IRISH INTERNATIONAL STEPHEN Quinn has completed his transfer to Reading FC.
The move sees Quinn sign for another Championship club after his contract with Hull City, relegated from the Premier League last season, expired.
Quinn joins Reading on a free transfer after signing a three-year contract with the option of a fourth year.
“Stephen is an unassuming player but has always caught my eye and, when I knew he was available, I targeted him quite early in the summer,” Reading manager Steve Clarke told the club’s official website.
“His performances are always of a good standard and he is a talented, industrious, aggressive midfielder who can be influential in games.
“Obviously he has just experienced relegation at Hull City and is desperate to get back to the Premier League as quickly as possible, which can only be good for us.
“He has previous experience of playing in the Championship and was an important member of the Hull City team that gained promotion to the EPL in 2012/13 season.”
29 year-old Quinn began his career with St Patrick’s Athletic before moving to SheffieLd United.
He played 220 time for the Blades before joining Hull City in 2012. In 2013 he helped Steve Bruce’s side reach the FA Cup final and scored in their semi-final victory.
Quinn has been capped 13 times by his country after winning his first cap in June 2013 against Georgia.
Typical media witch-hunt when all the poor lad wants is £400k per week.
@Chris Finch: would you not want to get as much as you can in the same situation? He’s got all the leverage.
Alot of talk of rashford having a great season but I think he has 14 league goals so far, hardly earth shattering. He’s behind Toney who’s playing in an inferior team, behind Salah who has been average and playing in a very poor pool team. He still needs to do alot more before he can be considered top class (consistency and more goals for one), nevermind world class.
@Paul Mallon: 27 goals in 44 appearances, Kane has 23 in 39, salah has 22 in 39
@Paul Mallon: I think its more akin to praise Drogba got, when we weren’t all dictated and obsessed by stats. Didier only scored more than 12 league goals twice in his whole Chelsea career. But its the weight and points value on the goals. The nuance of them as oppose to just looking at a stat. The winner in a 2-1 win weighs more than a hat trick in a 7-0 win. I also think its convenient to only count league goals in a season where Rashford’s team has won a cup, and is still in 2 others.
Highest scoring winger in Europe top 5 leagues. Not worth 500 all the same.
£500000 is a lot of free meals

Media again
Just put in clauses that if his form drops so does his wage!!
@Paul Mallon: compared to last season when people thought it would be best for him to leave for another club, he is having a good season. Where does it say he’s having the best season of all goalscorers in the league though? Who said that? It seems to be fabricated out of thin air for the sake of being negative.
