Former R's / Loan R's Updates

He certainly has been a special talent this season, loved by other players, management and fans alike!

He’s been fantastic mostly, and I’ve tried to keep a record of his personal highlights on here!  He’s got a lot of talent, but also a lot to learn.  I wouldn’t say he’s ready for the Championship yet, but definitely too good for League Two.  Maybe a play-off pushing League One side would be good for him next season for further experience?


Also, for those interested, Chair also come as runner up for both the supporters & players ‘player of the year’ award following today’s game with Cheltenham

I agree give him time to progress
League one will show us if he can up it a level or not
He’s a raw talent who could be a real gem if we look after him properly

I'm very much in agreement with kensair.

Whilst we don't want to overface our youngsters I want to see them challenging for a first team place and if Chair can push Eze to become more consistent then it's a win win.

Let's not forget that when we signed BOS he had played the majority of his football in League 2 and only scored 5 goals in 42 games. Whilst I accept that they play in different positions Chair has scored 6 goals in 16 games in League 2 and deserves his chance to challenge for a first team spot.

A new manager and a good pre season may see Chair getting his chance.

Chair has definitely benefited from his 5 months away with Stevenage, but I see your point northwesthoop re him being in the 'shadow' of Eze. Of course, if Eze is involved in a successful transfer then that is a different matter, and we would then establish whether he is Championship level yet or not...

Wayne Routledge was released by Swansea at the end of last weekend (18/19 May) and then rejoined them on 25 May after signing for another 12 months on lower wages.

Seems a sensible decision by both parties.

On a par with releasing Danny Simpson as one of our dafter decisions.
