If, we don't go up (and being a City fan I am the eternal pessimist), could both or either of those two do a job for us as squad players next season?
Your thoughts please folks....

Have you seen Charlie Adam play this season?Originally Posted by Mr Soul '68
no thanks
Adam is a shadow of his former self.
No for both for me
I’d be interested in Gunter at the right price because we’ve struggled at right back, for some time.
Gunter or Sanderson? I know who I would prefer.
I'd bring in Gunter as a squad player. Hard no for Adam.
I think Gunter would be a good shout in the Championship. He is a good character and could still do a job on the pitch. It would also be nice to have a Welsh boy and Cardiff fan around the place.
I'd have Gunter back tomorrow. Reliable, decent going forward, can defend ok. I'd even have him as back up if we got promoted.
I get the points you're making, Eric, but he would't be that cheap in terms of championship wages, i wouldn't be surprised if that's one of the reasons why reading have shifted him, Gunter and Adam would've been costing reading a fair few quid i wages. As for the playing side, I think that we should be aiming a little higher in terms of quality and dare i say the risk factor in terms of developing either a homegrown player or a youngster like Sanderson. For me, bringing Gunter in would be a bit of a kop out, an easy option. He's not going to get any better, most championship sides know his weaknesses. Not for me.
Gunter would be a savvy bit of business, even just as a back up in championship. Wouldn't get many better back up right back's on a free.
No dis respect, but how do you know? unless you've watched him play over the last few seasons. I have no idea what he's like as a player now, he could be finished, on the way down.
There's a reason why a team below mid-table in the Championship are off-loading both these players... they're simply no longer good enough!
Being a good "character" or a "City fan" isn't reason enough to want to sign Gunter.
We need to bring the age of our squad down. So no.
When I saw they had been released wondered when this would come up.
Everyone would say no if Gunter was not Welsh he's been poor for a few years. I'm not saying he is any worse than other options we have there but that doesn't mean he is good enough.
Reading have financial troubles.
I'd take Gunter
Gunter has started just 18 league games for a poor Reading side this season. Adam has started just 8.
Gunter’s destined for League One. Adam is destined for retirement.
Gunter Bites Ya Legs.........couldn’t miss that open goal Dave
The perils of posting from a mobile....Gunter Bites Ya Legs.........couldn’t miss that open goal Dave
Judging by the shape of him this season, Charlie Adam bites lots of things these days.
neither for me
Ah, the Bluetit excuse
When we played reading at home my mate said "who the hell is that fat old man on the pitch?".
It was Charlie Adam.
He looked like some middle aged bloke had won a competition to be on the pitch for a testimonial game.
Hard to believe he played for Liverpool. Spent 7 years in the EPL with Stoke too. So he won't be hurting for cash.
