I wonder how much he will be on? Great news if he can get back to his early career form...........otherwise? Still shows a positive reaction to Palace problems.
Would be perfect - just what we need - why hasnt he been snapped up by someone else?
He's a little bit .. errrrrrr ... ummmmm ... got a reputation as an arrogant trouble maker who is too self regarding and overrates his own abilities .. nothing wrong with being confident I say .. But Powell will sort him out

Still only 28 eh? Thought he was older than that. At his best, he is the sorth of player we could do with, doubt he'll be coming cheap but it'll pprobably be less money than he'd set his sights on when he left Bolton.
I still like that peculiar advert from when WHam got promoted under Pardew. He was sat on the bar like a london umpalumpa. Very bizarre, for that reason he's an in for me.
Would love him. He can play the holding role very well and would allow Stephens to get further forward. Please by true.
thought the same except it would allow Hollands to get further forward. Hollands prospered when Hughes was sat alongside him last season. Maybe Stephens would likewise but that is CP's problem. Reo Coker activated his Bolton release clause because he wanted to play in the PL. He has turned down moves to Spain and Turkey. He will be on big money and will expect to play. This is the move I expected when Stephens went to Villa.
Signing Fuller and Reo Coker does muddy the waters regarding financial problems. Are there any or, worse still, will this adversely affect our finances and make matters worse.

I know less than nothing about out true financial plight and the Machiavelian dealings supposedly going on in 'the boardroom' .. but logic decrees that there must be cash availabe to finance these deals (If in fact Reo-Coker signs on) .. the remaining money men must know that relegation would bring about a complete financial meltdown
Play Reo-Coker holding alongside Hollands, with Green, Kermorgant and Jackson infront of them, and BWP further forward. 4231 works well for many teams throughout europe now, and I believe we have the players to do it as well, as Kerkar, Fuller, Wagstaff, Cook, Haynes, Stephens and Pritchard would all fit into this formation

I agree it could work for us but Fuller would likely need to be the 1 and we'd need pace on the flanks. Green might be okay but Cook or Haynes should replace Jackson or possibly both replacing Green and Jackson.
It's a formation that would probably better suit Stephens too - Reo-Cocker is the water carrier while Stephens is the deep lying playmaker - like an unemployed man's Gattuso & Pirlo.

Just wish his name wasn't Nigel....ouch !
His wages based on experience and age would put many off.
I wonder what his injury record is.
Yep, Nigel is an unfortunate name, think we should call him Reo if he signs.
Just noticed source is Daily Mail, not the most reliable source.

an andy reid type player would be perfect, if only there was players like him available... Minus the fat obviously
If he walks, then that effectively opens the whole bag of worms.
