Said all along he would sign for you (albeit, taking a lot longer than I thought..)
Very good player, just have to keep him fit. Has had at least a few weeks/months off injured every season with us, but when he has played he has been a key player for us. Him and Holmes playing in the same team = lots of goals from outside the box.
Well I was told a long time ago now that he would sign within a couple of days or so. That was a month ago.
As far as I know, the deal was close originally but he went away and wanted more time to assess his options, which he is fully entitled to do. Now it looks as though it's back on and closer than it was before.
Peterborough' manager says he would sell Marcus Maddison for £1M. That's a lot less than they use to say they wanted. Apparently no offer has come even close.

What's not to like? Would prefer a striker though. We need cover for big mag, if only for the last 15 of a match!
With Reeves joining and Fosu looking good id rather the money be spent on an all out striker rather than Maddison. The attacking midfield is already stacked.
Marshall, Reeves and Holmes should be the starters come end of season. Clarke is good enough to start first few games, Reeves won't be fit and needs to earn his place. Fosu can replace Marshall and I would sign Stewart until January to cover him. Thats the best attacking midfield unit in the division.
GK's done, defence is good but will rely on luck with injuries and/or 1/2 youngsters playing well like Barnes.
If we get Reeves, the only thing that would stop us getting top 6 is lack of goals, we would be so reliant on Magennis having the best season of his career.
I'm disappointed if they haven't offered Stewart a contract. Even until Jan. He could have done a good job for us and havubg soent a year out of the game he wouldnt have too much of an issue with being 4th choice winger.
I'm also pretty disappointed as it leaves us very short out wide, we have 3 wingers. One is long term injured, one said his beat position is no 10 and he certainly had a great game there against Stevenage. That leaves Holmes or someone playing out of their best position (Fosu/KAG). Not saying that shouldn't happen but it would be nice to have another option.

Excellent signing if/when it happens.
There's no better time to encourage ANY player to sign for us. If he still doesn't want to come then we move on.
The jumper over the shoulders on the bloke next to him clearly means it's the early 1980s and Ben Reeves is in fact now 52!!!
KR on Reeves: We haven't talked about a contract - he just phoned to watch the game. #cafc

Robinson wants 2 signings before Saturday. I expect Reeves will be one.
Martin could be the other I guess, which would mean Phillips can go out on loan. Stewart another possibility.
Ideally I'd like the other to be a striker. I don't have much faith in Watt, Novak or KAG.

We still need someone out wide.
