Hutch speaks after joining Reading

[HoylandOwl]

Quotes from The Reading Chronicle

"It’s a nice homecoming," he beamed. "I’m from Windsor so I used to pop down here when I wasn’t playing and watch when I was a kid. I’ve had friends that have come here, and I scored here on my 30th birthday so it’s always good memories.

"I’m delighted. It took a while to get over the line, but I knew I was staying so it was nice. Everyone has treated me really well; I couldn’t thank everyone enough."

"It’s a challenge, and I will never shy away from a challenge. To be successful at this club this year, to stay up and be part of something and together in that dressing room, my character is good for that. It’s important we all stick together at the club; it’s going to be a tough season, but we’ll try our hardest day in day out.

"Nothing fazes me, I just wanted to play football in an environment that was comfortable and near my children. If you would have asked me when I left Sheffield Wednesday where I would want to go, it would’ve been Reading. I can’t speak highly enough of the club."

 

Not sure I believe the last line..... But good luck to him.

Have they got a points deduction or something this season? 
 

Seems a bit odd for him to be saying staying up will be a good season before a ball’s been kicked.

Reading or QPR were always his preference mate given his family are now Berkshire based once again. Will probably get a job coaching kids at Chelsea when he's finished playing

Good luck to him, can never fault his attitude and commitment. 

I never get uptight about anyone leaving the Club. I think it was the right time for both him and the Club for a change.

Tbh I am 50 50 on Bannan in that respect. Is our game plan enhanced or compromised by him playing.

Reading are still under embargo so having to cobble a squad together. Their fans are expecting a bad season by all accounts.

And Paul Ince is in charge.

Ah right, cheers. I’d noticed they’d had a lot of trialists in.

It'll be interesting to see how he performs at a higher level. I also wonder how many starts he'll get?

I liked him though 100% effort.

[KrolMong]

If they play him center half, he’ll do well. If they play him in midfield, they’ll struggle.

I’ve tipped Reading and Brum for horrible relegations.

Any relegation for Brum is never horrible for me.
