    He’s French. It’ll be a sneer rather than a smile. Les rosbif’s.

    It’s been well documented that Reeves was playing with an injury for months. I blame the powers that be for not getting it sorted sooner

    Best for both parties he leaves and to get a fee is a bonus but did n’t we pay a fee for him?

    Personally would try get rid of both. Especially Patrick, can't afford to carry dead wood.

    Personally think it will be another departure Idle, with our Frenchman being my bet

    If we can negotiate well enough to get a fee for Poleon, just imagine how much we're going to get for Wyke if he goes. We'll be able to hijack Ronaldo's move to Italy!

    To be fair to Poleon he tries but he only has about one good game in 20. I thought he looked good when he came on as a sub in his first game for us and nearly scored a goal from his first chance, but he just hasn't been able to maintain any sort of form.

    He might actually do okay in League 2, i'd say there's a fair chance he scores 10-15 goals in league 2 this season.

    Hi Tawheed. Yes I can't disagree with much of that. The only thing I would add is that, in my opinion, Vince never stopped working and trying, even though his form was abysmal. Some games Wyke looked disinterested and going through the motions. Like you I am sure we can get better if we are prepared to pay, but both NKP and Vince could do a job for us even if not regular starters. We will have to wait and see what MC thinks I suppose

    Great and welcome points, Kev.
    Many Clubs will have had players that don't 'fit like a glove'. BUT - Why is it always the gloves fault ?
    One side draws up a contract, the other only signs it.

    Yes agree with that. I think his opinion before declining the coaches position would have been helpful but like you say I can't really see him putting the work in and developing the younger players whilst working with more experienced players.

    I would hope Graysons comments with regards things having to be in place infrastructures wise were taken on board, but to Edin & Stefans credit they have to walk before they can run (no my account has not been hacked) the training facility comment IMO was a get out clause for Simon, they are more that adequate but yes can be improved.

    Get our money back on Reeves and McCartan and we're laughing!

    Gonna be hard getting £400k for them two though!

    I think there was something there with McCartan and Reeves. Reeves especially put in some very good performances but injury held him back last season. With the right partner in midfield (Akpan seems to fit the bill) he could be very effective. Also saw more in McCartan compared to Poleon as well. At least there was some instinct and desire to get on the ball with McCartan.

    I think there is potential development to be made with Reeves and McCartan and if they find that then they will become strong L1 players. I never saw that in Poleon which is why hes found his level at L2.

    Best bit of transfer business in years and to get a fee for him is just mind boggling , well done City I hope you've learnt from your mistake of signing someone like him.
