Looks potentially a good signing, decent experience
Reading some of the comments from BC fans, it sounds like he played some of his football as a right wing-back but is pretty versatile across the midfield.

That versatility could prove useful, but I hope he’s being brought in with a specific position and role in mind. Otherwise, it may take him a while to really settle and show his best, as we’ve seen to some extent with Elliott and Doyle when they’ve been moved around.

Overall though, I’m happy with this type of signing. Young, experienced enough to come in and contribute, but still with plenty of potential to improve.

I hope West Ham aren't asking the e.... for him and we end up over the moon when the sun shines from his performances.
He could be a star as long as he stays grounded.

I used to work with a girl called Claudia who got fed up with people asking her how the weather was looking so I guess young George will have heard it all before even if it is all new ground for us.

Looks like the leaks have been stopped at the Reading end. This one was leaked at the other end.

Rather have Wifi, but I'm hoping overall the maths is working out well with this one.

Wonder if this means Savage is surplus to requirements now.

Permanent 3 year deal, confrimed.

No doubt he’ll be in the squad Saturday. Wonder how long it’ll be before we break him.

Suggests to me a sale is imminent. Can't imagine we've got space in the squad for Wing; Rinomhota; Fraser; Stokes; Earthy and Savage, especially as Richardson seems content to play Williams as an attacking midfielder.

Hopefully he’ll not be too constrained and Leam will give him enough latitude to play effectively

I think the only thing to top this window and would make it successful. Is pipping Wycombe to signing Wareham. Not because I massively want him back but really don’t want to see him go there.
