    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.
    Probably right on the others but I can't see anyone shifting Solly out of our team for a long time, either till he loses it or someone higher up takes him.

    Good point, added him and Dijksteel because they're both in Ireland. Given they have about 5 league minutes between them they're still very much on the fringes, but they seem to be players looking to make the step up this year.

    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.
    We signed Clarke as a number 10 didn't we?

    It was after Clarke came in. KR also said he wants 2 for every position, he clearly wants Reeves given he started talking about him back in January.

    I thought KR said that we would have some news to get excited about this weekend.
    He keeps on saying things like this without delivering on them .
    It's an annoying habit and I wish he would stop.

    He said there might be, he didn't promise as some in twitter are claiming and in any case it's Karl so take it with a pinch of salt.

    Said the below on the squad list thread a few days ago.


    Goalkeepers

    Dillon Phillips 2018

    need one in

    Right Backs

    Chris Solly 2020

    probably need one although Barnes seems to be considered part of the squad

    Centre Backs

    Harry Lennon 2018
    Patrick Bauer 2019
    Jason Pearce 2020 - Contract extension from 2019
    Ezri Konsa 2020
    Jorge Teixeira 2020
    Naby Sarr 2020

    We have enough here although can see Tex and or Bauer leaving in which case they need replacing. Lose Sarr

    Left Backs

    Lewis Page 2019

    Need one minimum where's Chicksen?

    Central Midfielders

    Andrew Crofts 2018
    Johnnie Jackson 2018 (Player/First Team Coach)
    Ahmed Kashi 2018
    Joe Aribo 2019
    Jake Forster-Caskey 2019

    depending on how Kashi is viewed within the squad and whether he is around this year we may have enough. 1 more needed of Kashi isn't there.

    Wide Midfielders

    Ricky Holmes 2018
    Cristian Ceballos 2018
    Mark Marshall 2019 - Signed from Bradford City as free agent
    Terique Fosu 2019 - Signed from Reading for undisclosed fee

    pretty happy with this. Personally I'd lose Ceballos and sign Stewart

    Number 10/CAM
    Billy Clarke 2019 - Signed from Bradford City for undisclosed fee

    Need one more (ease be Reeves)


    Strikers

    Josh Magennis 2018
    Tony Watt 2018
    Lee Novak 2019
    Karlan Ahearne-Grant 2019
    Nicky Ajose 2019
    Igor Vetokele 2019 - Loaned to STVV for 2017/8 season

    Unsure on this one. On the face of it we have numbers but only really Magennis and Novak fit KR's system. I reckon KAG will be used more out wide in that system. So can only teally justify one squad place for Watt or Ajose if a different system is favoured.

    So I make that:
    GK (Martin?)
    Rb (if Barnes not ready, isn't Wilson available?)
    Lb (maybe 2, Dasilva, is Edwards ready?)
    CB if Tex or Bauer leave
    CM if Kashi not ready or not around
    Winger (Stewart)
    No 10 (Please Reeves)
    Striker (and lose one of Ajose/Watt)

    Dumbing down my expectations because time is getting on and there seems to be a distinct lack of activity I reckon we need:

    Gk
    LB
    Winger
    10

    Reckon Barnes and Konsaa will be rb cover, seems like Bauer and Tex will be here until their contracts run down. They're making a lot of Kashi so I assume he will be here.

    Mavididi would be a good acquisition as he played mostly his games for us out wide last year but he could be 3rd choice for the lone striker role in the 4231 behind Magennis and Novak. As I think Watt/Ajose will be used as impact subs or if we want to change formation.

    I'd be very happy with

    Martin
    DaSilva
    Stewart (or another)
    Reeves
    Mavididi

  • cantersaddick
    cantersaddick Posts: 16,913
    So a squad of

    Phillips Martin
    Solly Barnes
    DaSilva Page
    Pearce Bauer Lennon Konsa Tex
    JFC Konsa Kashi Aribo Crofts Jackson
    Holmes Marshall Fosu Mavididi KAG
    Clarke Reeves
    Magennis Novak Mavididi
    Ajose Watt

    Lose: Sarr Ceballos and maybe Tex

    Chris_from_Sidcup Posts: 36,012
    Can't see Ajose hanging around to be 4th choice (or 5th if we sign Mavididi)

    When it's on the OS
    Perhaps he was talking about Lukaku joining Man U! Or maybe it was about Rooney going to Everton!
    Separately Fosu and Kashi were doing extra training/ ball work after 23's game yesterday.

    I agree. But given the type of player he is and the formation and system we know Karl favours I cant see him being any more than an impact sub if we want a finished for the last half an hour or maybe starting the odd game if we go 2 up top.

    So I gather you don't have a strong view on whether Robinson should implement his No. 10 as an Italian trequartista, free to roam into the half spaces and flanks with little defensive responsibility, or the Argentinian enganche who tends to hold his position in the hole to act as a pivot to his more mobile team mates?

    Aah, bring back the good old inside-left.
    I remember the press always seemed to call the good ones an "arch-schemer".
