Shane Long

I think for 3 million we could tempt Long to Carrow road. Mackail-smith being good, Long has better pedigree at this level and he''s 24 where Smith is 27.

I think 3 million is a lot for a very good league one player, look at Charlie Austin he was meant to be league ones next big thing.

And I believe Long is out of contract soon.

agree and believe him to be better value for money

Agree i really dont know what the rush is to sign Mackail-smith, OK a loan signing but not to buy. Long, Maynard and even Graham at Watford would be better signings.

Could your valuable input really not have been put in 1 of the 100s of threads disscussing potential new strikers?

take long''s pens out and he don''t really score that much, can see martin being similar when he is 24

Liverpool were touted as making a £6 million bid for him this summer. He would cost abit more then £3 million. I''d agree that''s a sensible price for him, but the inflated market nowadays is ridiculous.

Im sure reading would accept a £2mil bid NOW(loan move 1st with a view to perm) then let him leave for free in the summer

Reading goal machine Shane Long on Celtic''s summer transfer radar

Feb 18 2011

CELTIC boss Neil Lennon has admitted he could make a summer move for Republic of Ireland striker Shane Long.

The 24-year-old Reading forward is out of contract at the end of the season.

And Lennon said: "Shane is a player who interests us and that''s as far as I''m going.

"He is a Reading player, you know, and I don''t want to comment on other team''s players.

"The transfer window has been and gone and we''ll assess things in the summer."

Long started his career at Cork City in 2004 before joining Reading a year later. He has scored 43 goals in 180 games for the Championship side.

Try searching Shane Long new contract and that will end this myth

[Big Slob 0]

Contracts up in 2012.

[yellow blood 0]

Celtic have got first dibs on a Bosman

[Big Slob 0]

Realistically i dubt reading will make the play offs. If we give them 500k upfront for him to come to us for the rest of the season, and give them another 2-2.5 in the summer if we want him.Plus maybe a 500k bonus if we get promoted

[Thisisbabyish 0]

Long for me would be a far better gamble and didn''t look out of place against Man City

[Joanna Grey 0]

Jeez, can you actually see some sense and realise there is no way that he would come to us? With interest in the past from Birmingham, Newcastle, Liverpool and Celtic all of whose ''valuations'' were £3m and above, with Reading still holding on to play-off ambitions and with the player''s contract not running out until next year we would have absolutely no chance of getting him. Give it up....
