The speculation surrounding an important member of his squad is finally getting to Allardyce and he revealed his frustration with the defender’s indecisiveness over his future.

"I have absolutely no idea”, Allardyce was quoted as saying by the club’s official site, when asked if Reid is staying.
“He has an exceptionally good offer on the table, but he won’t make a decision either way.
“We cannot get a decision out of him, unless we torture him. Cocktail sticks under the nails or ring up Jack Bauer [a fictional TV character], I’m sure he could get the answer out of him."
Despite the uncertainty around his future, Reid has continued to remain an important of Allardyce’s West Ham squad and has made 27 appearances in all competitions this season as the Hammers bid to finish in a European spot in the Premier League
