Indeed. His inept performances generated an almost unnatural level of hatred from reading fans.
His time has long since gone and he's expensive.

He was playing at Reading, wouldn't you feel more than a little deflated as well?
It's a miracle he could bring himself to step on the pitch without weeping.
No! No giving extra credit to that song!
Agreed, I would love to see Vydra here but not for that cost. He will choose the money as did Pritchard.

They aren't getting that, actually you never know when Derby are around I guess. Especially considering they haven't brought anyone in so far?

The Argus quoted Vydra's agent as saying the player chose Reading over the Albion partly because they both believed the Albion had enough strikers in Hemed, Zamora and Baldock and that the player wanted game time.
Maybe he got the game time at Reading and now it's a case of "show me the money"?
The bottom line is we need that pacy striker and it's almost impossible to do it on the cheap.

I don't think it's a case of 'can't compete' - think it's more likely that we 'won't' compete for various reasons.
Well if he wants game time his signature for the Albion is guaranteed against that of Derby Shirley?

Having been at their stadium on Saturday, I was under the impression they didn't have any fans.
Because they pay wages that are way above our wage structure....so I believe.

Is it because we're vying for a spanish poker of playoff defeats?
In seriousness, I understand the reasons. It doesn't make it easy accepting them though when other clubs are able to manage squads effectively with large wage discrepancies and/or break the rules with little to no recoil.
Not so sure many manage squads effectively...Derby the last couple of years..Forest...Now look at Sheff Wed..Didnt go down too well with their star player!
If he wants game time I'm pretty certain he'd get it with us and you're right, quality strikers are not cheap. The key is whether last season was just an abberation (understandable, it was Reading after all) and whether he'd fit in with the group or just be a billy-big-bollocks. Jiri might be quite important in terms of helping him to settle in. I think we should go for it. We were allegedly prepared to spend big to get Pritchard in, Vydra would be an even better investment in my humble opinion.
