Oster eggs on Chris into Makin his mind up

Reading today clinched the signings of John Oster and Chris Makin on one year deals. Oster can play left or right flank which is very useful indeed given the inconsistency of our wingers. He arrives following spells last season at Leeds and Burnley. Floyd on Football has seen Oster rip Reading to pieces in his Sunderland days and thinks this is a very good signing. Chris Makin is an experienced defender who will provide very useful cover; the one time Marseille player knows this division very well after recent spells with Ipswich, Leicester and Derby.

Makin plays in a reserve friendly tonight at Dorchester, alongside trialists Rodrigue Boisfer, Obinna Chukwynyely (ex-Stuggart), Bradley Drake from AFC Wimbledon & Brentford's Luke Muldowney.
