SC likes players that are flexible in terms that they are adaptable to different systems and formations, guess that also means that to some extent they need to be comfortable playing in more than one position.
Nathan can play central defender, left back or central midfielder. One would presume he has good ball skills and a good range of passing. He has also just signed a 5 year deal at Chelsea so my guess is we're looking at him now to see if he can fit in for a longer term loan next year.
As I've said many times previously, this summer is going to be very active for Reading with a lot of changes both in and out. Some changes could also be very surprising as deals need to be done to maximise the amount of money available under FFP rules so SC can put a squad together that has a chance of challenging for promotion.
Certainly going to prove how good SC is as a manager and whether he has an eye for a player.
Overall anything that gets us safe in the league quickly - another win should be enough - will enable SC to see through the remaining games experimenting with formations and giving younger players more of chance.
