I have to admit, I was gobsmacked when the midfielder said last week: "It's normal to say words like 'black' or 'negro' in Turkey but, when you say this in England, it's misunderstood." Another Hint Emre Is Heading Out Of Toon
I have to admit, I was gobsmacked when the midfielder said last week: "It's normal to say words like 'black' or 'negro' in Turkey but, when you say this in England, it's misunderstood." If that is not admitting guilt I don't know what is! Perhaps those words won't be "misunderstood" in Germany, because that seems his likely destination as Bayern Munich are set to give him sanctuary.
Now, according to the the News of the World, Newcastle United intend to launch a £5 million bid for West Ham midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker in the summer to replace him.
The 22-year-old midfielder is skipper of West Ham but he has suffered taunts from the Hammers fans this season, suggesting the Under-21 international is not giving 100%. However, Roeder is a big fan of the player and it was rumoured he asked for money to buy him in the January transfer window.
But ... although West Ham are prepared to let him go, they wanted Scott Parker in part-exchange. Roeder was quick to knock that idea on the head.
