Ritchie Partridge also springs to mind. Good move for Yeates though I can't see him being good enough to be an important player for us. He's nearer 23 than 22 now.Quote:

Hayes leaves Reading without making a first-team appearance, but Allen is confident the youngster can make an impact at the Walkers Stadium.
"I have seen Jonathan play for Reading reserves on numerous occasions," Allen told the club's official website. "He has pace, he is direct and he is very confident.
"I took him with me on loan to MK Dons. He was very impressive.
"I took him there as a squad player to help with our run-in, but he did so well that he actually got himself into the starting XI.
"He is at a right age to improve. He has still got a lot to do and he is not the finished article, but with a good pre-season he could be a spark of energy that helps us win some matches if he does what I want him to."
Very good move for him imo. Allen is a good manager and he obviously sees something in Hayes after having him at Mk Dons for half the season.
My very limited exposue to Yeates is that he's one of those players you can't quite put an outright position on. Not quite a midfeilder, Winger or Forward,,,, Like Joe Cole or Gazza
Reckon you might have struck the proverbial nail on the head there, good doctor, he doesn;t having the shooting ability of a forward, or the crossing ability of a winger, or the creativity of a playmaker, but he could yet fill in any 1 of these positions!! Only time will tell. Moving to a club where the manager knows what he can do has to be a positive, definitely better than wasting away on the bench or in the reserves at Spurs (see Keogh, Kelly, Morris, McPhail, McCarthy, etc)Quote:

Nice one. It mentions his Irish experience also so it looks like he's still interested in playing for us. I like the look of Best, he offers something different to the rest of our strikers.Quote:

Is this the least surprising rumour ever, could only be beaten by McCarthy interesed in Kilbane.Quote:

I only remember him by the fact that he scored the goal against England that set off the Lansdowne Riot. But, of course, I was not an Irish (or any football) supporter at the time, so I'm sure he did more
The David Connolly of his generation!!
