Selling Him For

Can't imagine we'll be getting a lot. He's not played for a long time, plus I doubt his value was that much anyway. Possibly a good bit of business for Milwall, if they can get him for 250k-300k?

[Royal Ginger]

Sorry to lose him. Totally the right time for him to leave, but still sad to lose a likeable player who's associated with a successful time for the club and is able to kick himself in the head.

Has just been confirmed on Reading fc website http://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/article ... 99057.aspx
good luck Shaun never really got a proper chance

[southsideroyal]

Best of luck to him. As a supporter, I can say I liked him. Did a passable job whenever he was called into the side and never complained when he was out of it. A good professional and the type of player I imagine any club is happy to have in their side provided he's on modest wages.

[sandman]

Good luck to him. He had a disastrous start here and showed a lot of character to come back and be a valuable squad member.

This! Good luck for the future Shaun (except against us of course)

[BraisingsteakRoyal]

Can we have a slow, somber & respectful version of ""Shaun Cummings, all over your face" in the <insert squad number>* minute of the next home game?

Failing that - I think we should retire the <insert squad number>* shirt.




*Can't be arsed to look it up - probably twenty summat.

Wonder if Clarke knew Cummings from his time at Chelsea and decided to move him on pretty quickly from that.

I would imagine so, his 'adequate performances' were few and far between.

[Ian Royal]

Sorry to see him go, a victim of our promotion under McDermott just at the time he was starting to establish himself (until injured). Started this season well too. Obviously not good enough for the Premier League, but perfectly competent at this level. Worked hard, bided his time, didn't rock the boat and was always ready to go when called on.

We don't need three right backs, so one going is good, and Gunter is better going forward by a mile (although I think Cummings may actually be better defensively), but I'd have preferred to keep Shaun and lose one of Gunter or Kelly as they're bound to be on more money (and overall aren't that much better than him).

Wouldn't be surprised if the fee was very low or even non-existent as we do need to drastically cut the wage bill, especially if we want to make more than the odd signing this month. Which we need.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Let's be honest, if neither club announced this then i don't think anyone would have noticed he was gone until we played Millwall.

[KC Royal]

Should start by saying that I never saw him play in his first season with us, and with not needing three right-backs this makes sense for player and the club, but still sad to see him go. Useful squad player and our cheapest backup to Gunter.

Will be interesting to see if Kelly is offered a new deal in the summer, possibly depends on whether Gunter stays or not I guess. The idea suggested earlier in the thread that we will go with Gunter (assuming he signs a new contract) and Long I can see happening though. As I was told by a Forest fan when we signed him, Gunter doesn't miss many games through injury, so the club may prefer to use the U21 right-back rather than an international as cover. We've also got Hector and Keown who can play there too.

Agreed. A pretty good player with a fantastic attitude who always did what was asked of him without complaint and gave his all to the club and team. It was a great pity when he got injured early on this season, as I really felt he was starting to show what he was capable of and might well have established himself in the side.

I really can't see what he has done to attract some of the mockery and insults on here.

I reckon he will do a good job for Millwall and become an established player at Championship level ( I reckon someone else may well sign him if Millwall do go down and not come up).

Thanks and Good Luck Shaun.

BTW which was the big game where one of our players scored (Jobi?) and Cummings ran after him trying to stop him taking his shirt off in celebration, in order to avoid him getting a yellow card?

[andrew1957]

Like many players few RFC fans gave him much credit, but IMO he never let us down when he played for us. I will always remember his performance at RW against Cardiff in the play off game - when he was excellent.

But the truth is that both Gunter and Kelly are better options and so he needed to go for the good of his career. He is not going to be PL quality and so lower level Championship/top League 1 is about right for him.

Good luck Shaun. I hope it goes well for you at Millwall.

I assume for us it means that we will sign the left back we have on trial soon. If so this is good business all round.

+1

Sorry to see him go

[PistolPete]

Never got going at Reading, yet I'd prefer him in the squad to Kelly - now why has Kelly been so bad here?!
