Definitely at least Championship quality which cannot be said with absolute certainty for any of our other midfielders. If we can sign him it's a no brainer.
Could it be that SCP has gone to the board to say, either we get people in or i walk. If he walks, then that effectively opens the whole bag of worms.
Are we back into making-stories-up season ?
It seems so. Not sure what is the point of it.
Just trying to imaine a possible scenario.
What about: Powell wanted to have a look at Reo-Coker, but he thought he could get a Premiership club. He hasn't been able to and so is now open to the move. Sounds like a much more realistic scenario
One minute everyone is convinced we're on the edge of financial meltdown, next they can't wait to welcome a bloke who will almost certainly be on very big bucks.
I'd be happy if we signed him, but not at the expense of the clubs long term future.
Good point, but If we don't do something to the midfield pronto our short term future will be rather grim
The long term future of the club is far, far more important to me
How old is Reo-Coker? This is just the sort of signings We need to make every so often, I can't see it breaking the bank and maybe he'll be another Di Canio.
Speculate to accumulate. (Without doing a "Leeds")
IF it happens, it would be a great signing! imo....
"Championship Strugglers" ...little bit harsh after 5 games!
Accurate enough, though, from what we've seen so far. Not everything printed in The Daily Mail is a lie (just 99 per cent of it!)
Powell played with him at West Ham under some bloke called Pardew in 2004-5. Reo-Coker was 19 or 20 at the time and Powell was the senior pro. So I think we can trust SCP both in the decision to recruit and then to get the best out of him.
And let's face it, something has to be done about the midfield...

Also heard about the other 2 but only know the identity of one.........
Cheers tf mate
Nigel Reo-Coker training with #cafc but told there is no chance of a permanent deal.

Jackson needs to be dropped/rested and Pritchard needs bringing back in the middle because he is not a winger.
