Blackwell: Reid deal done

Wed 01 Jul, 03:48 PM


Kevin Blackwell expects to complete the signing of Kyel Reid once the former West Ham winger has passed a medical.

Reid, an England Under-19 international, was a free agent after his contract at West Ham expired earlier this summer and the Blades have won the race for his signature ahead of half a dozen rivals.

Blackwell, who has offered Reid a two-year contract, said: "Kyel is one who will be joining us. He's having a medical and is then going to sign."

The Blades manager is also hoping to negotiate a deal for former Portsmouth midfielder Glen Little, who is currently on trial at Bramall Lane.

Blackwell added: "Glen's with us for a couple of weeks and if all goes well we will be looking to make him a permanent signing.

"We know all about Glen. He was snapped up by Portsmouth from Reading last summer and if we could get him on board it would give us another very creative player."

  2. What is this? The "we hate West Ham Club" ­ shopping at Upton Park again. For men who are meant to­ dispise us they don't half love our products. ­ Maybe we're getting to the bottom of their problem­ with our success. If we fail they get to pick up our­ young players cheap. Well Neil and Kevin, how about­ giving West Ham a big bow and tell everyone how much­ you obviously admire West Ham and the great football we­ play, what great players we nurture and how good we are­ for the game in general. Well Neil? Kevin? Can't­ hear you.
