Reo-Coker set for talks (Meaning Evil)
« on: February 12, 2011, 11:11:22 AM »
Quote
NIGEL Reo-Coker will meet Gerard Houllier for crunch talks about his future in a month’s time – amidst strong suggestions that his Villa career will be over in the summer.

Reo-Coker is likely to leave the claret and blues for nothing when his current deal expires at the end of the season after so far failing to accept the contract offer Villa made.

With the arrival of Jean Makoun and Michael Bradley and the emergence of Barry Bannan and Fabian Delph, Houllier is blessed with options in the centre of the park.

But the Villa boss hinted that the £7.5 million midfielder could start at Blackpool today and was pencilled in for an assessment with his agent within the next four weeks.

Take the offer Nigel or see ya later, we don't get held to ransom and pay stupid wages anymore.

Not good enough for me and never has been. Someone will doubtless quote the two and a half good games he has had for us at me now. Or is it three. Get rid...

Agreed - let go.

If he really is asking for the sort of wages that were mentioned on here before then he should see if he can find someone else to pay them - I expect it'll be a long and fruitless search though!  He wouldn't get near the 1st team of any of the top 5 clubs so if we have ambitions of joining them then he should only ever be a reserve for us.

Bye Nige. You're not good enough to get us back into the top 6.

I've always argued that he's a great ahlete but an average footbaler. Will do a good job for somebody, just not us under Houlier. QPR next season would be my guess.

QPR are a good shout, I think he'd prefer to go down south!

Not good enough im afraid, he's terrible with the ball

For me, Makoun , Bradley, Bannan and Delph are definately ahead of him, Petrov on par, and Hogg and Heard coming through, time to let him go.

Absolutely. Probably the most overrated player at the club.

Okay for the bench, but no great loss.

Thought he had a good game today considering he was by himself virtually for the 90 mins. Considering his contract is up he could have gone the Carew, Ashley Young route and gone through the motions but at least gave his all

Yes let's keep him, on silly wages, because he won a friendly!

I've never been a fan.  He'll run all day long, but he has no football brain whatsoever.  I'd let him go.
