Assombalonga and Reeves

[devonexile]

I have heard from an absolutely impeccable source that the club have offered Britt and Ben terms for next season. Both are said to be thinking it over. Incidently, both players have retained their lodgings in the town, at least for the time being.

Britt is still under contract at Watford isn't he?

 

[dannypav]

Neither of them are our players , so don't see how we can offer them terms ??

 

[farawayshrimper]

Then my did Reeves say on twitter he was leaving town and packing up?

Yes

We can't but could have been in contact with the parent clubs.

Banter?

 

[Pubey]

On twitter it sounds like both are moving out.

Unless Blues have enquired to the respective teams about their availability if they were to offer something. I doubt this somehow. Going by the thread title I'd be surprised if held onto Britt( seemed disinterested from new year onwards) but Reeves was someone I said I'd like to keep if possible.

I doubt Reeves will be here. He's heavily favoured by Southampton

Yes always a long shot I suppose.

The gentleman who provided me with this info is in an excellent position to know if they have left town or not. He sees both players everyday and they dine with him regularly. By the way, I said nothing about a formal offer. The offers may have been made directly or through the players agents. I don't know which because I didn't ask, but I do know that the offer of terms has been made and that this came orriginally from conversations between my "impeccable source" and the players themseves. I agree, however, that Assombalonga's piece in the Echo the other day would suggest he is off.

Why? it's the way most of these deals get done.

Not when 'impeccable sources' reveal it to someone who then posts on an open forum..................................

Crikey - people get shot down for not saying something and then shot down for saying something! :hilarious:

No. I meant I doubted at the time Blues would have offered anything . But you seemes to shed a different light on it and I'm not disputing that. Additionally contacting teams to know about availability of under contract players is the correct process to go through hence why I said it.

Meant it as a reply to devonexile

Is it too early to enquire about season long loans for next season?

 

[C V Shrimper]

I would imagine if Watford get promoted to the Premier League, Britt wouldn't get near their first team,so always a chance he may return for another season loan.

 

[EastStandBlue]

I don't think a 3-6 month loan of Britt is completely out of the question... It's fair to say he fizzled out towards the end of his spell here, so Watford might well believe (or could be convinced) that the best thing for his development would be another chance to capture his start-of-season form before perhaps moving onto a League One club for the second half of the season.

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Reeves would be a better shout IMO. Apart from "that goal", he didn't really set the world alight did he? A full season or even half a season would be beneficial to us, him and them.

Edit: Also IMO, Reeves is a class act and would suit a higher level of football than league 2, but it's worth a go.

As a matter of interest Assombalonga and Reeves is a Congolese ventriloquist act which won The Democratic Republic of Congo's Got Talent. They are similar in fashion to Ray Alan and Lord Charles only a bit more African.
