Surprised and disappointed.
As far as I'm concerned he was the only midfielder we had left. So a totally new midfield, as the link between defence and attack, means a very different team.
We need FL quality, but when we get that standard of player, they don't want to stay. Better not sugarcoat this - Ellis and Reeves, yikes.

It is obviously disappointing but not the end of the world. Unfortunately it comes with the territory when you are trying to get promoted back to the football league. Not achieving that goal is likely going to lead to some players leaving. It’s the same when teams get relegated. You can’t begrudge players wanting to play at the highest level possible. It shows they are in the game for the right reasons.Originally Posted by the_anticlough
With Ellis and Reeves both were players Neal Ardley brought to the club and with Reeves it states a clause has been triggered so it seems like he may have only stayed had we been promoted?
He was a good player but we had too similar types of players in central midfield last season. Neal Bishop said the same. It gives the opportunity for Ian Burchnall to get midfielders to suit his style.
Recruitment in central midfield will be key now as to how we do next season. I’m optimistic that we will get suitable players of quality. Look what Reeves says about the style of play, it being fun and allowing players to play with freedom and express themselves. Any potential signings should take note of his comments. If you create the right kind of environment for players to flourish then that’s part of the recruitment process sorted by default.

Yeah, no kidding. We can certainly agree on that.
