At 26 he is near enough the finished article in terms of development so won't gain value. He isn't a Prem standard player. How many top 6 sides would have him as a 1st teamer this season?. Happy to have him start for us but he's no talisman. I would hazard a guess he gets in at least 4 or 5 of them. There are players in them starting 11s far worse that what Reach is. And in the premier league for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then we really could do with cashing in this summer before he goes for nothing. He's contracted until 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine what he would be like if he was allowed to play more games in his preferred left wing position, but unfortunately he has had to fill in for players in other positions and on the opposite side of the pitch, because he is still better than them, even when he is miles away from being fully fit! For me, he is our most consistent star player and looks every inch a candidate for the captains armband if ever Tom Lees is missing. Keep up the great work Adam. never in a million years,our main players are Westwood,Lees,Hutch,Bannan ,FF and Fletch he is nowhere near these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Tibbs Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 9 hours ago, BRADDO said: If we receive an offer of circa 8 million for any of our players, we'd have to willingly accept. It would go a long way to solving our FFP debacle and enable SB to wheel and deal. In addition to the huge wages saved by releasing out of contract players, we should be good to go. If FFP wasn't an issue, he's one to keep. Young, willing worker, his injury record speaks for itself. Scores a few, creates a few and I suspect there's no baggage - no tantrums, does what the gaffer asks. Lightweight in the tackle - yes, but we were a different side at Leeds after he went off.

camffiti Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I'm currently watching a £billion worth of players on Sky, who are too scared to use their weaker foot Just thought I'd mention it, in a fred where apparently Reach is sh*t anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S26 Owl Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 If you watch him he doesn't look a great player and can be so frustrating and very soft. But his stats over the last 2 seasons are very good and he practically saved us last season when the whole squad was injured. As good a player as he is, in our financial situation and with him being somewhat replaceable and our most valuable asset he simply must be sold. He isn't worth the 12 mil brandished around, and if someone is willing to pay that then we need to drive him there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlinOldham Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Dont think its a case of Reach not playing well since the return of others, more a case that all our play suddenly doesnt go through him. With other attacking players all getting picked, hes not going to see as much of the ball as he did. Him and Iorfa still need to get into thier stride together too. His soft arse tackling aside, hes a cracking midfielder at this level and a solid all round pro. Rather have him with us than not, thats for sure. Defo needs tying down to a new deal asap, failing that we need to get every last penny we can for him. Silly prices at the moment mean id take no less than 10m for him. Wont be easy to replace him for less than 5/6m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
