Not according to The Reading Chronicle "Blackman is said to have held talks with Derby this afternoon, but any deal is likely to prevent him for playing against Reading in next Tuesday's Championship clash."

randombc Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Is it just me that seems the fee is a bit much? He's had half a good season and suddenly worth £2.5 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, uttoxram75 said: He may have to wait for his chance to start just yet. What's your honest opinion of him daib0? Plenty of ability, sharp and quick, but the confidence factor absolutely vital for him, even more than most strikers. At the beginning of the season he was unbelievable, unstoppable but as the team burst the bubble from a second spot his clinical finishing also went down a level too, Previous seasons he has been good but not so spectacular as 2015. Think it's a pretty good move for you, and if he's nursed well he could be a real major player in getting that auto spot sewn up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Canitbé Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm going to stick with 1.5m in my head. £2m if he does well. Considering we paid half that for Conor Sammon a couple of seasons ago though, it's really quite astute business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the points about undermining the defence when on the wing. He'll get subbed if he does that for long in our team anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the writer of the article, and get on well, but he (RoyalHoops) has a strong personality and sometimes maybe exagerates a bit! Brian McDermott has hardly had any time to impose himself at Reading yet, but I'm pretty sure there's nothing up with the player - in fact it was Brian himself who brought Blackman to the club in his previous spell as manager!

I don't like criticizing for nothing, but Vydra's been a huge disappointment ... up to now at least. Maybe McDermott knows something we don't and can get him scoring freely again. Most (and a vast number of) Royals fans voted to boot him out a few days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 1 hour ago, RamNut said: The hall of shame. I'd be interested in your definition of shame! I feel no shame in typing my opinion of a player, and him signing for us, if he does, doesn't make him a better player. I will obviously judge him in a Derby shirt, and not criticise him for anything he did previous to joining, but I'm not excited by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Canitbé Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Don't know if anybody but me has read this article but it makes for an interesting read:http://thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/2015/7/27/9041185/reading-fc-striker-nick-blackman-the-debate Posted this summer in July before he started scoring/assisting for Reading, really shows the split in opinion he caused amongst Reading fans, not to mention the poll at the end. I'll mention it anyway: Nick Blackman: Does he have a future at [Reading FC]? 44% Yes (140 votes) 56% No (180 votes) All this before he notched up 13 goals and several assists for them this season.
