Harsh I think - he really doesn't strike me as that sort of character.

I don't think he is that sort of character, but I think he is one of those players who does put weight on easily when not playing. In the first part of last season at times he looked a bit heavy.

Yeah, even after a couple of games out he did. Took him a couple of games to then look a bit leaner.

Which means he eats too much.

McNulty was like a exciting holiday romance we look back on with fond memories on what could of been if things became serious.

Unfortunately for us the holiday romance ended as she liked the look of something better with better perks and wanted to dance in better company as she could move good!

Now we’re now hearing things have turned sour for her and she’s not getting a look in amongst the better looking competition and we are dreaming of what could be once again again if we contact her as were sat with our predicable replacement who were expecting to be exciting as that bombshell we dream of.

The bitter taste of her looking for better company and damage to her confidence and physical shape is too much to rekindle tho.

We move in different circles now....

Made a fantastic choice financially to move, but footballing wise was a shite decision.

Wouldn't have him back if we have to get him fit/match fit first, pay his wages as he'd be too expensive and believe we'll be fine anyway with what we have already if we are to consolidate this season.

I get the feeling McNulty got what he wanted with a big earning move and a contract to ensure his future and has now sat on his arse hence his poor performances and lack of fitness

If he was mid-30s rather than mid-20s, maybe. Makes no sense the way you're suggesting.

Just seen someone tweeted his dad asking is he coming back he replied “no he’s not pal”

McNulty along with others have been told they can’t even eat with the first team fully frozen out.

McNulty is a goal scorer.

I have watched a few Reading games this year (admittedly under the old manager) and they just don’t provide enough goal scoring opportunities.

Even the most prolific goal scorer will deliver nothing when fed on scraps.

I’d wager McNulty will either go to Sunderland or Peterborough if he stays in England, either them or he will end up at Hibs or something.

I don’t fancy a return for him here if it means spending cash to do so, the only former striker I’d make enquiries about this January is for Leon Clarke who I will imagine be available to leave with what business Sheff Utd are looking at doing.

He could be a good loan option.

If you think about, is it that good a decision financially? Over one or two seasons, absolutely!
But, he’s not getting a game, Reading will want to get rid of him, and he could be in a position where no one even in League 1 will take a punt on him after he’s done a Reading. Remember, he has no goalscoring credentials above L2. Looking at where we are, he could possibly rue the decision to not take a pay rise and potentially have taken us into the Championship. I’ll take the £1.25m happily because we’ve got 2 talented young players, potentially a 3rd (debateable).

It’s food for thought.

Leon Clarke would be an absolute cracking loan. Team needs a focal point who has ability to bring others into play.
Clarke and Chaplin sounds great.

I enjoyed watching McNulty during his time here, but, it’s best we moved on because I can’t see where he fits in and he has no resume in L1 to justify any fees or his wage demands.

Leon Clarke would be a great shout if he was available and we had the means to get him, but I doubt that. The kind of signing that could propel us into the playoffs.

Yes a great season and memories we have however for me both player and club made respective decisions, he’s moved on and as a result we’ve made commitments of our own we need to back and develop further to go again stronger hopefully next year.

Leon for me can bring a lot, he’s not the final piece of the jigsaw by any means but a good piece to add.

I wouldn't be rushing to have him back. As good as he was when he got going he came back unfit and took months to get up to speed.

Doubt he'll be match fit now so we'll either be making him one of our top earners to regain his fitness or he'll come in and do well and bugger off again in the summer if there's any interest.

Not like he was asking to stay but the club cashed in and made him move.

If he was a free agent in the summer, we should pull out all of the stops, but I wouldn’t push the boat out to sign him this window. I want to see if Hiwula and Chaplin can form a good partnership, so far they’re 4 in 4 starting together. I also like JCH as an impact sub so there are definitely other areas that need our focus at the moment. To have 3 players on 6 goals isn’t bad at all and all 3 are roughly converting 1 in 4 which is respectable.

Apologies for the vagueness. I Was talking about Clarke, but I’ve realised he’s under contract until 2020.

That’s why I questioned rather than assuming...

Baring any big movements out I don’t think we could do a permanent deal this window for Leon due to FFP (scmp) only a loan could be just manageable I’d imagine dependable on how much Sheff Utd have room to manoeuvre themselves to achieve there own targets and restrictions

I’d imagine he’d be offered a free transfer come the summer so I’d try and get him in now, MR can make him feel loved and we’d stand a chance this summer maybe of getting a permanent deal potentially.
