According to Sky Sports us and Burnley are after him after being released from West Brom

 

[James Bond's body double]

Oh well, 2nd again.

 

[father_and_son]

Has some flexibility, but can't see us being front runners for him. Too much interest and we won't play in a bidding war over his personal terms.

 

[Greavsey]

Would be a great signing. Good experience, would provide leadership and still a decent player.

 

[Magic City]

Interesting considering Calderon and Bruno have both been offered contracts. Just because Burnley have gone up doesn't mean he'll certainly go there, as their right-back Trippier is a fantastic player. If he stays at Burnley, maybe Reid would rather be first choice here than sit on the bench up there. Still, even if he doesn't join etc, I'm still encouraged that this is the type of player that we are being linked with.

 

[stss30]

Bit strange that us and Burnley are supposedly after him. We've offered both our right backs new deals, and one of Burnley's best players is their right back, Trippier. Obviously Bruno and Calderon might not sign but I'd imagine Reid might command higher wages than both of them. Can't see this one happening.

More than just Burnley in the frame according to SSN...


Newly-promoted Burnley, Queens Park Rangers, Brighton and Leeds are among the clubs looking at the 33-year-old, who can play in defence or midfield.

After this season, really wouldn't be surprised if Leeds were the next club to splash stupid levels of cash to try to buy promotion (also see them missing the target and being in or close to administration within 18m).

I played against him when he was at Millwall.

Just thought I'd throw that into the mix.

 

[albion534]

would provide a friend with Buckley in the treatment room

 

[Marshy]

hes not just a right back though is he ?

 

[Seagull73]

ANOTHER player north of 30, and considerably north as well...?

contract length will often win the day

 

[Seasidesage]

How many RB's do we need? Not for me

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Think we need a manager first

 

[Justice]

Bruno may not sign a new deal.

 

[adub68]

I see WBA also released Liam Ridgewell. Left back / centre half cover if either Ward does not come back and he cant find a better option?

 

[Biscuit]

I guess if we have three 30+ right backs, chances are at least one of them may be fit to play at any one time?

 

[Brian Fantana]

I thought he played quite a lot in central midfield? Andrews replacement potentially?

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

I thought he played quite a lot in central midfield? Andrews replacement potentially?

I alway thought he played most of his career as a centre midfielder.

Not exactly short in that area either though are we...

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Yeah let's spunk our top dollar on a 33 year old perpetually injured player when we have two decent right backs in the squad. I know Bruno is out of contract but still. The rumour mill is going to have to do better than this.
