Heard on TalkSport this morning that Everton are to make a bid for Reid. I think that could be a great move for him.
Kilbane in the centre and Reid on the left would help the international careers of both players.

Yeah, but the source is none other than the Sun. I'd like to see him go to Everton for the reasons you give but Moyes wouldn't play him as much as other managers IMO.

Would be an awful move for him, he'll miss out on Europe, he should join the Yidos or go abroad

They're slight improvement in form shouldn't be mistaken for any genuine quality.

Did they confirm it or was it speculation?

People said that would happen to Duff when he went to Chelsea.

i get the feeling moyes is pragmatic when it comes to these things as he's shown a reluctance to play osman in certain games due to..? tactics i'd imagine.

This saga has dragged on for far too long! It seems like every transfer window for the past 18 months it nearly happens, then it slams shut and we have to wait until the next one!

I reckon we might still be talking about this when Notts Forest are playing non-league football and he's 31!

He'll end up another Alan Quinn or Kavanagh if he's not careful!

With Spurs putting in a bid for Routledge does it mean they've given up on Andy Reid. Its not looking good for the boy, he'd want his agent to get his finger out and get him out of Forest quick smart.

**dr_peepee** · 20/01/2005, 9:49 PM

He signed a new deal with Forrest at the start of last season ('03/04). That was the big mistake. His market value won't dip until his contract runs into it's last year, so Forrest know they have enough cards to play poker with.

I've said it before. There's no loyalty in football. Every player should think long and hard about what's in it for themselves first and the club second.

Please let it be Valencia. Reid isn't the paciest and in the Spanish league he could learn a lot about positional play, which would be a great asset to go with his skills. Who needs pace if you are always standing in the right place?

well i just wanna say once and for all why does the fact that he looks chubby matter one bit as long as he is pacey and fit which he is?! he's of a similar belly size to yakubu at portsmouth!

also reid scored 13 for forest last season and a further 12 assists so the moments of magic appear to be rather regular. he's also forests most consistant player. excellent practically every week

Where have you dragged this inconsistency thing from? He's one of, if not the most consistent player in the first division.

Agreed, but needs to be seen doing it on a big stage whether it is Premiership or La Liga.

**brine3** · 23/01/2005, 12:34 AM

Jesus, not Celtic. MON will turn him into a wing back. Andy Petta.

TOTTENHAM have upped their bid for Nottingham Forest’s Republic of Ireland star Andy Reid to a £4million package.

But they face competition from Southampton to sign him before the transfer window closes on Monday.

The Londoners have been trailing the midfielder for a year but struggling Forest resisted all offers.

Now Spurs have come up with a deal based on appearances and success.

Forest want Reid, 22, for their Championship relegation fight but the player is desperate to move to the Premiership.

He was given a verbal assurance last August that he could go if a bigger club came in.

**tricky_colour** · 26/01/2005, 2:24 AM

I am not sure if my last post, from the Sun, is new news or just
confirmation/repetition of older news but Reid needs a move
and Forest need the money to make changes because clearly
the current squad has not been doing the buisness regarding staying
in the championship.

With the transfer window closing on Monday I expect there is a bit of brinkmanship going on.

Everton's results improved when they sold Rooney I hope the same
thing happens at Forest. (otherwise God help em
