Great for the club - he epitmoises every thing about Reading. Shiny new stadium/ shiny new player. Both struggled to live up to initial billing. Has been the heartbeat of this club though its rise to the Premier League.
Great for the team - not his best season, but he gets on and does his job
Great goal - vs Liverpool.. we will be telling our grandchildren about that one!

cheeky +1 for me

well spotted, good man

[Archie's penalty]

+ 1 - back of the net!

Just shows how much people care about Hunty - much more hits than the other two threads about Doyle and Harps!

[bottom left hand corner]

possibly because Doyler never really had any rumours about him and for some reason harper has taken osters role last season

[hughsies no.1]

despite a few dubious performances this season I definatley agree with you. Harps is a big piece of the reading jigsaw and we really would miss him if he left us!

+1

lets get into the prem!

[rg6royal]

Good news.

[rg6royal]

He was never going to go anyway.

[rg6royal]

Good news.

Hopefully they can all get on with playing the game to the best of their ability now. Although I'm really aiming this at Harper and Hunt, not Doyle. This team should have the ability to win the league so now all this transfer idiocy is over let's go out there and prove it.

[Schards#2]

Glad Doyle and Harper stayed but indifferent about Hunt given that he made it so publically clear that he wanted to leave. Lets hope he put it behind him and finds his best form, unlike Shorey last year who we'd have been better off letting go in January as his subsequent performances were poor.

Hardly!! The impOSTER was exactly that, whereas Harper is a completely different class.

I suspect Harper will be one of those RFC players that will only be appreciated for what he brought to the team once he's gone.

A few dubios performances!!! Have you been to any away games, I would say he's put in a few decent performances.

QPR must be the final straw, it's time to give Marek a run.

Im a massive fan of Harpers!

I mean't it as he has got the fans on his back like oster had last season but luckly not as bad as he always got booed, and harper just gets moaned about on HNA

No Marek is crap.

Play Karacan or Tabb if anyone.

I am yet to see Harper have a stinker, he's been quiet on occasions and he's in a less obviously influential and positive role this season, but he is very important to the way we play.

Of course no player is irreplaceable, but we'd struggle a great deal to replace Harper over more than a few games without changing the way we play. It's not just how he plays, but his whole attitude and personality. The impact he has on other players.

Last season when Murty was out we lacked organisation and leadership. This season Harper has stepped up and is always on top of the formation and positioning of the team. The right decisions may not always be made, but that may be down to Coppell's guidance as much as Harper's implementation. There is certainly no lack of direction from our captain.

Karacan has been said by a few (who I take note of) to be similar to Harper. He's not ready to take over just yet, but if we can get him some more pitch time and maybe another loan for 6 months next season he could be soon.

I only saw one game Karacan played this season - vs. Watford away. I was really impressed with him, energy, speed and went in for tackles. I think he can be a premier league player.
