Spike Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 8 minutes ago, P'head Red said: I wouldn't say no to an eventual team like this. I would, Weimann is wasted on the right and Reid is not a solo striker, when he did well for us he did it as a part of a two, when he was on his own he was highly ineffective.

ralphindevon Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Loved Bobby when he made his debut Loved him when I saw him play for Plymouth Loved him when he was our top scorer Loved him when I saw him boss the midfield against Man Utd last season in the Prem Would love him back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fontaineofallknowledge Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Maybe he’s a better player than I remember but this is pretty uninspiring/boring. Really want a fresh strike force with two new strikers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 One season wonder? 19 appearances and 5 goals, in the Premier League, in a Neil Warnock team that were odds on to be relegated. I don't know who Cardiff have bought in this summer or if Reid is likely to have been pushed down the pecking order as a result, but you can guarantee that they won't let him go on the cheap. If they owe us for the transfer in the first place, then there's a chance that something could happen, but they're not stupid, especially after the Tomlin transfer..... Personally though, I'd have him back in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne allisons tongues Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 I thought we played our best football when Fammy was injured and we had Reid/Pato forward line. when Fammy came back end of January our form dipped. It looked like Reid couldn’t play as freely as when Fammy was injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 I'm not entirely convinced, however I'd prefer him to a lot of the other names being touted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Show Me The Money! Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Sorry I'm in the minority here. It's a definite no from me. Reasons 1. Think his goal scoring season for us was a one off. 2. I don't think he is anywhere near as talented as Nkeitah. 3. He isn't a number 9. More a false 9 or 10 4. Weimann is a better player in the same role if given the chance 5. He jumped at the chance to join Cardiff 6. Basically we should be looking for better and a proper out and out striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on how much more he's on, but he wouldn't have been on a great amount due to being a fringe midfield player the season before. We also seemed to have moved on a level with regards to wages, so even with some of the names mentioned between Reid leaving and now, paying him what he is currently on, it would be a hell of a lot less than a Vydra, Assombalonga, Gayle etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must’ve been relegation clauses in there though. Not sure how they generally work but if it’s a 40/50% reduction then he’s in range I’d imagine.
