Maybe I'm cynical, but read that as his agent trying to smoke a better offer out of Sheff Utd. rather than him declaring an undying love for Karl Robinson and Charlton. If he's that keen on moving to Charlton then he can just sign the deal, no need to say any of that guff to the press.11

Think @Henry Irving said similar on the rumours threads, although I do agree!Exiled_Addick said:Maybe I'm cynical, but read that as his agent trying to smoke a better offer out of Sheff Utd. rather than him declaring an undying love for Karl Robinson and Charlton.

Maybe reading too much into the terminology but to me a "firm offer" suggests there's some way to go before a deal is accepted/favourable.
When you then add the whole 'location isn't the most desirable' line I think it suggests that the only thing keeping him from signing for a championship team is more money to 'soften the blow' of moving t'up north!
Either way, I don't think Reeves' deal anywhere will be rapped up anytime soon!0 -
Smart cookie that Henry Irving.

"Ben is contemplating it, he knows Karl quite well and believes in the project"
I'd love to know what 'project' he's been told about because project 'get rid of all the good players, get relegated and lose half the fan base' can't have been too enticing.

Surely him and Holmes in the same midfield for league one is extremely good5

Chances are we will get Reeves in, then let Holmesy go the next day.6

If you can keep him fit then he will be one of your top players. His major strength is shooting from outside the box - from memory out of the 10 goals he's scored this season, I think 7 or 8 of them were shots from outside the area. Typically he'll take on a full back, cut inside and take a shot. He provides plenty of assists too, 8 for us this season and similar in previous seasons. Good passer, takes corners.SheedyCAFC said:What do MK fans think of him?
He's had a good season fitness wise, but every other year with us he's had a lengthy period out at some point. His weakness is obviously his small frame and getting out-muscled by opposition players.
Regardless of that, he's still a top player for this level and I'd much rather he stayed. Probably our best player along with Aneke.

Thanks mk fair assessment. Saw him in the cup at your place and he was great that night and scored a cracking goal. Wasn't he the one we were after in January but they upped the price as we had the lookman money.1

Then Reeves will start off well then get injured, get rushed back too soon get injured again and so on and so forth. Same old predicatable crap.3

Can't say I saw much in him this season against us however he does seem to be highly rated. We are light on shots from long range, our set pieces are often predictable or shit - or both.
What we need is players with intelligence. If you are not big or fast you need to be intelligent and make the most of what you have - for instance
Holmes is direct - not quick but he puts people on the back foot because he just goes at you as soon as he has the ball.
Andy Reid was intelligent and could open a tin of tuna with his left peg. His mind was one step ahead and it enabled him to recover posession and set things up (slight tangent - I saw this quality in George Lapslie the other night)
Sheringham's brain was quicker than most.
Kermorgant has intelligence and despite being only 6' tall is imperious in the air.
Lampard has incredible positional sense. Not quick or strong - just Johnny-on-the-spot
So much of the modern game relies on pace and power that sometimes you have to be a bit different to make an impact. Hopefully Reeves reading of the game can compliment some of our other strengths.
I know it's a big if but how would an attacking line-up of Magennis and Mavididi up front supplied by Holmes from one wing, Reeves behind the striker and A N Other decent winger. There are not many L1 teams on paper that wouldn't envy that sort of threat

It's because Duchatelet hasn't explained to him how a diamond works.Henry Irving said:

Absolute class act.
His agent's quotes in the paper (on their website) that I saw this morning read like a 'come and get me' to any Championship club south of Luton. The gushing comments about Karl Robinson and his great relationship with him sounded like they want to ensure that to go somewhere else hey will need a better offer.
I suspect this will drag on and we will get more and more promising articles about it and then on the 3rd June (after the season ticket deadline) Reeves will sign for someone else (after we refuse to offer more money when we've been hinting that we might) and Holmes will be sold.
Call me cynical but not only does this lad look too good for this division, and certainly too good for a basket case like Charlton, but I can't see Holmes wanting to stay when a Championship club comes calling and we have a track record of selling our better players when their contracts start to run down.5 -

Sadly with the Bosman rules that's quite likely. Either that or they are waiting for Sheff Utd to make a much better offer then he'll realise that Sheffield is not that far away, after all.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
