QuoteHe was playing right full back for WBA and could score a neat OG when required! Wasn't impressed whenever I saw him. Centre-midfield is definitely his position.
It'd be interesting to see how he plays with Whelan now, given the leaps and bounds Whelan has come on over the course of the last qualifying series. When Trapattoni took over, it looked like Reid was going to be the box to box midfielder, with Whelan as the holding player. Without Reid, Whelan played further forward, and was encouraged to shoot from distance. Would Reid's return reverse the original roles, or would they each play a different role?

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Not trying to contradict you, but the WBA fans were apparently singing "sign him up" in the last game of the season, after only seeing him play at right-full.Originally Posted by OwlsFan
To be fair, Allardyce has probably just looked at his spell at West Brom and noticed he hasn't spent any time in midfield. Blackburn already have a good few right backs and Andrews has been the first choice to fill in when there's injuries.
They have obviously seen a lot more of him than I have. I only saw him a couple of times so I would bow to their opinion.
Allardyce knows he'll break down at any minute so is happy enough to let him go

Fair play to Steven Reid. The easy thing to do would be to retire, at least from international duty. Good on him for battling through injury after injury and making himself available when fit for Ireland.
Can't argue with that Colbert, you have to love his perseverance and I really hope that is the end of his injury trouble now for the rest of his career. After all he's been through it would be nice for him to have a couple of healthy season here and help lead us into the Euros.
Linked with Celtic in the morning papers: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/footbal...6908-22266587/
that would be a perfect move for him, he would dominate central midfield in scotland. would be a great signing for celtic.
As a Celtic fan Id be over the moon with Reid signing. From an Ireland point of view it would be great too because he would be getting regular football
Its really not that complicated!!!
Is the SPL that much more physical than the Championship?
Its really not that complicated!!!

i wouldnt read to much into this story though. says he met with lennon already? now unless hes got the job this seems a pointless exercise no??
I have a feeling Lennon will get the job at this stage
Its really not that complicated!!!
The English Telegraph is reporting that Reid is in talks with Di Matteo about a contract with West Brom.
I thought you were a Galway fan? I'm confused
