Wasn’t at all impressed with him in the POs. Happy to miss out on this one

It's a Twitter rumour. Not much to say other than it's a rumour.

Cant see us outbidding other teams for him anyhow.

Didn’t Reading half try for him last summer but gave up as O’Shea arrived :roll:

This summer he’ll be going to a lower PL club or top end Championship club

So definitely missed the boat on him.

Wonder if Reading could get Miazga back on loan for a season.though - be my preferred option anyway.

Miazga will be going somewhere because he has no chance of making the cut forChelsea’s PL squad next season.

You could give his position, age, club, likely fee, any things that could be behind the move, and whether you think it is a good idea.

Yeah, not all of us trawl Twitter for every teeny rumour to instantly know what you're talking about when you post just a really common name.

Matt Clarke
Age : 22
Position : CB
Team : Portsmouth
Price range : No idea

From the Portsmouth News : Brighton have "emerged frontrunners". However, other teams are interested. "The likes of Watford, Leeds, Hull and Reading have all been touted as potential destinations for Clarke next term"

Would be a decent signing IMO. Has always looked solid and still at a young age. However, with all the teams competing for his signature, not sure that it'll happen

Didnt think any of that was a good idea. Hes a footballer most football fans of clubs below the pl would know and it's highly unlikely we are 1. Actually in for him and 2. Likely to get him.

Everything anyone needed to know was in the title and OP. His name, the fact it's a rumour and that I think its unlikely.

Clearly I meant the former Rotherham goalkeeper who retired in 2004.

I doubt that very much! Most Championship and League 2 clubs care less about League One than Premier League fans care about the Championship. I'm afraid that I personally couldn't name a single player currently playing there. I just don't have the time to play FM any more and I'm much more likely to check up on how Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson are doing in the Bundesliga than who the best League One centre backs are.

Hope I don't sound judgemental or anything but in short I think people like you, CountryRoyal and linkenholtroyal have a much better knowledge of League One/Two than the average Nobber and may sometimes overlook just how clueless the rest of us are!

I couldn't name any players in many Championship sides let alone know all L1 sides' best players.

If the rumour is worth so little effort, just don't share it. If it's worth sharing, stick up some actually useful information.

Honestly because of my pretty poor knowledge of league 1 and league 2 and the fact that I have heard/read about him several times this season was why i assumed he was common knowledge.

I didnt see anyone complaining kn the Hiram Boateng thread. But I suppose a league 2 player is going to be better known than a league 1 player.
