Speculation - Kjaer

[peterroyal76]

No chance!

[peterroyal76]

No chance!

Can you elucidate? Is he too expensive? Does he have a guilty secret? If they want to get rid of him and he wants to go, you would be surprsied at the deals that might be done!

Too expensive, this boy is a top defender. He will not be coming to Reading.

You are showing your negativity! RFC is an upcoming club with billianaire backing and a plan to not only stay in the Prem - but climb the ladder to Europe. In what way is Simon Kjaer too good for us if no-one else is prepared to put in a bid?

Becuase he's too expensive and we have no need for him?

This is the type of player we can buy in maybe a year or two. He was loaned out to Roma last year and will end up at a similar sized club. You're talking about billionaire backing when all along we have been told we wont change or method of buying players or spend large transfers a claim which has been backed up in our spending as of yet this summer. Having already bought a CB this summer what makes you think we are going to spend considerable money buying another. While Kjaer would improve us we had a brilliant defence last year and it would show little faith in them potentially replacing both CB's as first choice. Not an area of express concern and not going to happen

[GSY-Royal]

This lad will go for well in excess of £10m. Would love to see it, but just no chance.

Presumably, if Messi suddenly decided that he might like to play for RFC, he would also be too expensive and we would have NO NEED OF HIM? Stop your pathetic negativity. RFC deserve to be up with the top clubs - we should be thinking like that!

Tbf we have done nothing to show we deserve to be up with the top clubs. All we have done is get promoted into Premier League and even then most people seem to think it will be a short stay. To be considered with the top clubs we need to prove we're a top club by finishing with and/or above other top clubs. We are a long way off that yet, but who knows what will happen in the future.

But he's not Messi is he? Anyway, even of Messi wanted to play for us, we wouldn't pay the £140m required

[Elm Park Pasty]

Highly regarded 23-year-old centre back, seemingly unwanted by his club due to a fallout with the Manager. No-one has yet made an offer and speculation is that he may have to stay at Wolfsburg despite neither him nor them wanting that. Do not know the price but Huddersfield would like an RFC centre back and, apparently, Church on loan. Could we put money into an up-and-coming CB (Kjaer) and do a deal for Rhodes - with 2 players going in the opposite direction? Do not know the finances but Anton has just made clear his vision for the future and I would not think that these deals were not impossible.

I think you would probably by looking at a bill in excess of £15M plus wages and the the two RFC players if this went ahead. Kjaer was talked about in awe inspiring terms a few seasons ago, and unless the wheels have fallen off completely (then why would we want him?), he will still probably go to a top European side for £10M plus. This is not negativity, if he does go it will be for lots of pennies. It would not be negative to say we would not get him, there are occasions when we have to accept the place we currently are, as pretty much an unknown quantity in the Premier League. Jordan Rhodes has been discussed elsewhere.

How about a year long loan, if wages permit, with a deal to purchase if desired at the end of it. This would help us in the initial 'first year' Premiership, and allow for the doubters, who think we will go back down. I really expect us to both stay up and do very well over an extended number of years!

While not completely out of the question for him to come to a club like reading. 1) he will be able to get a loan at a better club and there will be better clubs after him and 2) Its not an area of immediate concern for us, although we would all love a really good CB to come and play there are other areas we are going to be looking at before we try and get a player in for an area we have already strengthened

[Elm Park Pasty]

It has'nt happened yet and the clock is stil ticking!

What is this Countdown? This is not going to happen. Whilst I admire the ambition you show for our club in those players you point out we should try to buy, I believe this is another Championship Manager one where we would probably have to activate 'cheat mode' to make it happen. We want players that are ambitious rather than those that are here for a pay cheque. If someone like Kjaer came to Reading at the present time, then I would be concerned about his motives for being here, and what financial commitments we had tied ourselves into to get him here.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Can't believe I'm even responding to this.

Kjaer is one of the best centrebacks in Europe. Absolutely fucking retarded to even suggest it.

You are responding because TheSiege is rapidly becoming the itch we just have to scratch even though we try not to.

in the reality in which TheSiege exists, where playing Football Manager means you can reset if you lose and there's a cheat to have all the money in the world, this kind of drivel might sound quite plausible. In the real world, it's not. I get the feeling you know why and you are trolling away your summer holibobs but, just in case your mother dropped you on your head and spent the next 12 years overcompensating by showering you with a frankly indecent amount of affection; Kjaer is (regardless of the relationship he has with his current club) an amazing player. He would sit quite happily in a team alongside Tiago Silva, Messi, Ronaldo etc as amongst the best not just in Europe, but in the world at what he does. Even if we could afford to support a player of his calibre and wage level within our current means it would represent a massive step down on his part, and as others have rightly said one that he wouldn't even consider making. Judging by your answer to football club development being 'throw money at it' i think you'd be better of supporting Chelski pal.

Am I not getting something? Over the last few years several talented players have ended up at clubs that you would not have expected. They did not wish to be where they were, but few people bid for them. The people who do bid sometimes get a star! Should RFC not be involved in this?

Seriously fcuk off! You are fcuking clueless!!

Perhaps players have ended up at clubs YOU wouldn't have expected.

So they signed for clubs they didn't wish to? Were they forced to? How do you know this, are you their agent?
