Any reservations about having the former Charlton judas Parker playing for your other favorite. I personally still like the guy but I know a lot of Addicks fans still hate him for ruining our chance at Europe.
Personally, I really like Reid. However, there is something in the water at the Valley or Sparrows Lane. There is an attitude and level of complacency that seeps into the players and it results in our mid-season collapses or general failure. It must be rooted out before we can move forward and I think the only way to ensure this is through a complete overhaul.

I've been aware of this complacency for a while, which is why I wasn't in the hate Parker camp. That being said, I did enjoy his failings at Chelsea and thought it was just. It's interesting because when Arsenal was first linked with him I actually felt a little resentment and brushed him off as unnecessary. Now, Arsenal's need is dire and he's grown into a quality player.

one veteran goal poacher for a year or two (RVN or Klose)

and keep one of the current 3, likely Defoe
Okay, now I can see it.
