Reach seems like a decent bit of business for free.
He's someone who has always caught my eye for his long range goals, but admittedly, I have no idea how he is from general play. But if it's to cover/compete with Townsend at wing back, can't complain as he's someone who has played plenty of games at this level, knows where the goal is and clearly must be a step up on Peltier and sick note (Gibbs).
As for Pereira and Johnstone...
Pereira's statement is mind boggling and tbh he probably should've kept his mouth closed. Footballers never seem to be the best advised do they? In one breath he says he's committed and in the next he says "I want to leave, I want to seek new experiences"...
Maybe I'm the idiot here, but if he wants to leave, then clearly he isn't committed and the statement by the manager is true. Clearly he's took the hump when the manager was simply explaining why he wasn't playing. Says a lot about his character - toys out of the pram...
If he thinks the statement about him being made this life changing offer that will make him "financially free" will win over any working class blokes from West Brom, he's deluded. He already earns more in a week here than what many fans earn in a year, so why would we give a crap about him earning more? Poor bloke is only on £40k per week here so lets all beg the club to give him away for free so he can earn £80k per week untaxed in the middle east. GFY.
He's a talented player, but I'll be chuffed when he leaves as he's everything that's been wrong with the club last few years. For me, being talented only gets you so far. If you can't be arsed to even jog into defensive shape then you're only going to make it so far. At times I thought his effort last season was unacceptable.
If you're reading this Matheus, we couldn't care less about the offer YOU receive, we care about the offer the CLUB receives. The fans will happily wish you all the best if we receive an offer that's true to your worth. That is taking into account the goals you scored in the Premier League and the fact you are on a long term contract that YOU signed. £22m would be a bare minimum IMO, considering we paid £18m for Grady who had barely kicked a ball in the Premier League at the time. If it wasn't for covid, that bare minimum would be a lot more...
As for Johnstone, I was hoping we would sell as I think we're well stocked in the goalkeeping department and it could've given us some much needed funds to strengthen outfield. But of course if there's no decent bids incoming, hopefully he does sign a new deal rather than walk away on a free next season.
