Apparently Winston Reid has told WH that he wants to join us if we bid.

If reports are true that we are interested in a pretty much unknown CD for £15m I don't understand why we don't just get him, they want £8m will probably take £5m and he is a proven prem player.

Come on AW pay the money!

Surely if West Ham wish to sign Jenkinson on a permanent basis, Reid would provide some sort of swop deal.
I can't see us taking Jenkinson back, as we have the superb Debuchy, fast improving Bellerin and Chambers, who can all play at right back.
Unless of course we are not interested in signing Reid or the clubs are too far apart on the financial figures.

Reid is rubbish you don't want him

The only thing I can see is that maybe he will come for free in the summer it may be that his agent is telling him he will benefit financially.

It's a no brainer for me even at £8m, we need a CD and he is proven, we are being linked with unproven players for 10-15m

Ed02, if you would be kind enough to grace us with your knowledge, do you think it is still possible? It seems to have gone quiet there since a week ago.

{Ed002's Note - I would think if a bid arrives from a club he is attracted to (e.g. Arsenal) then Reid will go. He can negotiate with non-EPL sides now and sign a pre-contract if he finds something suitable - that means walking in the summer with him getting a fatter signing on fee and WHU getting zip. Alternatively he could take his chances and wait until the summer and see what is available.}

He can't be too bad, he's kept you lot out of the bottom three!
