In more news that everybody knew already,Andy Reid has agreed terms on a 2 year deal with Forest, subject to a medical, and this fact has brought all the japesters on twitter.
Jokes such as he'll only pass the medical if he puts the KFC bucket down, or christ I hope they don't make it too excessive, have seen him become a top trending topic, along with jokes such as Hooters have now shelved their all you can eat wings deal.
I for one applaud the deal. I have seen some people on facebook(i know,i know, never the bastion of intelligence) suggesting this is a terrible deal...Well how is a free transfer for a player playing in the Premier League a bad deal for a Championship club? I think some people are genuinely only expecting "stellar" signings.
Lets also not forget we had a deal to bring him in on loan last season set up till Mr Davies quashed the move, not wanting the Irish left sided midfielder back at Forest. Well no sooner has he gone, then we bring him back into the fold.
This is a player who has has had a number of big money moves,taking him from here with Michael Dawson to Spurs, from there to Charlton,where he captained the Addicks,to Sunderland and on to Blackpool with a loan at Sheffield United, where nobody in the world was going to succeed.
He has played 286 league games in his career, scoring 35 goals,with 48 assists.
I was talking a couple of weeks ago to my local butcher (a Leeds fan) about Forest's and umbrella man's prospects and the best thing for both - which we both agreed - was to re-sign Andy Reid.
ReplyDeleteNow it's happened and Forest have got back the best left winger the club's ever had since Robbo and for nowt!
Can't be bad.
