Slugger Posted 11 July, 2016 Share Posted 11 July, 2016 Great signing it would seem. Good work from the club to make it a 5 year deal. Seems we have learned that 4 causes issues after two years. He also seems like a good character, regardless of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on the OS article. Its a little arrogant IMO. If Clasie does more than last season and JWP/Reed train on then its a good pool of players but I will take them being nearly as effective as the Morgan/Wanyama/Davis trio was, because it certainly wasn't last season.

Turkish Posted 11 July, 2016 Share Posted 11 July, 2016 How has a really exciting signing turned into another les Reed bashing thread? Shouldn't we be praising him for bring yet another fantastic signing into the club? Les once again proves himself to be master in the transfer market and all people want to do is pick holes in his interview. The man who after writing the coaching manual for England joined the club and has overseen our meteoric rise through the divisions, guided the ship through choppy waters 2 season ago to emerge stronger and is now planning for the next instalment of this fantastic story is still mocked and ridiculed by fractions of the fan base. For a man so vilified by fans as a clueless Buffon he seems to continually get an awful lot of things right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CylonKing Posted 11 July, 2016 Share Posted 11 July, 2016 Not just you St Garrett. Think he's doing a sterling job myself. Another promising, young player in an established international team. This time signed on a 5 year deal. Excellent news. Welcome Pierre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 11 July, 2016 Share Posted 11 July, 2016 I quite like Les Reed, think its just me. I like him too - he's played an enormous role in our rise. It's a risky statement to make though! At least it answers the question of whether we will replace Vic like-for-like though! Really looking forward to seeing this kid play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 11 July, 2016 Share Posted 11 July, 2016 There's a big difference between telling the truth and doing what's best for the club. If Les just told the media we're planning to sell in a couple of years and we are weaker than last season, he would struggle to attract promising youngsters from one of the world's top three clubs. He's straining credibility claiming we've got the best midfielders in the League but I'd rather our public statements were optimistic and talking up our players.

Saint_Tony Posted 11 July, 2016 Share Posted 11 July, 2016 Sounds promising. Les' comments, however absurd they are, inicate that"s our midfield sorted, so I assume Tadic will be staying. Can't see us bringing in more than 2 players now. Bit riski imo, but we shall see. In Les we trust. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
