Got to be. There's plenty of prem clubs who'd have him, Leicester would have to be offering big money for him to stay in the NPC.

Nobodies posted any evidence about Leicester making a bid for him yet so I'm not sure why the OP said "Shane Long to foxes" 2+2=7 IMO :roll:

In my opinion, Reading for the last 2-3 years have had one of the most creative midfields in the Championship. If you stuck any striker with half a shot on him in their side they'd get 20-30 goals a season with the amount of supply their midfield gives.

I'm not saying he didn't have a cracking season last year but one season doesn't make him a star. Take away this season and that's 16 goals in about 130 games... that's an awful return.

Maybe he'll prove me wrong but I can't help but think "one season wonder".

trying to buy the league, them and west ham could run away with it a bit this year, but then again every year in champ has been similar......nothing frightens me in this league only its unpredictability
