    I'm not sure Bronco. I know the club are keen on him so they are letting him figure it out for himself.

    Personally would like to see us be a little pushy/harsher really.

    Player power in league 2, who would have thought it from a kid who has barely played a dozen league games in his career

    Hoping GB has spoken to JR/SR yesterday/today.

    Really need some quality in the midfield. Hope Longridge starts ahead of Henley on the weekend too.

    Why are we still messing around on Colville? I just don’t get it as he’s not great. Yes, he could be but then we were told that about Scott Brown(?)
    If he’s been offered a contract and not signed it, just leave him to go. And when he signs for another club, we then make a claim for compensation, bearing in mind we had offered him a deal.

    But we can’t be held over a barrel by an average (at best) player, when we are crying out for a left winger and a Gary Jones-esque midfielder.

    Are we being held over a barrel?

    He got himself a new agent so didn’t sign until he had the right advice. Now we haven’t gone back in with a higher bid as far as I know so are we just both waiting about until he signs and we are not a player short?

    I doubt we can get anyone else for cover on the same wage

    And that wage is???

    You really haven’t a clue as to how much/little he has been offered, so how do you know what’s out there for the same amount?

    The fact remains, he was offered a contract in May. It’s now August (3mths later) and he still hasn’t signed but is happy to stay with us on a short term deal whilst he considers it.

    I can read a 300 page novel in a week, yet he and his new agent can’t read through a contract in a month or more?

    Every little penny helps. Let's not waste money on him like we have on Anderson and devine.

    And yet you have no clue we are being held over a barrell.

    I don’t need to be sat in the room when negotiations take place to know he won’t be one of the big earners in the squad. It’s common sense

    why are people so interested in the Colville situation? honestly, the amount of questioning and panic setting in over his contract....does it matter? he's probably on about 34 pence a week, and isn't much good anyway. just chill out.

    Who mentioned ‘one of the big earners’? Give me your guess as to what you think he’s earning.

    My point is, we’ve made him an offer. He hasn’t signed it 3mths later but has clearly asked if he can stay around to train and now we’re accommodating him in our squads, which must indicate he’s signed a short-term deal.

    So his agent has been able to read and agree to that short-deal deal but not the main contract still on the table (that, in my opinion is holding to the club over a barrel)

    Look, we disagree (again) - let’s move on.

    Between 800 and one and half grand a week I’d say. As a back up squad player. And his age.

    Rough guess. But hardly breaking bank. If he stays great if he goes hey ho. Bowyer obviously rates him. That’s enough for me

    I'd guess that he isn't even on that, but could be wrong.

    I wouldn't be the only one.

    I just don't think it matters really either way wether he signs for us or not. every day someone is going "anyone heard whats happening with Colville?" like its as important as James Vaughan or The Don signing.
    when he was named on the bench despite there been no announcement on his deal people were having kittens.

    it's only Luca Colville. relax.

    More of a concern really is Reevesy. His struggle must be disheartening.I truly hope that he is close to playing and that the young man can justify the faith the Club has had in standing by him. It would be great to see him conquer his demons and deliver his welcome best for us. Would be timely also. Fingers crossed .

    I do too, as much I want to sympathise it's very hard to when the carrot was constantly dangled about his return. Especially when we know very little about what his problem actually is, all very secretive but I'm sure there's good reason for it.
