Miazga Returns For The Season

Chelsea defender Matt Miazga will be back in a Reading shirt for the new season after the clubs agreed to start a new season long loan. Miazga arrived at Reading in January this year and went on to make a big impression, playing a key part in Reading's up turn in form to avoid relegation. He went on to make 18 league starts for the Royals before the end of the season. After a brief return to Chelsea he immediately returns to Reading and will be set to be first choice in defence as Reading look to build on last season's finish.

    our friend Courtney has said we have put in a loan bid for him - cant see it after signing Morrison Courtney Friday @ChronCourtney Hat back on...I’m also told #readingfc have made an approach to re-sign Matt Miazga on loan. Also being tracked by a Turkish side. Reports of Fiorentina bid are ‘inaccurate’. Think they have enough cover imo and would put MacIntyre in trouble first-team wise. Watch this space...

McIntyre would go out on loan, no 2 ways. A season playing in Holland or Germany would be a really good move for him, certainly better than being 4th choice here.

    just can't see it happening. surely Morrison would have been given assurances he will be first choice here prior to signing? he had a contract offer from brum albeit 1 year compared to our offer of two. He was a stalwart for them, and a first name on their team sheet. Why would he choose to turn them down to come here as a 3rd choice CB?

Or we're not daft enough to offer anyone 'assurances' of anything. At Morrison's age a 2 year deal will easily trump a 1 year one anyway.

    Or planning for 3 at the back?

Don't be stealing my thoughts. :wink: That would be very tidy and would balance the books nicely. And if we don't get Miazga across the line, I'd sign Ben Henaghan if still available. Morrison being talked up in here, and if we stick with…
