  • I thought Alex Bruce was on trial at Bolton . Not sure why we are linked with him unless someone is leaving .

    Was this 5Live thing with Robinson pre-recorded? He was meant to be at Leyton Orient this evening watching Mavididi, who happened to score again tonight in a 5-1 win for Arsenal's U23s.

    Okay, have just seen that he was on the phone this evening for 5 minutes so that makes sense.
  • That would be quite an irritating signing tbh
  • Reeves still not signed? Not surprising I suppose. If only we'd spoken to him earlier than January it might have been sorted by now.
  • You really don't get how this thread works, do you golfie?

    .
  • Reeves obviously has a very high opinion of himself.
    The trouble is that at best he is a lower table Championship / League 1 player and clubs are not exactly falling over themselves to pay the money that he believes that he is worth.

    The season starts in 4 days and even if someone signs him I doubt that he is anywhere near match fit. He has missed a complete pre season training and will be playing catch up until the middle of September.

    I hope that Charlton tell him that they are not interested.

    I'd tell Reeves to f*** off.

    Are we so desperate to sign somebody who appears not too interested in signing for us?

    The Ben Reeves deal is close, should be agreed by this evening. There is still some negotiating to be done. If all goes well it will probably be announced Thursday. This is from an extremely good source.

    Genuine question - What can still need negotiationg when we first made him an offer over six weeks ago?
  • Is he actually training with us?

    Safe to say this window hasn't gone as he planned
  • He's contracted to Gerry Anderson Inc and is finishing off the "Thunderbirds Return" movie, currently at Pinewood. Katie has found this one difficult as there are strings attached and the dopey cow keeps calling him Scott Tracey...

    Have you spoken to Reeves and know that he isn't interested in signing for us? If you have then you're more than welcome to tell him where to go but i suspect you know nothing so i suggest you don't tell him where to go as he is a very good football player.

    Do you honestly think these contracts are easy to sort out? I'm no fan of the regime at all but i do understand that signing a footballer isn't an easy job.

    Have a bit of common sense man.
    I fully understand there is a lot involved in negotiations / contracts etc but we managed to get 4 other incoming deals over the line and also a number of outgoing deals executed. The longer this goes on the more likely another club will come up on the rails and nab him. I hope KR has a back up plan.

    Let the pikey's keep him, Reeves is twice the player
  • Different type of player isn't he? Until last season Wright never scored goals and I remember him being more of a deep lying midfielder that sat back and passed the ball about. Maybe we'd have gone for him if Kashi had left.

    Really? They won't just have a backup plan, they will have several.

    Losing out on players, players leaving, injuries etc etc is the way of football. Every club (even ours) has a list of targets, for every position, with an expected price range or expected loan cost which is continually updated.

    The club will have made a decision as to if they will try and recruit another if this one falls through, and if they have, soundings will have been taken.
  • The way we are going this year we are going to be playing 4-6-0.

    I prefer an Atlantic, wet and washy, 4-4-2. If we don't get to the play offs at least, I'll jump of "Beachy Head".
