The most overated young player since Ibrahimovic...

Whilst he's obviously not past his best, I'd take Ronaldo over him any day.

i'M SURE THERE`S A PREM TEASM THAT NEEDS A STRIKER AND WOULD BE WILLING TO SWAP THEIR LEFT AND CENTRE BACKS FOR HIM

Getting to the top early didn't seem to affect players like Pele, Maradona etc

Cesc Fabregas will be worrying if he reads this thead tbh

Got a hunch he nots going to run out of steam.

The kid is a genious......end of.

Done exactly the same to me with PM's, deserves banning but it will never happen

Aye, he's following more than one person around right now and screwing up threads. Flooded me with PM's the other day anarl, completely out of the blue, like. He has his 'supporters' though, who will stand by him no matter what.

Good job we didn't get Parker directly from Charlton then, thank god for that wasted season at Chelsea.

Probably how Liverpool and Tottenham fans felt about Newcastle in the good old days, eh. Kennedy/McDermott, Waddle/Gascoigne. Just like Charlton, a selling club with the ambition of staying in the top flight.





















I'll get me coat........

Must say, the last decent Charlton player I can recall us buying (Rob Lee) went on to be a legend for us, and is and will always be one of my all time favourite NUFC players.

Maybe we'd get lucky again...

Why did you tell him? would've been fun to take the piss out of him

And the point of that post is?

Reading director of football Nicky Hammond has hailed Kevin Doyle's decision to sign a new two-and-a-half year deal as a major coup.

The 23-year-old Republic of Ireland striker has been handed a pay rise following 10 Premiership strikes in the Royals' first top-flight campaign.

Fellow countryman Stephen Hunt, who hit the headlines in October for the challenge that left Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech with a fractured skull, has also signed a new deal.

Hunt, whose previous contract was due to expire in the summer, is now contracted until the summer of 2009.

Like the Royals themselves, who thrashed West Ham 6-0 on New Year's Day, Doyle has been one of the surprise packages of the season.

The 23-year-old is the Premiership's third most prolific scorer so far and cost just £78,000 from Cork City two summers ago - the equivalent of 360 Andrey Shevchenkos.

Hammond said: "Kevin's contract extension is very significant and of major importance to our plans moving forward.

"He has quickly become an outstanding Premiership striker, and the great thing about Kevin is that despite all his success and his meteoric rise in the past 18 months, he's still the same level-headed young man who joined us from Cork."

Hunt, 25, has been in and out of the side this season and received death threats through the post in the wake of the Cech incident, which Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho branded reckless.

But Hammond insisted there was more to the former Brentford man than that unfortunate incident in the first minute of his first top-flight start.

He said: "Stephen as been terrific for us since joining and I'm delighted that he's signed for two more years. He has great energy levels, bags of enthusiasm and is a real breath of fresh air around the training ground every day."

Chairman John Madejski added: "This is extremely good news and I am delighted that Kevin and Stephen have committed themselves to Reading.

"They are two of the nicest lads you could possibly wish to meet, and they are both very important players who epitomise everything that is good about football."
