    Way too drawn out of a saga for a slightly above average player for another third division team.

    If he doesn't want to be here, then we'll move on and look at other players I hope.

    Agreed, I don't believe he's that special.

    I still think he would be a great signing on a free, but he will not be playing until Xmas if he does not start some serious training soon.

    I know the Reeves saga is boring etc.. however Everytime I watched him last year he was the best player on the pitch. So would be a brilliant signing.

    If however he stays at Mk or signs for Sheff U that ignore my first paragraph.

    Reeves needs to grow a pair and tell his agent who he wants to play for and fucking get on with it

    He's cutting it fine with clubs patience in waiting for his answer. He might well find that he has only MK to fall back on. Charlton, Sheffield United and Burton will only wait so long before moving on to other targets. Clubs will want to get squads built and players with them for the pre season as much as possible.

    Doubt MK will offer him anything like what's on offer elsewhere. Silly boy.

    They did make a big thing of Clarke being our number 10 when he signed so should we even be expecting to sign Reeves? Predicting Da Silva and 1 or two more and then talking up of the youngsters.

    KR was talking about Reeves in January and more recently said he wants to sign a number 10.

    The fact that we made a substantial offer to Bradley Dack and told him he would be first choice in the number 10 role, suggests to me that the Reeves ship has sailed and we are looking elsewhere.

    If Watt pulled his fucking finger out he'd be the best number 10 we could possibly hope for
  • This Reeves thing is getting very boring now, he's left himself in a position where if the deal doesn't come from us/Sheffield United/Burton that leaves him unattached or accepting the contract from MK. If we have a list of back up options like Robinson said, surely we should be moving onto those pretty sharpish?

    Improve his decision making and work a bit harder and he's the best number 10 outside the Prem, his talent is unquestionable he just needs to match it with work ethic.

    I am 80%+ certain that Jay Dasilva will be joining us.
    From what I have heard about the nature of these deals with Chelsea he had better play consistently well for our sake.
    I expect him to start, and to feature in a lot of the early season first team cup matches.

    Of course he will start. We have no other fit senior left backs!!

    Anyone checked out his dads Twitter account?

    I don't think that'll be much of a problem. Not many better left backs about that'd come to this level.

    Apparently Reeves is now not going to Hungary with the MK Dons squad tommorow.

    http://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/sport/football/mk-dons/contract-rebel-ben-reeves-sits-on-dons-bench-during-aylesbury-fc-win-1-8047250

    This wonderful, epic saga continues......

    The MK ITKs strike again. I thought ours were bad.
    To be fair, I don't think that journo has a clue either. That ITK twitter account is right 99% of the time - he mentioned that Martin was going to Charlton about a month ago. Also mentioned we were signing a Dutch keeper a week before it was announced and has been right numerous other times. I'm leaning towards Reeves staying at MK with a bit more negotiation.


    We need him really, Charlton's squad as it stands looks good for promotion and KR has been there. Marshall a very good L1 signing, hopefully you can keep Holmes - if you do I'd say you were firm favourites for top 6.

    The only players of ours that could get into Charlton's first team are Williams (right back - our POTY), Aneke (attacking mid), Cissé (defensive mid) and Reeves.

    Robinson wants 4 more. One of those is I suspect Martin and another DaSilva. If we do sign two in addition to those then we will repeat the mistakes of every other year under RD. Two or three players short of what we need. Don't see a promotion challenge with what Robinson expects.

    My guess is the budget has run out and if we can't shift Tex and Sarr out then we are going to suffer again

    You think four more signings--GK, Left back, I'm assuming right back, and attacker, would still leave us 2-3 short? Where? Our squad is pretty big at the moment for League One. And while it isn't all players perfect for us at this level, I don't think it's unfair to say we'd need to get rid of some before bringing in more.

    With those four, our team would be:
    Phillips
    Solly Tex Pearce DaSilva
    ..........Kashi.....Konsa
    Marshall....JFC.....Holmes
    ...............Magennis

    Bench: Martin, Bauer, RB, Crofts, Aribo, Clarke, Watt

    Missing out: Novak, Fosu, Ceballos, Sarr, Ajose, Attacker, KAG, Barnes, Dijksteel, I feel like I'm missing people

    Plus Page and Lennon injured makes 29 senior pros, assuming KAG is counted and not counting the likes of Beeney, RCC, Hanlan, Umerah, etc.

    The only area where I'd say we might be a little light is central midfield, but we have Dijksteel, Charles-Cook, and Lapslie all coming through. The former two should definitely be there or thereabouts this season.
