but is he still there? After the Swindon match he said that there would be news that week about Jackson and Croft plus his 2 new signings who were in the stands. I can understand the 2 signings having disappeared but there should have been news re Jacko and Croft - weird!
I think we'll be hearing something about those 2 this week.

BOOM!
Were you talking about Crofts and Jacko then? I assumed you were referring to the two players in the stands watching the game.

As a squad player we could do worse, but we should do better
Yeah hopefully we are aiming at better.
I wouldn't be too disappointed with signing him permanently, but as a squad player to add depth. Did ok of the bench IMO
Botaka still looks like a bloke who won a competition to play for 20 mins from the bench, no thanks from me
Bang on looks neither like he knows what he's doing or cares
To be fair he seemed quite skilful but lacked a footballing brain.
And a first touch.
Lets see who we sign.... hopefully we wont be wishing for Botaka, you never know but we have to be realistic we are in league 1 . Not saying he is decent but we are league 1 and he will be good enough back up, unless we can really sign some quality. Although that is a big IF
Reeves has got offers from Northern Champ Clubs and us. We may still get him as he wants to stay South. Fingers crossed!
if he joins us it's only for the money. I'd be disappointed if he signed for us instead of a Championship club as it shows he has no ambition to play at the highest level possible for him.
Sorry Large, but that is a ridiculous comment.
You don't want us to sign any players if they get offers from Championship clubs or by your logic Premier clubs as well ?
I think the bitterness is engulfing you and you're losing all sense of perspective.
maybe but my main point is that most footballers are only motivated by money. Players going to China, players in their prime, are not going to win trophies, to be the best they can be. If you offered Costa 700k a week to play for Welling he'd go. If someone like Reeves was offered 6k pw to play for say Reading with real PL ambitions but chose to sign for us with no real ambition at all in League One for 8k pw would that not disappoint you? It would me. And that's before you take into account all the other crap going on at our Club.
Blimey I bet you were fun company when Chris Powell assembled our League One winning team beating off teams from The Championship to sign a lot of his players
But there is a difference between then and now. Then we were serious about assembling a team to try and get promotion and players wanted to join us because we were showing that ambition and they bought into it. Now, the Club is a shambles and if you read Airman Browns excellent article about the current contracts we find ourselves lumbered with you will see that because of numerous repeated past mistakes that have not been learnt from the chances of us assembling a team to get promotion this coming season is very slim. I could see why a player like Reeves might join when CP assembled his squad back then as Stevens, Hollands etc etc did but now?
My comment was only fishing for LOL's with the winky but as you've taken the time to reply i'll offer you the same courtesy too.
Yes i've read Airman Brown's excellent article about our car crash of a transfer policy and yes I do see the point you make about our chances of assembling a team to win promotion as slim but as others have said money isn't the only factor that determines where a player signs, I do wonder if as fans we read too much into the off field stuff with the players, after all they're based at Sparrows Lane where they're not exactly facing protests head on each day. Not to say that it doesn't get taken into consideration but I can still see Reeves signing for us if he wants to stay south than sign for someone like Burton.
And not digging you out but if Reeves isn't your kind of signing, what sort of players should we be targetting instead?
