phillthefox Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 think he would be great for us but rumour is he off to prem team, and 6m would be a hefty price, prefer someone like billy sharp
Bugg Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 Long has had one good season, the season before Reading fans didn't rate him at all. Spending £8million on him would be a terrible bit of business.
Sniffer-Clarke Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 I would be very surprised if Sven was interested in S.L. he does not possess blistering pace and thats a must in Svens criteria in strikers,according to the rumours WH have offered £8m inc add ons
Spiritwalker Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 Look I'm not saying he is worth 8m but have you seen him play? He has blistering pace.
MboroFox Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 I read earlier that west ham have made a bid of £5 Million for him, Suerely we can beat that and after all we are the mighty foxes.....
Happy Fox Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 I read earlier that west ham have made a bid of £5 Million for him, Suerely we can beat that and after all we are the mighty foxes..... It is a 8m, 5m + 3m add ons
wellyfox Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 It is a 8m, 5m + 3m add ons And if you pay 8mill in the end he is gonna want the wages to go with that tag. We wont pay the yak so we are not gonna pay him. The 8 mill maybe possible but the wage would cause unrest. Sorry imo this is a no go. PS if we gonna get him buy the yak for 4mill spend the other 4mill as a signing on fee n pay yak 25k a week. IMO
HoustonFox Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 Let's just buy all the good Reading players up so we get to the playoff final and then lose...
Sniffer-Clarke Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 Agree wellyfox,but to be fair to him i have only seen him a couple of times but he never put me on the edge of my seat

Sniffer-Clarke Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 I hope your joking, he's quite quick. Not like Maynard
Bettsj2 Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 Hmmm Not as good as any of the other strikers we've ACTUALLY been linked with.
escos Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 Strange one this, not saying he isn't any good but £8m is laughable for a player who has had one good season!
Happy Fox Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 West Ham make a new bid http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jul/26/shane-long-west-ham-reading West Ham United have returned to Reading with an improved bid for Shane Long after their initial offer was rejected. It is understood that Reading are looking for a minimum guaranteed payment of £7m for the 24-year-old striker, which is more than West Ham are willing to hand over for a player who has only one year remaining on his contract. West Ham are, however, determined to sign Long and have gone back to Reading with a new offer that would see them pay a more significant chunk of their £8m valuation of the striker up front, the remainder to follow in add-ons. It remains to be seen whether Long and Reading will hold out for a potentially better offer from a Premier League club; West Bromwich Albion are among those interested in signing the Republic of Ireland international.
Legend_in_blue Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 This seems a little odd from a West Ham perspective imo. They couldn't stump up the cash up front for CMS at £3million so what makes them able to do £8 million for Long now? They haven't shifted any of their best players yet so where are the extra funds coming from? I think this is a case of... ...just waiting to happen.
iBleedLeicesterColours Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 Great player at this level. 8m - Ridiculous. A player with 1 year left. Reading should cash in. I need to get my bet on him to be top scorer sharpish, Odds will slash should he join The Hammers.

Isn't that what a lot of other fans are saying about us?
Legend_in_blue Posted 26 July 2011 Posted 26 July 2011 Isn't that what a lot of other fans are saying about us? True. But when last season we had a back line full of loanees and one up front we didn't exactly have a choice to do what we have done if we want to be successful this season.
Mr.Lowe Posted 27 July 2011 Posted 27 July 2011 Just seen this on BBC football gossip. We ain't got a chance if Liverpool are sniffing around him. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2019121/Shane-Long-watched-Liverpool.html
wellyfox Posted 27 July 2011 Posted 27 July 2011 Isn't that what a lot of other fans are saying about us? Your right they are but i am with legend in blue here. We have spent a lot of money this year. But if true WHU have dropped down with 120mill debt I think that makes a big difference IMO

But if true WHU have dropped down with 120mill debt I think that makes a big difference IMO It's nearer £70m which will all be paid off when they sell Upton Park and move to the Olympic stadium.
wellyfox Posted 27 July 2011 Posted 27 July 2011 It's nearer £70m which will all be paid off when they sell Upton Park and move to the Olympic stadium. Will it so why are they borrowing 40mill from newham council for the move. and i think that move is not done yet and still may not be done.
