Charlton have signed Tottenham midfielder Andy Reid on a four-year deal, which could be worth £3m.

The Republic of Ireland international becomes Addicks boss Iain Dowie's fifth new recruit in the last nine days.

Dowie said: "Everyone is aware that the Premier League is about quality and ability on the ball. So we are delighted to clinch Andy's signing."

Reid joined Tottenham from Nottingham Forest in January 2005 and made 27 appearances, scoring one goal.

poo. He would have been good for us (if we were ever interested in him)

Not worth up to £3m though.

In Nicholls, Stone, Westlake, Bakke, Lewis, Carole, Derry, Einarsson, Gregan and Richardson, we have enough quality there to easily take on anyone when most are fit.

As Leeds have limited funds, I'd rather see the money spent on one or two decent defenders to be honest.
