Nah, NRC was crap imo. He's like Hutton, runs around a lot and will give his all, but is ultimately, a bit shit.
I'd take a few more players giving their all this season. But yeah, he was a bit shit. One perfect moment that summed up Coker for me was against Juve in the peace cup. Last minute of the game, in extra time. We're under the cosh. It's a pre-season game (July??). We've worked hard. Most of the players are breathing out their arse at this point. Coker gets the ball and then somehow beyond all comprehension has the energy to run full pelt the entire length of the pitch...only to get just inside their box and run straight into a defender and give the ball away.
Chelsea at home, 0-0 and he breaks through 1 on 1 with Cech in the 93rd minute, nobody in the ground expected him to score.
If he was in this side we'd realise just how shit NRC is as there wouldn't be a Barry, Laursen, Milner, etc to help make him look a bit better. Mind you, I don't think he has a club at the moment so maybe we'll find out next season, assuming Milan don't snap him up first.
Bye bye then Gana, Gueye or whatever you're called, you won't be remembered or missed.
We'll get our money back on him I'd imagine. Can't say he's ever stood out to me in any game.

Yeah, probably one of the very few we would get decent money for, so if that is his attitude then get him gone.
I would think there is £20m+ to get from selling Gueye, Ayew, Traore & Richards, maybe made up to £25m by clearing out a few others for very small change. Doesn't sound a lot but if that's what we have and Lerner won't put his hand in his pocket we can at least replace the spine and have to manage the rest on loans and youngsters, plus those out on loan due back (GG, Bennett, Baker).
It's his agent mouthing off, we've had this before
Part of the worst ever Villa team. One down, at least another ten to go.
He's shit anyway. Fuck all point in winning tackles if you can't do anything with the ball. And he's usually spent by 35 minutes. Another useless one dimensional mercenary.
One of the better players this season but that's no great endorsement.
Good riddance, just hope we get the rest of them out as well.
he said as he wa sjoining that we were a stepping stone to better things. Good luck with that.
In that case it's been the only bit of honesty from any of them all season
He's second only to Kante for tackles made this season.
Unfortunately a lot of his tackles are his second touch because his first is like Gestede's.
And he never makes those tackles in the areas that matter either. Our backline has had no protection whatsoever.
How we don't have 10players in the top ten of tackles made or 1 at least top is beyond me....considering we never have the fucking football.
He's got more names than goals and assists.
He won't be missed. Too lightweight. He can beat a man unlike Westwood, but his recovery position is woeful, he does create or score.
He offers no threat and if we get what we aid for him, then meh.
