Fair enough - I also see a player with lots of potential.
But what if we turned the facts around and looked at it the way the Hammers do:
1) He had one great season - then he suffered from the second season syndrome and was absolute wack last year
2) West Ham fans claim he was shown a lot of love it's just that he was too much of a c*unt (a word they use a lot over there) to realize it. Who is to say MON will cure it?
3) That hairdresser thingy is of course a nice thing, but I reckon they might look at him in a different light saying he did it to put himself in a better situation and fish for new clubs as there really hasn't been much activity around him.
Like I said, I am just playing the Devil's advocate on this one, but what strikes me is that this never happens in football, oh, to other than pricks I mean. Who is in trouble in England? Barton, Bellamy (always), Reo-Coker right now, before it has been Di Canio, Cantona and Ginola, Kluivert...... all "pricks" you know..... it doesn't happen to Darren Fletcher or Gavin McCann. Nigel Reo-Coker can be a huge asset to us, I don't know, but I just want to point out that he isn't a saint, by the looks of it....
If he was wack last year I would like to see him when he is brilliant, he made the second most tackles in the entire division last season behind Scott Parker but he had a higher success rate.
Reo Coker hasn't done much wrong in my opinion unlike Barton who has form of being an idiot over a long period. When he goes to Newcastle I wonder if he will cause trouble with Dye or against him? time will tell.
