    So what's his agent coming with him for? Negotiate a bigger portion of chips at half time?

    If they get any kind of special treatment.. say 15 chips or more, I will be sending the club a strongly worded email.

    Peterborough' manager says he would sell Marcus Maddison for £1M. That's a lot less than they use to say they wanted. Apparently no offer has come even close.

    What's not to like? Would prefer a striker though. We need cover for big mag, if only for the last 15 of a match!

    With Reeves joining and Fosu looking good id rather the money be spent on an all out striker rather than Maddison. The attacking midfield is already stacked.

    Marshall, Reeves and Holmes should be the starters come end of season. Clarke is good enough to start first few games, Reeves won't be fit and needs to earn his place. Fosu can replace Marshall and I would sign Stewart until January to cover him. Thats the best attacking midfield unit in the division.

    GK's done, defence is good but will rely on luck with injuries and/or 1/2 youngsters playing well like Barnes.

    If we get Reeves, the only thing that would stop us getting top 6 is lack of goals, we would be so reliant on Magennis having the best season of his career.

    ... and not going down in a heap of injuries.

    Robinson wants 2 signings before Saturday. I expect Reeves will be one.

    Martin could be the other I guess, which would mean Phillips can go out on loan. Stewart another possibility.

    Ideally I'd like the other to be a striker. I don't have much faith in Watt, Novak or KAG.

    I'm disappointed if they haven't offered Stewart a contract. Even until Jan. He could have done a good job for us and havubg soent a year out of the game he wouldnt have too much of an issue with being 4th choice winger.

    I'm also pretty disappointed as it leaves us very short out wide, we have 3 wingers. One is long term injured, one said his beat position is no 10 and he certainly had a great game there against Stevenage. That leaves Holmes or someone playing out of their best position (Fosu/KAG). Not saying that shouldn't happen but it would be nice to have another option.

    We still need someone out wide.

    Sounds to me like Stewart might only come in if Reeves doesn't.

    Since Reeves was at the stadium today and is reported to sign tomorrow, we can forget about Stewart.

    I just dont see where else Reeves will go if he doesnt sign for us... His whole Summer appears to have revolved about him coming to the Valley and surely if he was gonna join another club he'd have done so long ago.

    Its a shame players are so wooden with their interviews when they join now as it would be interesting to properly hear whats happened

    What I can't understand is if Reeves really was any good why hasn't another club stepped in for him yet?

    I'm finding it hard to get excited about this one tbh.

    Erm one is a 10 the other is a winger. They dint really cover the same positions.

    Whilst Reeves is the better player I think we have a bigger need for someone out wide.

    Maddison has too much baggage - we aren't interested

    One of those players that could be amazing but needs to sort his noggin out

    Hmmm... ok. The disguised pass for the goal at 1.41 was nice I admit.

    We would be interested, it's the costs involved that would rule maddison out

    Agree though I don't think KR will be allowed a signing in both positions. He'll be expected to move Fosu around and make use of players like KAG, Watt etc if needed.

    Our squad has had a really intensive pre season programme, set out exactly to KR's desires.

    What has Reeves been doing in pre season? I'd be really surprised if it's to the same intensity, indeed I can't see him starting on Saturday, as he'll probably be playing catch up with the rest of the squad.

    Reeves is a quality player. Would be a massive coup
