Ben Reeves

He did a pre-season with TWWW.

 

Surprised to hear you would have done a bender in Spain AHLL ?

 

Bottom line - it is bad management for a club in our position to be signing unfit players. Man City can afford to, we can't.

Judging by Charlton social media, questions will be asked if Reeves doesn't appear on Saturday in a playing capacity.

 

Yet we've been doing it for years, and I hear a little voice saying "Here we go again". We'll see.

 

The only European Countries outside the EU are Iceland (beer very expensive), Turkey (not that brave) or Russia .... I can't speak Russian

 

When I go shopping now I make sure all my fruit and veg are BRITISH this restricts my diet but gives me a nice warm feeling inside

 

Bill Shankly used to claim that footballers got fit by playing football.

 

That was before sports scientists.

The Garden of England will keep you stocked up.

 

When Meire negotiated Ben Reeves' contract, do you think she stated that Charlton would start to pay him when he was fit enough to actually play football ?

 

A classic from Robinson this morning when asked about Ben Lucan-Reeves

" I am not saying he is injured and I am not saying he is fit"



So where is he then ?

 

Reeves goes down as a Robinson signing IMO, not a Network signing.

 

The new Schrödinger's cat

 

Is Schrödinger's cat dead then, if he needs a new one?

 

He probably got a new one, which totally contradicts Cafc transfer policy.

Poor reference

 

Ahh so we are still not sure if his old one is dead yet...?

 

The cat might just be injured, like Ben Reeves.

Which means it might not be?

 

Unlike Schrodinger's Cat, it is possible for Robinson's Reeves to be neither injured or fit.

Being out of shape because you haven't been training properly is not an injury.
But we signed Reeves SIX WEEKS ago - how long does it take a player to get fit if he is not injured?
Was he carrying an injury when we bought him that prevented him from training?
Or are we looking at a player here whose heart is not really in it because he still thinks he should be playing in the Championship.

I hope that is not the case.

 

Ben Reeves is still working his way back to match fitness.

“He has been running this week,” explained Robinson. “His scan came back fine. There is no scar tissue anymore. I’m not saying he’s injured – I’m not saying he is fit.

“He has got a little tiny strain when he came back through not having a condition [missing the summer pre-season fitness schedule as he signed just before the League One campaign started].”

 

Shankly also said "There is a holy trinity in football- the manager, the fans and the players. The directors are there to sign the cheques"

 

In other words, Reeves let himself go over the summer while looking for the best pay day.
