I feel for Reece James, more surgery and another lengthy lay off but surely the time has come to move him on?
He is not up to the standard we require in midfield, he hasn't the legs anymore to perform as a wingback and will block Josh's progress if played as a right sided centre back.
I wish him a speedy recovery.

I agree with everything you have said G8.

What is would say is that Reece needs to retire from international duty.

Very sad indeed that Reece's injury woes continue and that he needs surgery.

Even sadder of course if this means Reece cannot continue to play a significant role as a RW at CFC - he would surely be v low in pecking order as a midfielder if only especially another is brought in whether eg Scott or Camara - but perhaps that is now the case. Could be that you are right though Bill and that if there is still a chance that he could he should retire from international dutyand his game time be carefully managed - but G8 point taken about quite where he would play and/or be a starter.

Can only also wish Reece well of course. His skill and game vision when at his best has been wonderful to watch.
