I think 300K might be a more realistic price but what would we get for that? A 3 grand a week striker on a 2 year contract after probably forking out 200K in the first place perhaps? No guarantee he would be any better than Reid either. We couldn't sell him without replacing him as all we have left is Jervis who has made a very encouraging start and Brunt who is still finding his way in league football and is probably a league 2 journeyman type number 9 rather than a player who is going to inspire a promotion push. After that Harvey who we are still waiting to step up to the mark, the injured Smalley and a boy who is not yet ready for regular first team football. For people to say we have managed to get to 2nd after 5 games without any great input from Reid and to think that could be sustained with only the forward options we would have left is a bit naive and would be a massive gamble never mind taking away so much positivity that the fan base generally feel at the moment. IF the club felt an offer did come in that was just too good to turn down for a player nearing the end of his contract say 400/500k then the only thing that would appease most fans would be to spend the vast majority of it on buying a proven player of some quality for the lower leagues. As it stands unless behind the scenes Reid is seriously pushing to double his wages elsewhere, which I doubt then the club should stay strong as they appear to be doing. The feel good factor, the goodwill with the fan base would be well rewarded with a serious promotion push adding at least 20,000 paying customers over our likely budgeted for attendance figure for the remaining 20 home games which would cover any transfer fee lost now.
