Jet setting around Europe one of the unsung heroes of the club Reeves certainly cannot be accused of not putting in the extra mile in the quest to unearth the next Jordi Gomez,Angel Rangel.and Ferrie Bodde.
In one of the busiest times of year for the club in terms of personnel changes the former Norwich City player is working overtime in order to match the unrivalled ambition of Swans manager Roberto Martinez who is known for his dislike of the January transfer window; However with talent oozing from every pore in the Swansea squad even Reeves admits he has a difficult task in finding the right players as he told the SWEP, he said “Rob doesn't like to bring in too many players in January, so this is the really busy time”
“It gets harder to find players to bring in because the quality of the squad is good and, as you improve, the depth of talent out there decreases.”
Methodical by nature Reeves is also leaving no stone unturned even going so far as watching three games a day as he now reveals , "You can watch three games in a day in a lot of countries because they kick off at 1pm, 5pm and 7pm.Sometimes I will go for the weekend, other times it's there and back in a day."
True to the clubs ethos of fiscal prudence even his wife Cilla's staff discount with Easyjet has driven the costs of his scouting exploits down quips Reeves, “ I go on the website and because I'm married to a member of staff I get some great deals.It's great when you consider all the countries I go to — it's keeping costs down for the club."
