redsince66 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 One of my closest mates has been to Plymouth recently with the family and apparently overheard a man saying that Reid could be joining City in a B&Q. Don't know if there's any truth in it though, he is a bit of a joker. I think this would be a great signing as a bit of pace and strength could help Kodjia up top. I say this a lot but what we need is goals to get out of relegation - and a lot of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yoda Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 The problem is that Wickes is next door to AG...they won't be happy with a B&Q employee encroaching on their patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a way of maximising off-field income? I have to say that I hope not. This isn't the kneejerk negativity that seems to attach to every potential new signing but comes from knowing several Plymouth fans. Reid is a donkey, misses vast amounts of decent chances and only gets the goals that he does because of the good midfield sat behind him that keeps supplying him with chance after chance. League 2 is absolutely his level, he would be ridiculously out of place in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinnionForEngland Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I used to play upfront with Reuben, one thing he doesn't have anymore is pace, he was linked with the gas recently and that is far more realistic now to be honest.

ollywhyte Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 He's shite, rarely starts for Argyle. Ryan Brunt ex Gas starts over him, would be seriously depressed if we ended up with Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say he was their star player but they knew that he was good and would improve. That's not the view they have of Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 If we're looking at Plymouth players, it should be Nelson, their CB, Purrington, their LB and Tyler Harvey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 From the bits and pieces I've seen of him, he doesn't look like he's got the ability for The Championship. I'd be interested to see how he does at Leage One....that might be the extent of his ability. Most of his goals have come at League Two level. At 27, I can't see him being a realistic option for us. what is B&Q (in this context)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 27, I can't see him being a realistic option for us. what is B&Q (in this context)? We have a sponsorship deal with B&Q whereby all new players, as part of their signing on fee, are allowed to select DIY goods up to the value of £500 from the B&Q store as a house-warming gift from the club. The club gets a decent discount, 20% IIRC. In order to help them with purchase choice (Luke Ayling for example has a very good eye for a decent step ladder), transporting the goods (Marlon Pack has a pick-up which comes in very useful), and to generally make them feel at home in their new club and new city most of the existing squad will turn out on the day.

That would be a quirky press conference - new signing unveiled in DIY store...can just see it, as he puts pen to paper, SL cavorts in the background with a City scarf held aloft over his head while Mable from Hengrove enquires as to the whereabouts of long life 9v batteries.....

Lorenzos Only Goal Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Sounds unlikely we would buy a player @ 28 from a lower league team assuming he's coming in the summer as a loan would seem a waste and very unlikely. I think those who are worried should relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 No regards to Nelson I'm quite excited/intrigued to see who is partnering Flint next season. Baker is great but I'm not sure if he'll take a hefty wage cut, Nelson from Plymouth would be excellent. Egan from Gillingham would be a great one too. Alfie Mawson from Barnsley would be my preference though, would compliment Flint's no nonsense defending perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST Valliers in Filton, he's a Bristol lad and is just as useful at cricket as he is football but football's where the money's at and he's done ok I think!
