Sounds like a pretty solid pickup for them. Hopefully he has a lack of team chemistry from his time away. Reading might have this guy as an ace under their sleeve but let's not forget we haven't played ours yet in Dean. Sure skill wise they may be a difference but it isn't about who you have on your team it's about who on your team shows up. Szyd is a perfect example of that.
