Rumour: Islam Feruz

[UpNorth]

Rumour from Clubcall site

Reading are showing an interest in Chelsea's highly-rated young striker Islam Feruz with a view to taking him on loan.

The 17-year-old was born in Somalia but moved to Scotland when he was 10 and after progressing through the youth ranks at Celtic he moved to Stamford Bridge last year after refusing to sign a pro deal with the Hoops.
Feruz has gone from strength to strength since then and after scoring a hat-trick for the Scotland under-19s against Sweden he was fast-tracked into the Under-21s where he scored both goals in the 3-2 defeat to Portugal last Wednesday night.
Reading had scouts at that game and it is thought Brian McDermott will now make an approach to take him on loan when the transfer window re-opens.

We have our own kids to worry about let alone bringing on another teams.

[specialjon]

Depends if we can sign him permanently. If not, then not sure what the point would be, as ZacNaleon says. Also I'd rather we bought in more proven premiership experienced players in january, to give us a chance of survival.

[maffff]

What can he do "Domz" Samuel can't?

[Elm Park Pasty]

Sounds like idle paper talk to me. Could have been numerous reasons for us being there.

Can't see it when we're bigging up Dominic Samuel for a first team place 'soon'.

Perhaps he will be used to partner Dom as we plan the way forward......

On loan?

[Barry the bird boggler]

Got to make sure the partnership works before investing permanently.

Brian picking two teens in the same side, in a partnership up front? Wont ever happen, but I' sure you jest.

In any case, I'm against Islam.

[The Quiet Man]

A player we mosque sign surely?

[Simon's Church]

Saw him in the youth cup last year, excellent player tbf. Looked even shorter than Tabb though so wouldn't be much use to us.
