Three years ago I'd have loved Reuben Reid. He's played all over the West Country and scored goals ....... but he is absolutely the wrong kind of player NOW.
He's 31. He's on his way down. My fear is that he'll be a Sylvan Ebanks-Blake who has found he can no longer do what he used to do. And we'll probably waste a good wage on him. Bob's were burbling about him a couple of days ago when I took a brief look. Typically they thought there might be goals in a Reid / Boden partnership. There might but I'd be after a younger model - Tshimanga from Oxford City perhaps or Glen Taylor from Spennymoor if he'd go full-time.
The other signing I'd make without hesitation is Nassim L'Ghoul Welling's winger. He's 21, made the team of the year for National South last season. He's French, started out in the Nike Academy. Surely we need someone to go wide more than an older man to push Amantchi and Rawson further away from pitch time .......? What do you think?
