I think it would be a monumental mistake to get rid of NRC, hes a brilliant player, works like a dog! Also a great ball winner as you said!
I think we should get Darren Bent off the spuds, under the right guidence, he could be prolific

i doubt anybody would want to see reo coker go.

but if he did look to leave then a swap for bent would be the best outcome.

anyways,just more ******** written by the london red tops to try and unsettle what we're doing at villa park,no doubt it's some half baked dream invented by a spud fan.

At last a article agreeing with me he was our captain is a great squad player and has a great atitude considering he never plays in his favoured role. But isn't moaning.

if we swapped him for Lennon then it would be a really gd deal, but wouldnt want NRC to leave for anything else really.

It's amazing how all the NRC bashers seem to have quietly avoided this article.

If we allowed him to leave I'd be disgusted. He is an essential part of the squad - not just for his tackling, etc - but also for his new-found versatility and leadership.

He is the most vocal player on the pitch and he lifts the players when he plays.

UTV.

I find it interesting that almost since the beginning of the premiership there has been little focus on the 'holding midfield' player until the season Makelele came to Chelsea! Ok, there was Keane and Viera, but they were described as box to box leaders, not holding, quiet, breaking up the play midfielders. Now it seems all clubs want, or even need one (sometimes two!).

Arguably we have 4 in the form of barry, petrov, sidwell, and of course NRC who has been shifted to right back! I was one of many who slated Petrov last year, and couldn't understand why Mon kept faith with him, but it is his form which has meant NRC hasn't played his best position holding midfield.. I hope that we ensure we keep hold of him as he is still young, and very hard working, essential for every team!

By the way, I like your sign off, and have added to it..
