Danny Guthrie

[Yorkie]

Him and Pogrebnyak are two belting signings on paper, like.

Nice work Reading, good luck Guthers. Would rather have seen him and Best link up with the Hughton though..

[Tsunami]

Good luck to him - did very well at times for us last year.

[Ronaldo]

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.

[Minhosa]

Meh. I'd be worried if NUFC were concerned about pitting our CM's against him next season and, imho, a lower half premiership club is certainly his level.

 

He'd have been fine as a squad player for us next season but I wouldn't want to be seeing too much of him near the first team.

 

Still, good luck to him, gone to a decent club in Reading.

[Jagten]

I don't want him to do too well. Ideally we won't regret this.

[Disco]

For the sake of England I hope not, agree with the sentiment though. Good luck to the lad and I'm sure he'll get a good reception when they come up here.

[Si]

Great bit of business for them, hope he does really well. Got to respect the fact that he wants to play every week and not just collect a paycheck.

[Mr. Snrub]

Good luck to him. 

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

best of luck to him.

[Sifu]

Best of luck to him, Reading have just got a good player on their hands.

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.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I think he's become slightly overrated by us, but he's a decent player and I hope he does well for them.

[Tiresias]

Good luck to him! Hope he does well

[Tiresias]

I think he's become slightly overrated by us, but he's a decent player and I hope he does well for them.

 

If he was that overrated more would be upset about him going

[Deuce]

Was hoping he could be Murphy's replacement at Fulham. Good signing for Reading.

[Magpie]

Good luck to him!

[Dr.Spaceman]

I wish we'd have kept him

[Cajun]

I wish we'd have kept him

 

Probably didn't have much choice but me too. For £5k a week he was a fucking bargain while we had him!

[Guest BooBoo]

His lack of natural fitness will always hold him back.

[Optimistic Nut]

Seems a good fit for each other. Good luck to him.

[SteveMc]

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

[Fenham Mag]

My bet is that he'll end up at Reading. Just a guess.

 

ITK.

 

Shame we didn't get a fee for him.

[Mister_Glass]

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!

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.
