Can't wait for the contract extension talks with him next summer. See Ricky Holmes 2017.
Can always guarantee you to find something to moan at
It's true though, great signing but leaves us in the exact situation we've been in with Holmes this summer
Yet if it was longer and he was duff, people would moan. The club have done well here and if you disagree then you're wrong
In your opinion
No, you're wrong as a matter of fact
I make you right about the contract. We have given out some ridiculous contracts over the last few years so the club almost can't win now (their own doing BTW), but I also get that 2 years seems puzzling for a player like Reeves. I also suspect he might not have wanted more as he is clearly a player who likes to weigh up his options being committing to anyone.
Having agreed with you, not everyone has to and you don't have the right to say people are wrong if they don't share the same opinion as you
Excellent signing, as posted before on a few threads Holmes, Reeves and Marshall behind Magennis has to be about as good as it gets in this league.
A few posters also said we would only have Reeves or Holmes. I never understood this myself and always believed we would have both as they play in different positions.
Not too fussed about the previous soundbites such as Clarke being our first choice number 10, only wanting players who want to be here etc. I think some of those comments have been used almost like playing a game of poker with Reeves and his agent.
Either way Reeves is here and he'll improve the team and provide more depth to the squad.
I think another striker has to be the priority now, and I don't want them replacing Watt. Not fussed about Martin now we have Amos, though wouldn't be a bad thing if Phillips gets a season as Number 1 in League 2.
If we can sign 2 more, I would prefer we sign FB cover, or even another winger as we are going to miss Marshall.
If I'm being honest, no idea if I've ever seen him play. Wonder how many others excited by this signing also fit into this category?
Overall, Been a very positive summer squad wise. If you look back to Robinson's rather weird post match interview at the last actual proper game we played, you can make an educated guess he has worked incredibly hard to get anything close to what he wants out of Meire & Duchatelet.
So I doth my cap to him and hope we go on and smash this league.
Very good signing, we certainly have the best attacking options in the league now. My only real concern is not having a quality backup to Kashi if he gets injured again.

To be fair, how the Hell would we get a replacement for Kashi, at anywhere near the same quality?

Watched Ben Reeves a few times now. All I can say is he a talented player. So calm on the ball and can pick out a pass. Absolute brilliant signing. If any doubt look at the mk fans begging him to stay over the summer on twitter, now there all bitter.
Regarding the contract length, for all we know either Ben or the Club may have an extension in their favour although I'd wager the length of contract was more his idea.

I wouldn't expect them to be as good as Kashi but we need better than Crofts imo. If Kashi gets a bad injury Crofts will be a regular and he's not top 6 quality.
Comments
To be honest, with our recent track record of managers, I don't blame him for only signing for 2 years.
Here's he, he's a good league 1 player and adds much needed strength and depth to the squad.
Good luck to him and welcome.

Up the Addicks
Any remaining budget we have should go on a striker (& we should loan out Novak and / or Watt) to achieve that if required.
Can't the scouser just shut the f*** up with the above rubbish. Like Duchatelet really gives a toss.
