Nigel Reo Coker on Exit - “I didn’t know who was in charge.."

  We would have kept an average 27 year old midfielder, on probably around £40k a week, and not played Herd and probably released him.No brainer for me.

  Herd, Bannan, Albrighton, Delph etc, might not be any good, but we need to have a look at them, otherwise whats the point of having such a good youth system.

What is the point of having a good youth system if the experienced players get you relegated?

I think it was intended as gallows humour.

Chris Herd > NRC.

[Karl Bridges]

Weren't we linked to Romeu under GH. Him & Cabaye would have made a massive difference this season. Not that I am saying he would have chosen us over Chelsea but you just never know.

[JUAN PABLO]

I think Romeu was coming and then picked up an injury .    Im sure GH would have gone back in . He has a clause that Barca can buy him back for around 9 million .

[JUAN PABLO]

we will now have the likes of Guthrie and Gibson to look forward to .

we will become a poor mans Sunderland .

[TimTheVillain]

A sad reflection on the way the club is being run

Agree.

Poor is the word.

[Legion]

Come on NRC is average at best.

I'd much rather have him than Heskey in midfield.

[Chris Smith]

How would he have paid for that pair, both fees and wages? Plus the whole new defence we were going to need and while he's at replace Ash and Downing?

Dont know Chris , I dont run the club . he was probably the same fee as Hutton  .  There might have been talk of a loan if to be honest .

Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers are leading the race to sign Barcelona starlet Oriol Romeu.
 The Catalan giants want to tie him to a new deal well before his current contract comes to an end in 2012.

However, his impressive performances in the holding role for Barcelona B have attracted widespread interest.

p.s at least Houlier was trying to get some decent players in .

Would of loved to have seen what Houllier would of done for Aston Villa. Really think he could of took us to another level. His knowledge of players all over europe is impeccable and he was highly respected .......

I didn't really see any of that in Houllier, sadly.
