Guest sicko2ndbest Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 TOON'S REO BID By Ray Ryan NEWCASTLE will make a £5million move for Nigel Reo-Coker in the summer — and they are about to clinch a new deal with James Milner. Toon boss Glenn Roeder has earmarked the Hammers skipper as a possible replacement for Turkish star Emre, whose future is in doubt over a race row. And Roeder is ready to raid his former club to make a move for 22-year-old midfielder Reo-Coker. Quit Winger Milner has also given the Geordies a boost after pledging his future to the club despite nearly quitting five months ago. Milner, 21, is on the verge of signing a new four-year contract which will keep him at St James' Park until 2011. Milner almost quit for Aston Villa in the summer after a spell on loan. But he said: "Since I have come back I have hit the ground running. I kept my house up here and that helps. "This has been a fantastic season because I am enjoying my football. "I would like to stay here a long time." ALSO ON OWEN NOTW reckon he his big buds with the new Liverpol owners, and they want him back at Liverpool as long as Benitez also wants him Owen is a geordie, no chancce will he return to Liverpool after all we have done for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 sounds intresting. but to be honest I haven´t seem him so much so I don´t really know if he is going to be better then Emre. But it sounds intresting and for me Emre isen´t good enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Owen link was bound to come out sooner or later. Liverpool can't score consistently, while Liverpool missed out before because they couldn't afford him. With the cash inflow, newspapers are going to jump to the obvious conclusion that he is Liverpool bound. Unlikely I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I'd demand our money back for Owen, considering they are supposed to be minted now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I'd rather not have Reo-Coker anywhere near our team at all to be honest. Sidwell is a better option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Owen is a professional and would not leave us having played so few games. Plus i dont think liverpool would want him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Reo-Coker would be somewhat of a gamble considering he's only performed consistently for one season.. and even if West Ham are relegated, as the England u21 captain, he's sure to have an overinflated price tag. I'm undecided about Sidwell, he'd only leave Reading for guarenteed first team football and i don't know wether he's good enough to merit it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 more likely if liverpool were wanting to show off their new found wealth then it would be david villa they will go for seen as they were linked to heavily in the summer. Also rememebering back to the whole thing surrounding the transfer rafa let him go on to pastures new owen always said that he was a liverpool for life man and he went anyway. I have to think that rafa would feel mega red faced if he put in a 12million bid for a striker he didnt want to hold onto. Also have to agree pundits the world over would be giving owen a hard time for comming to a team playing under 1000 mins and leaving, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never done drugs. Don't hate Parker, just don't think he's very good. Why do you hate Butt so much? Or is it as I suspect and that it's because you don't think he's very good, which is the same as I feel about Parker of course, yet I don't accuse you of hating Butt.

It pays to be wary when signing players for big money who have only had one decent season at the top level. Applies to Sidwell and Reo-Coker imo. Among others.

nufcjmc Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 smart money would be on emre due to the whole racist thing, butt isnt safe either as he is 31 now? 32/33 next season so we need to think about replacements. As for parker I agree he hasn't been the player we had last season but he is only 27 so would be a better one for the future than butt plus roeder made him the captain so unless parker wanted to leave nothing is going to change.

I dont hate Butt i just think that he is past his best,he is 32 and he dont have too much time ahead of him so thats why we must have a back up for him Parker on the other hand is 26 and the best years of his career are in front of him Recently he was poor but every player has his ups and downs I dont think that he is as poor as you say he is...

I actually pay very little attention to whether players are on a free or not as whatever is saved in the fee to a club will likely to go the player in signing on fee and wages, plus agent pay-off anyway. They still cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not a football insider or an agent but I thought they get their fees even if the club gets a fee, the difference is that their fees will be bigger if the club doesn't get a fee. It may not add up to as much but there is no such thing really as a free player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Reo-Coker yes please, but we'd need to fork out more than £5 million surely. As for Owen, no-one would be silly enough to match the wages that we're paying him, or the fee that we shelled out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
