He won't be able to play for Reading this season under the new rules. Players out on loan currently are not eligible to play for their parent club this season so it does seem odd to we are not letting him play in Spain. Can only think the club are concerned about the injury as they expect him to step up next season.
It's nonsensical then. Even if he could play for us, surely a playoff with promotion on the line is better for his development than a few mid table games?
I guess he could do his ACL in them or break a leg. Our thinking may be that simple. I'd be pretty pissed if Chelsea did that with Miazga on the same basis.
But you'd also have to say that 3rd tier Spanish football isn't better for development than 2nd tier English football.
I'd rather him playing in games this season that don't mean anything against players he is going to be playing against next season. Gives him a much better development imo.
I'm not sure. Obviously the Championship is a higher standard and I don't think anyone can dispute that. At the same time, playoff matches are very pressured and put an entire season on the line. Playing in them would be a great experience. He can start adapting to a higher standard in whatever pre season we have and next season.
