    Oh and Jackson and Bowyer and even Pearce had signed contracts long before the announcement.

    Wouldn't put it past them to announce Holmes, Reeves and maybe somehow Da Silva and Mavididi at the same time. Would be hard to pull off but a smart move and would really raise morale before the first games.

    Please, please just stop. It's not how it works.
    Drum roll please

    I would guess that Charlton and Sheffield United would offer him far more than MK.
    So I doubt it.

    Always liked him. Shows passion, charisma, and positivity whether there's any real hope or not. That's a manager's job. Would rather that than some boring twat who doesn't even sound like he wants to succeed.

    I'll dig out my Marine and Prescot Cables' archives and run my eye over what we can expect

    Another good interview. I think we need more than 3 or 4 though. After a new contract for Holmes I'd order our priorities as...

    Reeves
    Da Silva
    Gk
    Stewart - 1 yr deal
    Rb
    Possibly a Striker

    Scouse Darth Vadar says he wants 3 or 4 more players and there might be something to excite fans over the weekend.


    A much more level headed set of comments from him IMHO.
    You've charmed me.

    Unless he really impresses after/if Holmes signs a contract I don't see a need for Stewart.

    Two players for each position. What happens when one of our wingers we currently have gets injured, we won't have anyone as back up, only the two which will be starting. Another winger is definitely necessary in my opinion.

    I'll reserve judgement until September when Holmes has signed a new deal and Robinson gets who he wants.

    Oh, and when he can adapt tactically within a game.

    I like him, I like his attitude and passion and his clear determination to succeed. Something definitely feels a lot more positive this pre season than the others we have had since Powell was in charge. Lots of hard work ahead needed still but it's a very good start.

    Am hoping that the exciting news is Holmes or Magennis signing new deals and Reeves to be announced soon too. We all know Dasilva is on his way when he is back.

    Well we've actually had a pre season this year which will obviously mean we're better prepared than last year.

    Well at the moment we have Ceballos.
  • Think Robinson speaks well and hope the team are behind him. I think they are and we will have a good season. Championship play offs in three years. COYR

    A left back and a GK are obviously essential, but I am quite pleasantly surprised that he is talking about 3 or 4 players coming in as it sounds like he does not expect to lose any of his key players

    I'd guess that experienced keeper Dave Martin is one of the signings to be announced.

    Robinson well knows Martin's ability and character from their MKD time together.
    And Martin has been in Ireland all week with the squad.

    Martin
    Hodson
    Dasilva
    Reeves

    Are almost certainly the 4

    As Martin and Cameron Stewart have been with the team and KR in Ireland, they would be more likely to be imminent signings than say Reeves

    Perhaps reeves is in Ireland too and just not appeared in any of the pictures. Maybe we will find out who has been there / any other trials that have not been announced come the first game of pre season...?

    I would be surprised if reeves isn't ANYWHERE during the first few weeks of pre season given he is a free agent and would have at least a trial somewhere.

    Maybe but Martin needs to keep fit and have a pre season as eventually he will sign for one Club or another.

    Mavididi ?

    Robinson hasn't talked about signing a striker. Presumably we only will if one or two strikers leave.

    I too find the "disappearance" of Reeves quite odd. I think it's fairly certain that he's not staying at MK and his name hasn't really popped up as being linked with anyone other than us or Sheffield United and it would seem that at present he's not at either club getting in a pre season. From what we've seen from Ireland our lads have been putting in a lot of graft and Reeves is probably already well behind most club players. He needs to get his act together otherwise he's really jeopardising his season wherever that is.

    The same would apply to Reeves. And I imagine that the fitness regime for goalkeepers would be less intense anyway
