Kyel Reid

[Jim Chimmerney]

What's happened to him, has he been seen around training this week ? Presume he's available for the 1st club who make an offer but he seems to have completely slipped off the radar.

Foxy says he's unsure about his contract details but I would have thought we signed him on more than a 12 month deal ?

 

[Houso]

Apparently in training today according to someone over on BM.

 

[Pinchy]

I've seen him play. He's rubbish.

Charlton season ticket holder at work was very impressed with him last term. He said he'd be delighted with a straight swap for Lloyd Sam.

Not necessarily saying Reid is the answer but we're woefully short of pace in the squad...

Given that KB played the likes of Jordan Stewart ahead of him on the wings last season, I don't rate his chances. Obvious back-up for Wardy and Yeates for me but then again, I don't see him in training week in week out.

If he's the answer, we're asking the wrong question.
He might be ok at League One level but looked painfully short of ability higher up.
Our squad rebuilding has so far meant acquiring a steady midfielder from Swansea and a sponsorship deal for a Malteser with a questionable attitude.
More than anything we have no pace and very little ability (Morgan aside) - or numbers - at the back.

I think it was said that he didn't really settle in Sheffield, hence the loan back to a London team.
I wouldn't mind keeping him as he'd be decent back-up, but obviously if his head's not right then there's not much point.

He didn't settle and also had some personal problems.

He looked quality at times pre-season last year.

Really? You gathered that from how many games? From a player that had family problems back down south...

You are my oracle... Just one step behind the hapless "big mart"

 

[ListerBlade]

i only saw him v lincoln last pre-season but he looked good.

 

[bladesman1889]

He looked good against Chesterfield also, worth giving him a chance I feel.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Man of the match V Port Vale in league cup dropped next game.

 

[Ollessendro]

Came on and made Henderson's winner against Bristol last Novemeber. Thought his sheer determination (in the 5 mins he played) warranted him getting a start, but it never materialised.

The guy isn't bad. Little bit of a headless chicken, but very quick and hard working. He could definately do a job. His pace will threaten defenders. The real question is around his persoanl life and whether he can settle in Shef. The word on the grapevine is that he wants to be back in London (could just be a rumour). If he does stay then he could be a useful squad player. He can play out left (freeing up Yeates to play wide right and Ward up front) and would put pressure on others in terms of competition for places. He offers something different (or could anyhow) in a very static team.

 

[Grecian2000]

Haven't seen enough to judge one way or another. However, as Hoofy bases his assesment on wingers on what they can do helping our full back rather than how they get about the oppositions, I think he'll go the same way as Cotts and Little into the "didn't track back enough" bin.

 

[davidpinder]

He may just be training with us even if he is out of contract, we need him so we have enough for 5 a side anyway.

 

[Tizertrance]

From what i've seen of him I'd compare him to Ndlovu or Devlin but without the quality

 

[ListerBlade]

think most would like to see him given a proper go, shame he won't get one.

 

[Bergen Blade]

If he's not to be given a chance, we need to ship him out and sign someone else with pace, as we remain one of the slowest squads in the country. None of the additions so far has put that right, nor do we seem to get linked with anyone who are quick.

 

[Bladesway]

"From what i've seen of him I'd compare him to Ndlovu or Devlin but without the quality"

So in short, he is shit? No, I'll re-phrase. Really, really shit.
