My favourite memory of Sam wasn't even on the pitch, it was this! -

All the best Sam - you scored some cracking goals for us, had some bizarre celebrations and were an integral part of the promotion train surfing spectacular. Thanks for your part in the Albion's rise - here's to an injury free season, plenty of goals and Reading fans giving you the kudos and encouragement you deserve ����
SB is more than good enough for relegation fodder Reading. Lucky to have him.

Too good for Tinpot FC.
Good luck Super Sam.
Good luck Super Sam.
Yeah, what exactly did he do for us? Except be a good part of the best two seasons of football I've ever seen us play.

Reading fans you should not be underwhelmed. He is a very good player. We are sad to see him leave. Always gives 110% and with a bit of luck would have played a lot more games here. Good luck Sam and hope you get a full season under your belt!

Add to that what a good strike partner he was for TH and GM
Two critical away wins in quick succession, after a blip, and with Hudd/Leeds on winning runs.
Set up us for the glorious finale.
Unlucky with injuries, but SB was a key member of the brilliant promotion squad. Carrying a different threat, pace and directness on goal, from Murray and Hemed.

94 appearances, 20 goals (including the own goal he claimed to have scored against Bristol City). His strike rate won't be much better with Reading, that's not his game. I don't know much about Reading's squad, but they're going to need a good quality partner for him, the easiest service imaginable and an acceptance that the most visible thing he does during the majority of his appearances, when not injured, is sprinting after a ball as if to take a quick corner/free kick/throw in but never actually doing it because it's an empty threat. Oh, and he'll try and wind up the opposition as much as possible. 4 goals in a season where we nearly got relegated, another 4 for a team who finished 3rd and then 12 for a team which should have won the league. That third season he was perfectly acceptable and from time to time, he had an absolute stormer. QPR at the Amex being the main one.
Obviously, I'm glad he's left.
But he was an important player in our promotion winning team, he himself celebrated it as if he was Murray, Stockdale or Knockaert but his contribution will never be forgotten and he will go down in our history. Players come and players go. Is he the last of the Burke/Hyypia signings to leave?

Please note that there is zero evidence we’ve tied the two deals together, as we undoubtedly should have done...

It's a hard read is that Reading forum...I thought that layout went out with the ark! Anyway it would appear they don't fancy our Sam at all. Shame he couldn't have signed for a more welcoming club. I hope he scores a hat-trick every week but they always lose 4-3. SB is too good for Reading FC
That's what known, scientifically, as your own silly fault or, in layman's language Dwaynerissimus Bumbakissimus.
Thank you for the apology. But I admit I don’t know; I just think we need to use everything we can to shift Reading’s silly high Moore price in a downward direction.

Got themselves a very good player and wish Sam all the very best. Will always be remembered and welcome at the Amex in years to come by the Albion faithful.

I wish him him all the luck, at that tinpot club of biscuit nibblers, he's going to need it, given by the above post, only just evolving from the knuckle dragging era!
