We seem to be associated with every free player going - think this is no 54 or 55 but it is the 1st GK...!

[i_kingsley]

why should / would we sign him when we have feds and 2 good back up keepers
unless we have had a really good offer for feds then there might be more to it
i hope feds isnt going anywhere but may be he has been scouted by one of the big 4 ????? ( who knows i dont )

[pea]

going to malaga

[M-U-R-T-Y]

At least, from his point of view, if he signs then he won't concede any more goals against Reading.

[DOYLERSAROYALER]

If Federici went , I'd rather McCarthy in goal ...Green too error prone and the ultimate flapper

...but can't see Federici wanting to go now club in Premiership anyway ...

..no doubt a Fordham scoop in tmws rag

[peterroyal76]

Rob Green can f*ck off.
Although he will probably do ok if he goes to Spain where you can't look at a keeper and they're not expected to catch the ball.

[From Despair To Where?]

Do we really need a back up for our back up keeper's back up?

[robbieroyal]

Silly to even think this with Feds, McCarthy and Mikkel on the books.

No chance.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

This rumour is utter bollox. 1) he is shit 2) We have more than enough ability in that area & have far more pressing priorities than GK.

Fed & McCarthy > Green

Ditto

[Cobi]

Would be a slit your wrists signing. fuk right off.

[Royal Ginger]

Never did I think Reading fans would be in a position to say a resounding "no thanks" the most recent England goal keeper. What times we live in!

[retro royal]

Worst rumour ever, West Ham offered £35k a week, Green wants £45k, can't see us paying any player £35k a week especially a goal keeper

even worse than that, blackpool

[Caskeys Lovechild]

Robert Green isn't worth 35p a week, let alone £35,000. How this little twerp is allowed anywhere near the England set up, when the U21's goalkeeper, and our own Alex McCarthy are 5000,0000000000 times better than him, is beyond me. I suppose it's for his "International experience" (of letting England down at crucial moments, in crucial games). I've watched him play for club and country in the last few years, and I've never see him put in a performance worth more than 5/10. No, no, and an absolute NO!

[SpaceCruiser]

Uh?!? Is Wet Sham letting him go?

No surprise. As some of you may have noticed that I posted up some stats on GF about his performances v Reading....

No thanks, he's utter dogshit.

[Big Ern]

Can't Believe some people are saying he is shite!!! He may not be the best keeper in the world, but would do a good job for many teams in the top division.

Can't see this happening at all though. We have more pressing needs in terms of strengthening the squad and are well covered in the GK department. Ultimately, if we wanted to leave West Ham, I don't think he would come to us anyway. Maybe a big last payday on the continent will be the most likely destination.

[Alan Partridge]

Green will go to QPR, Jaaskelainen to West Ham, Kenny to Leeds.

He's a great goalkeeper. If the only goalkeeper you have to compare him to is Simon Sheppard.....
