Reece Brown

First of all. How long a contract did Reece Brown sign? Has he played a game for us yet?

I think it's a bit harsh on Niasse, signing and not getting a chance before he got injured. Unless he's completely crocked, ought he not get a 6 month contract at least? If not, what was the point in signing him in the first place?

I can't see the point in keeping Keogh on. He's well past his best, which in my opinion wasn't very good to start with. He's too slow and is a bleedin' liability. Hopefully this windfall he's been awarded today will make up his mind to retire.

If the club are taking up the option of the contract extension for Mbenza, it must be with a massive pay cut and must mean the rumours that he walked out on the club a few weeks ago are bollocks!

As much as I love Bacuna, I think for his own good he ought to leave and find a club more suited to his laid back style of play, if we're not having a coach who can get the best out of him.

Anybody else got any opinions on all these?
