Rio isn't only a good defender, he talks a good game!

[californiahoop]

I say bring him in!

[Kirill]

No.

[acricketer]

No.

You know what that's a cracking point. I listened to him yesterday and like when Gary Neville speaks on sky thought to myself you actually know what your on about and make sense. If you had Nedum beside him and him talking the defence through the game it could actually work out quite well.

From a no im in two minds now as you can see he would bring more to the plate then just defending. Last two season in prem what we really missed was prem league players who knew their craft and had earned their stripes

Another bloke who knows what he's on about is Danny Murphy. Agree about Rio, I actually quite like him on the panel and I really thought I wouldn't.

My thoughts exactly and maybe someone like Micheal Mancienne to partner Dunne as a back up second pair and we are sorted, Nick I also agree, I thought it would lots of, " you get me" but the man knows his onions.

have to say rio has really impressed me with his obvious knowledge of defensive matters.....would i like him for a season or two...........without a shadow of a doubt!

Agree wholeheartedly with this thread. I thought Gary Neville would be a rubbish pundit due to preconceptions then he comes on Sky with some blinding insights. I have felt the same with Rio. It's obvious to see their Fergie football analysing brain and it would be great to get Rio on board.

Manicienne would be a great shout and from playing in the Bundesliga he would have an even greater footballing brain. Plus, Rio would give that defensive coaching which will be so valued in the Premiership.

Would be a great signing for twelve months considering we have to old men at CB as much as I love them.

[QPR Richard]

Have to disagree with some on here. Just because he talks a good game doesn't hide the fact he's 35 pushing 36, and has a back that is so bad he had to stand up on flights going to champs league games. Some people are too easily swayed by a bit of chat!

Still, crack on lads hoping we sign old injured players, but don't whinge if HR brings in a load of them.

[Kevin Mcleod]

Blokes a brilliant footballer who loves the game and playing it, so many deluded rangers fans on here its unreal. Would be an amazing signing.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Yea. Ok d!ckie

Agree kevin

I agree but it all comes down to wages, what would be the lowest he'd go?

Also comes down to how many games he will play?

Well it for us to say if you come this is what were prepared to pay take it or leave it. that's the only deal I would do this is the offer think about it and sign if it appeals. Also the onus is on him if he is generally interested not to price himself out a move begs the question how much does he want to be back in London which is the suggestion if so there are prob only two options us or West Ham possibly Palace

'You get me' so true that's exactly what I thought he was going to be like.
