Gorkss sold to Reading

[HammersmithR]

I find it very strange that Gorks was sold ahead of Ramage, Hall and Shittu. This guy proved it last season to be part of the best defence in the land. The other 3 couldn't even get in the side and somehow Hall is now starting in the Prem!

To be honest i reckon we will have a new back four by the shutting of the loan window.

In all fairness we need 1 if we want to survive!

As well as Orr Gorkss Connolly/Hall Hill done last year, this year (as we saw against Bolton) theyre just not good enough. A back 4 along the lines of:

Young Onouha Gabbidon Bertrand

would fill me with alot more confidence!

Unfortunately lacks pace for PL and maybe the only one anybody offered a fee for.

Much better than Shittu, far more reliable than Hall.

Sad to see him go.

wait 'til they find out how much he'll set them back on bandages!

Quite simple - a club wanted Gorkss and nobody wanted the three you mentioned.

Does seem strange that suddenly Hall has leapfrogged Gorrks and Connolly for a CB berth in the prem.

Oh well, thanks Kaspers, good job son!

As for the raised eyebrows to £900k... Didn't they get £5m for Mills or something like that from Sven, so to replace with Gorrks who was integral in the best defence last season and pocket over £4m profit would seem bloody good business.

I think it is simply down to Gorkss lack of pace. As simple as that.
But I admit I find it strange that Shittu and Ramage were resigned.

Think NW made Hall captain until he got injured (again) so always going to get a look in when fit

It's all well and good talking about pace. But Hall and Shittu don't have football brains. Shittu last night was playing like someone who has never seen a football before. Just heading the ball in the direction it came to him at. Hall is unable to play more than 4 or 5 games in a row before getting injured and out of all our defenders as the worst record for clean sheets. Feel for Gorks as he is better than Ramage, Hall and Shittu. A decent back up. But hey, we move on!

I think we'd all rather have Gorkss than those two or three but nobody wants those players and 900k for Gorkss is too good to turn down. Hopefully Palace will take Ramage on permanently and the money along with TF's will be put towards better quality then any of the names mentioned in these two posts.
