    West ham have had a bid rejected by Reading,how good is he,and who would you compare him to ?

    The story...

    Skysports.com understands Reading have rejected a bid from West Ham for Shane Long.

    The Hammers are believed to have tabled a firm offer for Long as they look to win the race for the in-demand striker.

    A host of Premier League clubs are thought to be chasing the Republic of Ireland international following his goalscoring exploits at the Madejski Stadium last season.

    The likes of West Brom, Newcastle, Everton and Newcastle have all been credited with an interest in Long this summer.

    The Royals are willing to let Long, who is entering the final year of his contract, move on for the right price after they failed to secure promotion to the Premier League last term.

    West Ham boss Sam Allardyce is in the market for a new striker and he had targeted a move for Long in a bid to steal a march on his rivals for the Irishman.

    Best striker in the Championship IMO. Can't really say that it makes him quailty.

    Would still take a chance to see if he can cut it in the Premier League but not at the price thats being mooted

    As I said on another post: In a word: Very! Supprisingly strong for his size, quick as a Hicup, good in the air and is becoming a better finisher every match he plays. Whoever lands him will be very lucky. Be gutted if he goes to a team in our league though.

    I think it's aimed at you. This really should not be on the general chat board.

    Nothing personal, but this has turned into an area where anything but sport is discussed regardless of the description under the title<ok>
