Considering how shit Kebe is and the fact that there are no signs of another Right MIdfielder arriving anytime soon, do you think we should have kept Oster at the club.
He might not have been fantastic for us in the Prem, but in the Champsionsip, he was not too bad and could have done a job this season, and from what we have seen so far, he is miles better than Kebe.
In Hindsight, Should we have kept Oster?

At least Oster could cross.
Kebe does low passes.

No. Kebe is better defensively. Lets give the guy some more games to settle in.

No.
We should have replaced him with someone decent. Neither Oster or Kebe are remotely good enough.

What AP said. A third way.

'greed
LOL @ Reading fans passing judgement after a handful of games........
fickle as ever
Although kebe is a bit lanky and falls over too much i would rather have him than some shitty welsh bloke
Oster always tried to do inventive passes which never worked wheras kebe just runs with it
Would be good if we could get a new RM i before september as kebe isnt good enough to be starting - he should be used as an impact player

That's not fickle. In fact, its probably the opposite of fickle.
We should of sacked the manager mate, then this problem would of been addressed.

Should we have kept Oster?
Should we have kept DLC?
Should we have kept Coppell?
As things stand yes, yes and no.

Oster's signed for Palace for 6 months. Bet he plays a blinder for them on August 30th.

Yes - binned Kebe instead
Yes - preferably on a 6 month contract
Yes - even if this season is a relative failure I think it will still leave us stronger at the end than we would have been without Coppell.

Unfortunately we couldn't really bin a player we'd just given a contract too a few months before.
How do you think keeping Coppell this season and it being a failure will result in us being stronger than replacing him two months ago?

It wouldn't have been fair to Oster to keep him on. A vocal minority of Reading supporters had decided he was complete and utter crap and a complete waste of oxygen, and so the decent thing was to allow him a new start somewhere else where he wouldn't get the same level of abuse.

There is no law stating you can't release a player just because you signed them 5 months previously. Just accept he had potential, but couldn't cut it.
I think we'd have lost more players with Coppell leaving and would languish mid-table to bottom half without him. He is the man most likely to take us back up IMO and 1 game is not enough to change my mind.

He started playing well when he had a contract to play for though ...
