Reece James

[Kev56]

Alright. Now push on and become the clubs greatest defender in history also. The bar is high Reece!

Very, very high.

Reeces head went after that clash with Antonio. That header was a terrible call.

Yeah noticed that too.. became slow in possession.

 

[icecoolguy22]

Wasn't his best game, in his defence I think he's been over worked. He was the only contributor in our attack until Chiwell showed up, still has to chase up on many occasions because our midfield offers little protection.

Definitely a legendary player in the making, give him 10 years deal.

 

[Ballack & Blu]

Very, very high.

The Bar is out of sight atm, JT, Coley, Brana, Dave, Ricky, Cahill, Desailly have made sure, Plus Silva is a God as well

 

[dansubrosa]

I genuinely believe Reece James can become one of our greatest players ever. He’s already so good and he’s nowhere near his peak yet. Insane.

 

[strider6004]

He is certainly one of our most exciting players yet he also needs to be careful on those physical defensive challenges some refs tend to get upset about them.

Set to sign a new 6 year contract that will make him the highest paid defender in our history:

New contract just confirmed by the club.

Fantastic news. Well done Reece. 

 

[JM7]

Official now. 

Thank goodness. He’s our most important player. Untouchable. 

 

[dkw]

Superb news, now stop playing him at centre back.

 

[azpi28]

great news 

was getting annoyed by the Madrid fans thinking he would join them 

 

[azpi28]

is it 2028 or 2028 with option to extend to 2029?

 

[drjonesy1994]

is it 2028 or 2028 with option to extend to 2029?

Think it's 5 with an option for 6. So 2027 and then 2028. 

 

[azpi28]

Think it's 5 with an option for 6. So 2027 and then 2028. 

ah hoped it was 6 with option to 7 

either way still happy 

 

[DannyVblue]

Great news, what a player! Will go on the be one of our greatest players. 

I'm other news... 

Skysports breaking news: Liverpool striker Leanne Kiernan signs new contract 

 

[El regreso]

Pretty much our next captain best player to come out of our academy for me. I hope once he’s got past two years we extend again if his performance is still of the highest quality!!

£250k/w.. ok. Not sure it was smart to increase his salary 4x. That is more than Van Dijk, Cancelo, TAA, Diaz earn. The way Boehly is throwing around the money I hope there is a long term plan to increase revenue. Koulibaly reportedly is on £295k (£162k net), Sterling on £325k, Fofana on £200k, Cucurella on £175k, Aubameyang on £160k (net/gross?). Mount will most likely earn around £200k+. You then have Jorginho & Kante due a renewal also.

Fantastic - a mighty responsibility for his mighty shoulders but somehow I think he'll manage.

Yes must admit I've been very surprised at the high level of the wages being handed out ... probably "BAU" level for American sports, which is no doubt the model Boehly is used to as an investor in two US franchises ... I hope they know what they are doing !!!
