    Saw my Bristol City supporting mate on Sunday. He reckons Baldock has been exceptional so far. Genuine quality.

  • If the Nigel joins the Nigels after training with us I will boo the shit out of him when we play them at their place.

    I doubt shouting boo will scare him enough for that. ;0)

    I think Powell is quite happy to use his position to help out people he knows - in the interview on the os when we signed DNG last year I remember getting a real sense of while Powell thought he'd be half useful, he was doing him a favour getting him out of millsmall - DNGs interview also came across quite strongly like that as well - moreso than the usual 'getting a fresh opportunity' stuff. Not saying that it's wrong necessarily, but i wouldn't be surprised if we are just helping him out.

    very simply its networking, what goes around comes around. How to win friends and influence people etc. So you've made a friend/contact, and some of it might even rub off on the youth players. Seems like a no brainer to me. Fact is this guy has a lot of experience and is a star of sorts, so why not.

    100% spot on and put it better . Kids can watch and learn and we make another friend in football.

    What goes around comes around

    Tell him to sign or piss off.
  • Convinced I saw him in the WL tonight, so distracted seeing if it was him I missed Hamer picking the ball up.

    Don't blame the player, blame the Board and their Miser ways!

    He is not going to be Nigel of the Nigels according to Sky. Football Rumours are linking him with Blackburn however.

    I paste the Sky report for info.

    Crystal Palace boss Dougie Freedman has denied reports that the club are in talks with free agent Nigel Reo-Coker.

    The 28-year-old is without a club since leaving Bolton in the summer and has been linked with the Eagles and Championship rivals Blackburn Rovers.
    However, Freedman says midfield is not an area they are currently looking to strengthen.

    "It's not true and there have been no discussions," he told the Croydon Advertiser. "I've not met him or spoken to him, so it's not true.

    "I understand agents put things out, and because I've got respect for Nigel, I won't comment on it, but it's not true and it's a position we don't need to fill right now."

    Freedman also ruled any potential loan signings or moves for unattached players, stating he is happy with the current batch of players at his disposal.

    "Nobody is training with the club and there is no loan activity," he said. "I would say we're doing OK right now."

    I can give you the latest from Cray..


    According to the local caravan owners he is no longer training with us.
  • Wants to be closer to London, so realistically that's West Ham, QPR or Fulham in the Premier, and if Fulham were interested they'd have gone for him after Diarra got injured.

    I suppose QPR might go for him but they probably have eyes on better players the way they spend money.

    Not sure if West Ham would be interested. So if he wants to stay in London it'll have to be a championship team
