    I don't have the source but have seen this on a few sites

    Spurs and Republic of Ireland midfielder will jet in to Glasgow today to talk to Gordon Strachan over a proposed move to giants, ******.

    Martin Jol, who signed the former Nottingham Forest player only in January of last season, has indicated the wingers weight problems have not stopped since his £4m move, with some erratic displays alongside a poor finishing record, all have forced the Dutchmans hand to try and offload him.

    Gordon Strachan has long been a fan of the Dublin born player, who was a childhood ****** fan, and should he be ready to stump up the £1.75m asking price, Spurs would be ready to sit round the table.

    Good move for the Bhoys, he`d do well up there but still not brilliant for Reid`s career.

    I don't reckon there's any truth in it. Fatty will be given a bit more time to impress before being offloaded. He's been playing well in the peace cup.

    If you read ****** forums you'd know that these type of things get posted every day of the week. Certainly not true. Maybe if he had a weight problem it might get a bit more benefit. I only have to read the first line now to know which one is fake as I'm that used to them by now.

    doubt his value has gone down 2.25 million in less than a year....I'd say Robbie Keane is more likely for the Tic.

    The Keane rumour is interesting, hopefully he'll sign for us on a free, but it's a long way off yet

    Andy Reid has been involved in all Spurs games in Asia this week & has played very well according to Spurs' website.

    Poor finishing record? Well fair enough - he only scored one goal, a corker against Villa but he hit the post from distance a few times in his early games. I'm sure Jol will have noted that Reid is also a useful central option. I also think Reid has played in every Spurs Premiership game since he joined (is this right?). I doubt there's anything in this rumour, especially at less than half the price he cost them.

    Reports are that Nakamura has signed. That's a pretty good signing IMO

    Reality check lads. He wasn't good enough to get a Premiership club so he heads off to ******.
    Andy Reid is a quality, international midfielder with a future. He'll play for ****** when he hits 34 and wants something to tell the kids about.
    I'm waiting for the Eirebhoy reaction now . . . .

    Jealousy is a terrible thing!
    P Telfer has not signed yet, but if he does he will have a hell of a lot to tell his kids- playing for one of the best supportered clubs in the world against some of the best players in the world in the Champions League!
    Blatantly obvious you have a blind hatred of the Bhoys??

    this must be the worst rumour of the summer so far... firstly andy did well for spurs last season one of there best attacking options .... he was bought for 4 mill why sell for so little and why is his weight such an issue to so many people .. he is a very fit lad who is just built that way and if you watch any spurs or ireland game he is up and down the pitch for 90 minutes ...

    Unless he's substituted in an effort to rectify an earlier failed substitution!

    I'm in two minds over the weight thing. Some players are just built that way, such as Maradona and Romario, both with big barrel chests on small bodies. Reid is well built, he doesn't seem to be particularly slow. Richard Dunne definitely had a fitness problem but now, having made an excellent comeback, is still a big stocky chap and he always will be. People can go overboard on Reid's weight, I think.

    Dunne's got a huge frame, with incredibly wide shoulders. But he's hardly got a pick on him these days. His cheeks are as hollow as anything.

    Ronan O'Gara said after sharing a Cardiff hotel with MUFC around the time of the FA Cup Final (the Lions were playing at Cardiff 2 days later) that he couldn't believe how lean footballers were. Ryan Giggs was "skin & bone" he said.

    Reid on the other hand was always a skinny little kid which I think at one stage actually threatened his chances of making it in the game. Whether his subsequent upsizing is due to weight work or too many pies is subject to speculation. Personally, I can't imagine anyone at a Premiership club with all the emphasis placed on diet & modern fitness methods etc can be carrying any excess weight. If Spurs wanted him to lose weight he could do it in a materer of weeks. He's been there 6 months now.

    I actually think both McGeady & Flood could do with beefing up a bit too.

    Big time, McGeady got muscled off the ball a good few times against Leicster City and last night v Sporting.

    Flood could do with eating what Dunne is leaving behind in the City canteen

    I heard that Man City are trying to get Flood to gain weight, but he's just not putting on any muscle. Could just be his age, when he stops growing he'll find it easier to gain weight

    When he hits 30 he'll find it easier to put on the pounds. I did!
