bit of a strange one as he's clearly not part of any long term plans, club prob running out of options and plumped for another on the cheap ...Extended-Phenotype wrote:So it's no better than a loan and gets us no closer to building a side.

May as well be another loan player considering his age. Not going to be part of future plans, leaves us in a bit of a Jason Roberts situation- Might be a short term benefit but leaves us trying to find and bed in a new striker when it really matters, rather than building a team now we can take into the Prem.
Considering our luck with injuries its worrying to see yet another old player on the books who is at risk of sitting out for long stretches.
500K for a proven goal scorer looks like a good bit of business. It's low risk as it's a 1.5 year not a 4 year contract and Brian gets a bit of experience into the team at the same time. Samuel can continue to develop on loan and aim for a squad place latter part of this season/start of next.
When was the last time Reading bought a decent striker?
If Samuel looks a good prospect and someone offered £1.5 - 2m the club would sell him in the blink of an eye, and we're back to square one as decent strikers are not cheap ...Extended-Phenotype wrote:This is a reasonable way of looking at it.No Fixed Abode wrote:BM wanted to bring in another striker on a shorter deal, in this case 18 months - to give Domonic Samuel more time to develop.

With the squad we have, the amount of loanees and Brian inheriting Clarke's team I suspect this season is a make or break so to speak, really go for it and try and reach the playoffs and ultimately get promoted (highly improbable obviously) and then rebuild in the summer and let McDermott really shape his own team for the medium to long term.
He's put out to graze before retiring, hardly an ambitious signing but hey he could sneak a fewExtended-Phenotype wrote:The problem is that another temp turning up leaves us more prone to coasting rather than moving forward
