He'll cling on to his Premier League 'elite' striker status to the death obviously. Why on earth would he do anything to jeopardise that in order to request a transfer to a lower division?
Dreadful state of affairs if we have to hold on to the bloke who is almost universally acknowledged to be not up to the task at this level, simply because he's Last Striker Standing.
If Hemed does go to Reading, it'll be against his will, as I'm sure his best mate on here Steve Foster will readily confirm. Sees himself as an elite striker, even if many on here don't quite see it the same way. Well not at this level anyway. Ditto Baldock.
Hemed is a poor man's Ulloa. Ulloa struggled in the Prem. Hemed would struggle far more. Take away the penalty goals and you start to see the real stats.
