Guest bimpy474 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Been a while since I've said this about one of our departing players but I sincerely hope he does very well, and gets that first England cap. Well imo he's much better than Henderson, if he can get a cap and if Guthrie has a good season he could make the squad at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I think he's become slightly overrated by us, but he's a decent player and I hope he does well for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Was hoping he could be Murphy's replacement at Fulham. Good signing for Reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I don't mind him, but am happy that we are looking to improve on him. He's not good enough for where we want to be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 My bet is that he'll end up at Reading. Just a guess. ITK. Shame we didn't get a fee for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Glass Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 His lack of natural fitness will always hold him back. I think he's a good player, but I do agree with this. For all his positives, it seems his fitness is something that is might be an ongoing issue for him in his career. As a professional footballer he should be able to put in a good 90 minute shift, but so frequently tails off fairly early on. Might have asthma or something (?) Should do well at Reading, think it was a good time for everyone for him to move, but would have been happy for him to remain here as a squad player. Just Facebooked a Reading mate of mine - probably over-egged the pudding a bit, but thought he could do with cheering up: Danny Guthrie - bloody good signing Stu. Excellent distribution and creative in attack, he can play on the wing, but is best through the middle. Quality corners and free kicks as well - he should weigh in with a few goals. Does tend to visibly tire beyond the 75 min mark, but keeps up with the game and reads situations well. Sad to see him leave, but he was going to struggle to get games. Hope he settles in well and helps bring success to Reading... and just for your benefit mate - come on URZzZ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring some ailment we don't know about, fitness should be something easy for him to improve on. With the right trainer and regimen he really shouldn't have any problems going 90.

With the right trainer and regimen he really shouldn't have any problems going 90. I agree, it should be easy. But if it was easy then surely he wouldn't show signs of tiredness as regularly as he does. At 25, he's had a good period of time to improve on it. Our fitness/endurance/conditioning training can't be too bad, or we'd have more players looking exhausted halfway through the second half. I think it's just him. Would be interesting to see his stats to see how far he runs on the pitch during an average game. Maybe he covers loads of ground, or offers up more sprints than others. Could be a contributing factor I guess, but I don't think he particularly chases down balls or players more than anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Left for the right reasons and has made a good choice of club good luck to him. Although his fitness is a known issue it had improved last season as Pardew got those muscles off him and made him lighter and leaner. My advice to Reading would be don't bulk him up and you have a very handy player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SweMatt Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 He's a decent Premier League player and always gave 100% when playing for us. Still a long way from a starting eleven in my NUFC team. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
