Nottingham Forest start Bidding War

Now Newcastle United are involved in the signing of Andy Reid, apparently Sir Bobby is lining up a 6m swoop for the young Irishman.
BOBBY ROBSON wants to snap up Nottingham Forest’s Andy
Reid — and cause Tottenham more misery.
First Division Forest have slapped a £6million price tag on their Republic of
Ireland midfielder.
And Newcastle chief Robson is more than willing to meet that valuation as he
plots his side’s march towards the fourth Champions League place.
Robson, stung by chairman Freddy Shepherd’s damning criticism of the Toon’s
performances so far this season, is determined to strengthen his squad during
the transfer window.
The Geordies are currently a disappointing seventh in the table and Robson is
already eyeing a £5m swoop for Standard Liege’s Belgium striker Emile Mpenza.
And Reid, 21, has become another top target.
Should Andy Reid leave the City Ground it would be a bitter blow to the fans who rate him very highly and have made it clear that they don't want any more talents being sold
