If Blackburn are paying his wages.....it's a risk worth taking as he would be a class act in this league :biggrin:

If Blackburn are paying his wages then it's no risk at all. But I'm not sure how much of that is one place/person reporting it and the rest believing it because they want it to be true.

We gifted Blackburn a reported 700k two and a half years ago. The least that they can do in return is pay Reid's wages until the end of the season!

Spending a few (beyond planned budget) bob now - even though we can ill afford it - makes more sense than risking (which is looking all too possible) relegation and the significant (negative) cash-flow implications that has. We cannot afford to NOT bolster up the squad at the moment. But, with crocks?

Totally agree but Lee seamed adamant last night that we wouldn't go over budget to avoid relegation.

Am i the only one who thinks the problem is any level of quality within the Midfield area?

We are crying out for someone of quality who can do something with the ball and thread through some passes. The problem we are having is that the defenders are lumping it forward to the strikers as there is no quality within the midfield. Gray struggles to beat a man or make a pass, Soares seems totally off the boil and his role as a right midfielder isint suited and the middle two are effort but lack any quality.

Whether Reid could bring this quality Im not aware. I remember him being an good premiership player but that was before all these injuries he has had.

Given any football from the midfield then i believe our strikers would be ok. We just rarely put any balls into the boxes, thread through some passes or generally have any build up play. Its just getting the ball and trying to work off the scraps Tudgay and Varney create through work rate or mistakes from the opposition defence.

Our midfield doesnt support the attack enough, not recently anyway.

Miller likes to get forward and I would personally play SMc in there too for a bit of energy. I'm not going to slag potter as I think hes nice on the ball and keeps play ticking over, but he needs someone to give it to who can act as an outlet and we dont have it at the moment. We need someone to scrap for it.

I'd be disapointed with this signing, hes hardly played for the last 2 years!!!

That's ok, we're only signing him on loan to occupy the subs bench...
