    I'd have liked Wright, as it's most unlikely Kashi and JFC will play every game and he's definitely better than who else we have in reserve in that position at the moment

    Good competition for Kashi & JFC and miles better than Crofts, I would have him for those 2 reasons.

    Really? They won't just have a backup plan, they will have several.

    Losing out on players, players leaving, injuries etc etc is the way of football. Every club (even ours) has a list of targets, for every position, with an expected price range or expected loan cost which is continually updated.

    The club will have made a decision as to if they will try and recruit another if this one falls through, and if they have, soundings will have been taken.
    Yes, really.

    I suspect the back up plan, is they will go with what they have if they don't get Reeves over the line. Or let's put it like this, I will be very pleasantly surprised if they do try and recruit another if this one falls through.

    Would still be a bit pointless as we have better cover in CM then elsewhere on the pitch

    When I spoke to MKD fans they said Reeves was their best player. Watching him, especially at their place last season (1-0 Lookman) he was not above making errors, but his decision making was decent I thought. He also struck me as a player who takes responsibility during the game.
    After all theses shenanigans he may disappoint some initially (if he joins) but we may have to wait a couple of months to see his real quality.
    My paranoid thought (after Robinson post Ipswich) is that Kashi might leave if we sign Reeves which would be a huge setback. I want that idea to remain the paranoid ramblings of Seth.

    I didn't realise Kashi only signed a three year contract (in July 2015), meaning he is entering his last year of that. I thought he was on a 4/5 year contract and that a year of him performing as he did at the start a couple of years ago could equate to a healthy fee for the club at the end of the year. As this is his last year, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Reeves in = Kashi out, which would be highly disappointing.
  • I imagine Wright was / is a backup option if the Reeves deal falls through. Slightly different players though.
  • Will he be announced the same time as Alex Bruce?
    No. At the same time as Andy Delort. Just have to finish negotiations on twitter with his dad.

    Can't see that happening. Who would sign Kashi? Presumably on a decent contract with us. They play different roles/positions as well.

    I would be shocked if Kashi left. Has been injured for nearly 2 years, probably on a decent wedge. Played a large amount of pre-season games, starting in the last PSF (usually a good indicator as to who is going to be the 1st XI).
  • Yes, really.

    You maybe right and the decision is that we use X from the squad. If Robbo decides he can't find better than what he has or the budget does not stretch to better than he has, then that is the plan.

    You may disagree with his decision, but that's football.

    Touch and go whether Reeves will sign I would say reading that. I'm feeling less optimistic with every day that passes.

    So have either of you met this 'obviously' big headed Reeves character then?
    His head does look big in photos but mine is massive, it runs in the family.

    Behave yourself.

    Luzon signed for us in 48 hours, and was brought in from another country.

    Open your eyes man.
    But, Luzon, had been, or was still part of RD's network at the time, and I would imagine happy to go wherever RD asked him too on similar terms to what he had at Standard Liege, a contract a lot easier to negotiate than a new player due to their previous working history..
  • "Big Head, hes got a very Big Head...." to the tune of "Big Nose" as sung to Phil Thompson.
  • i think it took us about 3 months to sign mark kinsella and that turned out ok
  • Think reeves will 100% join but I will be too late for bristol

    We told him we couldn't afford him, then when he was about to sign for Gillingham we found the money at the last minute
