I like Andy Reid, he is carrying too much weight but if he can get himself fit he is the kind of player that we need (someone who can carry the ball). I doubt Charlton will be looking to sell him and even if they were we would probably be looking at around 4 million which is more then we can afford if we want to add a striker too.

I fear that Koumas' excellent run of form will also price him out of a move so the options for a proven premiership midfielder look bleak - a player from overseas looks the more likely option.

Andy Reid may be carrying alot of weight but he's fitter than Nade without a doubt.

Andy Reid may be carrying alot of weight but he's fitter than Nade without a doubt.

What does that have to do with anything, Dean Windass may be fitter then Nade but i hardly think we should sign him on that basis.

In case i have been misunderstood, i would like to sign Andy Reid; i just think that he could work on his fitness in order to make him an even better player.

His situation is similar to that of Frank Lampard a few years ago. He carried too much weight at west ham but when he moved to chelsea he worked on his fitness and the results are clear to see.

That said, i doubt Reid will sign for reasons that have been discussed earlier in the thread.

well you said he's carrying too much weight but IF he gets himself fit he will be the kind of player we need. What i was basically saying is that even though he carries a bit of weight it doesn't mean he isn't fit, i was using Nade as an example.

I do agree with you that if he lost that extra weight his all round game would improve.
