Reo-Coker signs for Vancouver!
« on: February 22, 2013, 04:10:34 AM »
Just heard our Nige has agreed a 4 year deal with the Whitecaps and makes his debut at home to Toronto a week Saturday, I'm so glad I renewed my season ticket!!  ;)  I thought i'd seen the last of him running around like a headless chicken, here we go again!!
He's not signed as a designated player so I think the most he can be on is $4000 a week, didn't he think he was worth 50,000 quid a week once?? Poor Nige.

UTV!

I know what you mean, I wouldn't get out of bed for 4K a week.

Who is the "designated player" then? Surely not Super Average Kenny Miller?

Might have to get over to BC place this season to watch a game. I quite enjoyed him at VP for that one season he performed...he'll do well here, and he's join a really decent MLS side on the up.

Presumably there is no passing of the ball more than 5 yards in a straight line to another player
 involved if he'll do well there?

I must have missed that one season though I think I did catch the one game!

Didn't he say he was a champion's league player when he left us? He must have meant the CONACAF version

I think it was his agent who was putting out the idea that Europe's top clubs were in competition to sign him. Personally I would have welcomed him back in January on a deal till the end of the season.

Good luck to him. Despite his shortcomings and being played out of position he always did his best for us.

Championship player at best. If I was 'fully fit' I could have ran round in a Villa shirt all day for us, kicking a few people and maybe even found another player with the odd pass.

God loves a trier, and he didn't half give it a go when he played. I think he'll do well at that level, fair play to him.

I'm quite worried about our Nige and his propensity to go sideways.

I've looked where Vancouver is on a map and if he keeps going sideways there, there is a real danger he could fall off the edge of the World.

Good luck to him. He did his best for us and that's all we can ask.

Surely the best thing about playing for the Whitecaps, is living in Vancouver! Lovely part of Canada - a real favourite of mine.
