May I offer that NRC would have done more to take out that run on Sat than we attempted too? Hes very, very limited, but we are light there and a 6 month deal to Jan might help if Tshibola is so injury prone.

Could only imagine he'd be brought in as cover and to add a bit of experience to the dressing room. I mean at 32, not played for 8 months and erm..., temperamental to say the least (look how many clubs he's walked out on since us), on paper it seems a very odd one

If we're looking at out of contract midfielders surely Osman is the one

Got to agree. He is 35 but a one year deal to add a bit of experience, especially in situations like being 2-1 up and needing to see the game out.

My preference would be Flamini.  Has he gone anywhere?

I always liked Reo Coker!

I agree too. I wouldn't mind NRC for a few months as well, as long as he's fit and no shitter than he was when he left. We're well short in midfield after our first-choice two. And we're not really sure about Tshibola either yet.

Our best season under O'Neill when we won 10 or 11 away games, NRC was a key player stopping the opposition and laying it off to Youngy and co to spring an attack - if he's fit I would have no objection in bringing him in to plug that massive leak in the middle of the Villa Park. Yes he is not the most creative player but we've got plenty of them all he needs to do is destroy the likes of Huddersfield and Sheff Wednesday when they come over the halfway line but I guess that's why we've signed Jedinak.

I have very different memories of NRC, I held a party when he left last time don't know what i'l do if he comes back
he wasn't good enough before he won't be good enough now imo
