Alex McCarthy set to be replaced by...

[MattyRangers]

He had his moments granted, but it could also be said that in general he is getting worse every year.

His kicking, reaction, foot speed and inability to come off his line when he should do is much more noticeable now than when he arrived.

Disappointed if he is our first choice again this year tbh.

Kicking I will give you, the rest I cannot for a second see where you're coming from? He was superb last year which is backed up by his recall to the national side.

McCarthy's kicking is just as bad as Green's and he can't do the basics anywhere near as well as Green can.

That is complete and utter nonsense.

Excluding 1 mistake against the scum, he was probably the only player who could have been in with a shout of motm in almost every game he played.

We didn't pay £6m though did we, of course we wouldn't have a sell on fee for less than we paid.

All of the resources I have looked at suggest otherwise. Unless you are privy to insider information, I'm not sure you can refute the agreed transfer fee.

The £6m was with add-on's, we only paid around £2.5m according to Reading news sources. Obviously considering he only played 4 games it is highly unlikely we had to pay the add-ons.

So realistically we're going to make a small profit on him

Do you have a link? All I've seen are articles that state it was either an 'undisclosed fee' or the aforementioned £6million - they don't mention anything about add-ons.

I've also seen a few Reading sites say the agreed fee was £3m. They aren't the media though, just fans of the club.

First Mutch and now McCarthy? I'm guessing we are making up for it now when you stole Hill and Derry.

How's Mutch getting on? I couldn't stand him.

you would need to get Charlie for a fiver before it makes up for us nicking Clive Allen off you

Our fans thought he was #### after one game.

C'mon Austin, you know you want us!

Did we? Thought it was the other way around lyme.

He was with us first, left and later went to Palace, then we nicked him back again.

My memories shot (and he was my boyhood hero and my all time fave player), thought he went to the gooners from palace without hardly playing.

if I remember correctly Kev, we sold him to Arsenal for £1m and got him from Palace for £400,000. Made a good profit when he went to Spuds
