Reading fullback we've signed?
I seem to remember his name mentioned a lot last season. Has been previously linked with us I wonder?
Has rarely played as a fullback, usually a central midfielder
He was pretty good in his first season at Villa. Think he scored a few free kicks.
Scored a cracking free kick against us last time we were in the premier league. If I remember right we were doing well up until then.
Everyone I ask who has watched him regularly doesnt have glowing reviews but if he is going to play in wingback / rightback role then he must immediately be our best option?
Work colleague who is a Reading ST holder is not giving me glowing feedback. Can't get in their team much this season.
Because he might have been mismanaged and/or been in a team full of wankers for all we know. Also, he might have had personal problems such as family matters over the past year.
There are so many variables.
I always look at things from a personal point of view. I don't say this to gain any kind of praise, but I'm a grafter and work as hard as I can. However when my Dad died unexpectedly, my mind was elsewhere and in hindsight, I wasn't up to the job at that time. I never let anyone know how I was feeling of course.
If he was, as you put it.."in a team of wankers", then surely there's more likelihood of him standing out amongst the dross? As for the theory of personal problems - possible, but surely as a professional, you try and put that behind you? Look at Joe Bennett the other night, his father passed away 3 days earlier and yet he went on to have arguably his best game of the season. All the players minds' were distracted the last week with what had happened to Emiliano, but they went on to play well against Arsenal.
Just sharing the feedback from somebody who watches Reading week in week out. He hasn't got in their team much this season and had troubles at Aston Villa with lateness, missing training etc, although that hasn't happened at Reading he just hasn't nailed down a regular place.
You never know, he may come good for us.
Where the fecks Pearcey when you need him
