Dalstonjambo Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Do these guys know something about Kello we don't. (get reading paper) Reading FC goalkeeper in shock loan move to Celtic or Hearts By Jonny Fordham August 03, 2011 Alex McCarthy could be in line for a shock season-long loan to Celtic. The Reading Post understands that Royals are prepared to let the England Under-21 goalkeeper move to Celtic Park on a temporary basis rather than remain as Adam Federici?s understudy for 12 months. It is understood that McCarthy has held initial talks with Reading manager Brian McDermott and director of football Nick Hammond about the move to the Scottish Premier League. Hearts were seen as another option for the 6ft 4ins keeper, but that may have changed on Monday after Jim Jeffries became the ninth manager sacked by chairman Vladimir Romanov since 2004. Follow Royals reporter Jonny Fordham on Twitter here for all the news as it breaks McCarthy has been tipped to challenge Manchester City?s Joe Hart one day for the England shirt. The 21-year-old received rave reviews with Reading towards the end of last season when he deputised for Federici after the Aussie keeper was sidelined by a knee injury for six weeks. McCarthy earned his first clean sheet for Royals in an impressive 1-0 win at Everton in the FA Cup and made 15 appearances in total. If the rookie keeper were to secure a loan move north of the border, then Denmark Under-21 stopper Mikkel Andersen would be promoted to the No.2 spot. Royals have strength in depth in the goalkeeping position and are keen for Andersen to experience life as a back-up keeper at a Championship club. Fourth-choice keeper Ben Hamer was sold to Charlton Athletic on Monday for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around ?250,000. McDermott said: ?It?s been tough for Ben because he hasn?t played too many games at Reading. He felt the time was right and Charlton is a big club, so the move will be good for him.? Hamer said: ?When I heard about the interest from Charlton I was very excited. My situation at Reading has remained the same after a couple of seasons. "I?ve not really been getting a chance with the No.1 position, so this is a good opportunity for me.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N User Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The new coach may decide that Balogh has been great in training and play him. He may also decide that Calum Elliot has been much better than John Sutton and start him too. It won't surprise me if we see a very similar team to last week play, it also wouldn't surprise me if it was a completely different team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now we complain if the club tries to strengthen a position we consider to have weak cover in. In an ideal world Kello would go to Celtic for c.?1.5m and 2 new keepers brought in here. Cause he's prone to the odd lapse in concentration that people conveniently forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
