Should Man Utd get Nigel Reo-Coker?

if hargreaves deal doesn't come through, should we get him?

West Ham captain Nigel Reo-Coker has handed in a transfer request.

According to his advisor, Tony Finnigan, the 23-year-old has decided on a move for pastures new after he was not given the right assurances over his future by the club's board.

'I can confirm that Nigel Reo-Coker has officially handed in a transfer request with West Ham,' said Finnigan.

'Nigel hopes his future will be resolved in the next few weeks.

'I am surprised that a 23-year-old Londoner who is captain of his club is being allowed to leave.'

Finnigan added to Sky Sports: 'As I said in January, Nigel would get his head down and work to keep West Ham in the Premiership.

'And that is exactly what he did with 100% commitment.'

Finnigan denied having already spoken to any clubs but did say he expected Reo-Coker to stay in the top flight.

'I haven't had any conversations but one thing is for sure, he will be playing Premiership football next year,' he told Sky Sports News.

if glaciers are selling, MUFC won’t be buying anybody.

We cant fit him in with the arrival of Hargreaves

It's RUMOURS. If they plan to sell, it won't be in the near future. Rolling Eyes

I agree. I don't think they will be getting anymore midfielders for the timebeing. SAF is more likely going to power up his backline and then of course, there's talk that SAF planned to get a more reliable striker too... I thought Rossi is coming back already so there's really little need for that... Rolling Eyes

Based on our curent system…sort of 4-1-2-2-1..Main striker supported by 2 influential wingers in the form of Ronaldo and giggs..I was thinking liddat need more strikers for wad … Spend 30 million on Berbatov to put him on the bench?Like this becoming like Chelsea liao…

iceFatboy SG

unless SAF comes up with an alternative strategy.

he will most likely start scholes, OwenH and Ronaldo, leaving one other vacant.

With carrick, giggs, fletcher.. I am unsure how Nigel will fit in leh.

if both Nigel and Owen plays, would it be a bit defensive?

however, I read that OwenH can play as attacking MF as well given his experience.

And being captain of a club, and asking him to be on the bench.
would it be a bit "chelsea-like"??

iceFatboy SG

agreed..

and Berbatov, 30Mil, not worth..

like what RB of pool, he identified two strikers that he would like @ 13M a piece.
surely, MUFC can get one good striker at a cheaper price.

stellazio SG

park will be coming back also.

iceFatboy SG

for backline, the only concern would be RB where GNeville is getting old.
same as the LW, Giggs..But saying that, MUFC is alternating wingers so LW can be RW or vice versa.

so MUFC needs one who can play either wings - aaron lennon of spurs??

iceFatboy SG

it seems park is really out, and for him to come back and be effective, I suspect may be after Christmas..

cause everyone is trying to downplay his injury and to me, that means something major happened.

stellazio SG

buy simao. or the out of favour vicente. Laughing

i think the priority is to sort out gigg's replacement - thats why the interest in Nani. Like it or not, Glazers have to cough out some money to make a purchase - richardson is hopeless and he is better off on loan to Sunderland or Birmingham.

Reo coker can be purchased as a back up for Heagraves / Scholes bah....but still I think there is a need to get someone to replace Scholes or at least start grooming him. Otherwise if Scholes have an injury, Man U will be one short in the midfield.

Da formation is made famous by Mourinho in recent times (any earlier dates I not sure hor...) And I think in this formation, the use of Rooney is confusing to the opposition. Rooney is no out and out striker and cannot tahan solo. He runs... or rather rams at defences and in this formation deployment its basically 4-1-2-3-0. Laughing

Getting Reo-Coker is not necessary (IMO) at the moment. Getting a replacement for Giggs and another striker (injury free kind) is more important.

iceFatboy SG

yes, the best reason was look at this season, with scholes back, we were more assured in MF, and promptly, won the league.

iceFatboy SG

simao seems loyal to his team. despite many rumours, he did not move.
loyal chap.

iceFatboy SG

that's why it is so puzzling... so much talk, but nothing materializes..

And now spurs is registering their interest in Nani. and for me, once they identified, they secure, fast.

Wish United were more like them..

Slipshade SG

Not really so for backline. Wes Brown and John O'Shea are good, but they are unable to fill the shoes for the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Heinze, Evra and GN if they gets injured. Remember the makeshift backline Man Utd was forced to have as the season was near to a close? Sad

Aaron Lennon will be hard to buy... Sad

iceFatboy SG

just where does Spurs get all those money?? They are spending more than Chelsea...
