THE NOTTINGHAM FOREST SALE: ANDY REID 50% OFF - THAT'S JUST 5m. Product information: Andy Reid is a fully established Irish international, but these ones were damaged during production and the heads grew to large, although the head is now in proportion with the body it is just to much for us to handle so he's now a bargain!

Reid leaving. Hurrah!

Forest manager Joe Kinnear has told Tottenham Hotspur that five-million wouldn't go a-miss for unsettled midfielder Andy Reid. The player is currenlt unhappy with the sorry situation with the club.

"Tottenham are really just having a laugh," said Kinnear. "Last Christmas they put in writing an offer of £5 million, and now they have come back and offered £2 million plus another million after games - there is only one answer to that.

"Since that offer went in he has ended up with 13 goals and five more international caps for his country - does that make him go down £3 million?

"If they want him enough they should go back to their original offer, but there is no chance of him leaving until we get the required amount."

There must be some serious trobles in The Reds' camp if JK is just going to slash his asking price in half. Spurs will now probably come back with a revamped bid and that will be the end of the Pieman. He would be a welcome departure if we can get this much for such a big headed arrogant player!
