If he has to do little running and simply takes set pieces and hits hollywood crossfield passes to willing runners, Reid is not a bad shout. Anything else and he'll seriously struggle.

i can see the similarity between reid and adam but obviously adam is better at it, still not a bad replacement considering what they could realistically pay to and for a player
