Transfer Watch; 17/06/09
By: Ben | June 17th, 2009
I’m loving the transfer market already, as an avid fan of the Football Manager games it’s always good to see some tasty moves in the real world.
Unfortunately, none of these are including the Royals.
The most recent news I can report on is;
Recently promoted Wolves have signed Hahnemann on a free after his contract was not renewed. Not really sure what to make of this. As stated before, for me it was time for Marcus to go. But nevertheless it’ll be weird to see him at our last-year-rivals after being synonymous with Reading for the last 7 years. Despite his increasing age, I think Marcus could do Wanderers wonders (tongue-twister) when called upon.
And The Sun have recently posted reports that
“Everton are going to step up their interest in Reading pair Kevin Doyle and Stephen Hunt after Royals boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed he is ready to cash in on the striker and midfielder.”
Now this one’s been dancing around for the last 2 seasons or so. Hunt’s been subject to speculation for a long while yet nothing’s come of it, whilst Doyle is the latest case. Everton were reportedly lining up a £2.4m offer last summer, but Hunt’s £6m release clause prevented this from really developing. Then, in the January transfer window it was a frantic last few hours as multiple tabloids were talking of a £5m swoop from Tottenham. Again, this didn’t happen and Stephen signed a new contract in February. Typically however, since that time he’s been largely non-existence for us, being dropped on numerous occasions. I personally would like to say he’ll get his game back next season but who knows? Maybe we should cash in on him while we can. As for Doyle, I think he’ll be one of the faithfuls and want to keep pushing for promotion.
Of course, nothing’s been ‘confirmed’ by Rogers or Reading, but if it does, you’ll hear it here.
