At a wild guess, the contract length and salary probably reflects that Charlton are going to go all out to push for promotion this season and the contract will get revisited next season whichever division we are in with a year still to run to give both sides some breathing space for whatever course of action is appropriate.DA9 said:
Do you have proof we offered more than 2 years?killerandflash said:At last!
Reeves clearly wouldn't commit to anything longer, as he wants to see what division we're in next summer, which is probably fair enough
Perhaps, as KR knows his strengths, weaknesses, and took into consideration his injury record we only offered 2 years?
BR, his agent, KR, KM, RD & Murray
The rest is speculation and guess work

Mick McCarthy said as much.golfaddick said:Brilliant signing............we know have all these attacking midfielders & no-one to put the ball into the fecking net - expect to see the ball going into the box & coming back out again as we will have no feckers in there - they can't all score worldies from 30 yards, sometimes a tap in from 5 yards will do the trick. I bet Killer is glad he's not 40 years younger & playing for KR - wouldn't have got a kick.

More likely the other way round, as next summer he'll be able to review the situation - did we get promoted etc - and negotiate his new contract in a position of strength, which is what players with 1 year left have.Redhenry said:
Most likely is the player wanted 3 and we only offered 2 years, maybe that's why it's taken so long. An agent would always advise a player to take a longer contract.DA9 said:

If Holmes had signed a 4 year deal last summer, he wouldn't have got the new (and better) contract this summer0 -
Reeves has seen things you people will never believe..

I have to admit I don't really know a lot about Reeves but all the talk seems to be good about him. I'm not bothering to look at a YouTube video as I've been burned by those before but I'm looking forward to seeing him play. Regarding his injury record, it's not great but considering we'll likely be seeing a certain amount of rotation between him and Clarke anyway it'll hopefully reduce the amount he gets injured, and we'll have cover even if he does. I am not unpleased.
Need another striker now0 -
Which is why we scored 2 headers against his side, in the box, 2 more goals along the deck, in the box, and 2 goals from just outside the box, both within 25 yards...ShootersHillGuru said:

Some cracking goals and assists in there... not that you can pay much credence to youtube vids but the lad can clearly play a bit.2 -

A team that wants to be sucessful must have characters that are prepared to stand up and be counted. Not fold up and hide. For the first time in a while now I get the feeling that we have enough of those players to make a difference.4

Watching that YouTube compilation, for a player who is left footed, he scored some belters with his right...0

Weeks behind the others in pre season so don't rush him in too quickly, otherwise he could be out for weeks on end.1

Excited for this season.3

Thanks for this @MKDinpeace - it's good to see you can still post on here despite @Leuth 's savage attack on you over xmas time, when he was feeling crankyMKDinpeace said:
Don't know why any of them are slagging him off. He's not a perfect player by any means, but he's definitely one of the better players in this league.SheedyCAFC said:Anyone know what Reeves is like? I've only seen MK fans slag him off today
He was part of anything decent we've achieved in recent years - got 3 assists against Man Utd in the League Cup, usually gets the most assists for us each season and scores his fair shares of goals. I'd say after Dele Alli, Grigg and Afobe, Reeves was our 4th best player in our promotion season.
Last season, our best all round player, second top scorer and most assists.
Got to be up there with Holmes as one of the two best strikers of the ball from outside the box in the league.
Positives:
- Brilliant around the edge of the box working alongside team mates
- Excellent at shooting and getting it on target from outside the box
- Decent eye for a pass
- Was one of our penalty takers
Negatives:
- Very injury prone, almost Wilshere/Sturridge levels (guaranteed to miss at least a few weeks/months out each season)
- Small frame, can get bullied off the ball easily by defenders
Just to illustrate how injury prone he is:
16/17: Missed 10 games
15/16: Missed 24 games
14/15: Missed 15 games
13/14: Missed 9 games
I'd be particularly concerned as he hasn't had a pre-season so won't be up to speed compared to previous seasons fitness wise. Although if he stays fit, and gets a run of games, he will be one of your standout players.
Overall:
Any MK supporter saying we won't miss him is wrong. I would have liked him to sign a new contract with us, he is one of the best #10s in the league, no doubt. On paper, you have a very decent starting 11 and I'd expect you to be in the top 6 for most of the season.
However, luckily for us we have also recruited well, plenty of quality, all but two of our first 11 have won promotion from L1 at least once in recent seasons, and the rest were playing in the Championship. Also brought in loan signings with a combined value of over £10m (Tshibola, Ariyibi, Ebanks-Landell, Seager).
Reeves will serve you well - he will score you a few screamers, pick out some ingenious passes and win you games. He's good enough for the Championship, just wrap him up in cotton wool whenever you can.4 -

History suggests that once you voice an opinion about getting behind the team it is met with a barrage of anti regime posts even to a point I was once called a "scab".Callumcafc said:

I think you're right to get behind the team. I won't be attending too many but I will be supporting the team when I do go, and I will forget who both our owner and CEO are when I do so.WhenIwasLittleBoy said:

I also think they deserve credit this summer (so far) for both hanging on to our best players and bringing in some impressive signings. Still made a couple of mistakes but this must be their best to date and the positives have outweighed the negatives.
That does not change what they have done in the past, nor does it change the fact that RD doesn't appear to give a stuff about us.
Credit where its due this summer, but it doesn't mean anybody should want them here as neither of them are good for Charlton Athletic.5 -

he did sign in the end then, I wasn't sure if it was going to happen as I heard about it months ago"0

From that compilation, looks a naturally gifted and instinctive player unlike some of the manbots you see frequenting the game these days.
Quite excited to see him playing for us.1 -
He's not even bottom 6 quality.covered end junior said:
I wouldn't expect them to be as good as Kashi but we need better than Crofts imo. If Kashi gets a bad injury Crofts will be a regular and he's not top 6 quality.East_Stand_Loopy said:
To be fair, how the Hell would we get a replacement for Kashi, at anywhere near the same quality?covered end junior said:Very good signing, we certainly have the best attacking options in the league now. My only real concern is not having a quality backup to Kashi if he gets injured again.

Reeves might be fragile, I get that. He was a free transfer though which mitigates the risk.2

Having Billy Clarke too helps. I don't think he's promotion material but he's a very good squad player to have.seth plum said:Reeves might be fragile, I get that. He was a free transfer though which mitigates the risk.

And he looked quite good against Ipswich, pressed well and showed great composure to set up two goals. I still think he'll be a Marmite player, but he showed he has some quality. That said, on paper he was probably the weak link in the XI last Saturday so getting an upgrade in that position is a huge plus.cafcfan1990 said:
