"...it was a big club and it was disappointing that Reading could not have helped me out a little bit to benefit my career. For what I have done for them, it would have been nice."
Hmmm... firstly, what does he mean 'it was a big club...', I wonder if he meant '...it was a big club, and now it's just a medium size one at best, with aspirations to join the big boys which it is clearly failing spectacularly to achieve'? Erm, probably not.
I like the next bit about benefitting his career, and then 'for what I have done for them...'. Let's get this into perspective now shall we? SC signed you from Brentford and you were given a chance at a higher level, which fair enough you grasped and did us proud son, well done. However, you were paid pretty well I imagine, and at times it was difficult to see what you brought to the team other than a tireless energy and willingness to run around a lot. Let's be clear too that it was the good faith placed in your ability as well as your own hard work which combined to make you a decent player and an asset to the club. An asset which the club should, at the very least, expect to get a decent return on rather than simply hand over for a knock-down fee. It's not really your place to decide what that fee might be either.

Noel Hunt's brother had a pretty indifferent time of it last season, and it's nothing short of a travesty that he won Player of the Season, when it surely had to be Marcus after a many months spent saving more shots than any other Premier League keeper. I think it really is time for the talking to stop and the action to start, whilst Hunt's been in pretty decent form this season so far I expect a lot more from a player attracting such interest from Premier League clubs. Time to get on with it and prove your worth I think.

After Everton denied they made a bid and thus it seems the football agents' have been working overtime on their Jackanory scripts, the straggly haired one certainly looks a right Charlie now, especially in the light of his comment re: getting back into the Premiership with or without Reading.
