Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakaae ana a Sam Allardyce he hē tana whakapae i whakawhiwhia a Winston Reid i muri i te hainatanga hou a te kaitautoko o West Ham ki te karapu. He maha nga marama e haere ana nga korerorero i waenga i nga Hammer me Reid, me te hiahia a Liverpool, Tottenham me Arsenal e tuku ana i nga kaitautoko o West Ham ki runga i te heke mai o to raatau ao o Niu Tireni. I kii a Allardyce i te marama o Hanuere 'he tino kore pea' kaore ano a Reid kia whakaae ki te wehe atu i Upton Park i te mea kaore ano ia kia haina i tetahi kirimana hou ka kii i te timatanga o tenei marama me mahi ia i nga tikanga uiui a Jack Bauer mai i te pouaka whakaata '24' kia whiwhi whakautu mai i te kaitakaro. I hainatia e Winston Reid he kirimana hou mo te ono me te hawhe tau ki West Ham i te wiki kua hipa i muri i te mea i puta mai ka wehe ia. I kii a Sam Allardyce kaore pea a Reid i whakaae ki te whakauru atu ki tetahi atu karapu. Engari ko te 26-tau-tawhito, ka ngaro i te haerenga o te Rahoroi ki Arsenal na te whara, kua hainatia inaianei he kirimana ono me te hawhe tau ki te pupuri i a ia ki te kakahu o te rawhiti o Ranana - me Allardyce tere ki te whakaae kua he tana korero i te ahuatanga. 'I he ahau, na whakaae ahau,' ka mea ia ka ui ia ki te mea i miharo ia ki te kite i Reid haina i te mahi hou i te uiui mehemea kua taped ia ake. 'Ki ahau, ki te kore te kirimana o tētahi, ka oti katoa te mahi, ā, ka whakakorea i te mutunga o te tau, ahakoa kāore pea i oti, i whakakorea mai i tētahi tirohanga pepa. 'Kua whakaritea e tana māngai tētahi kirimana ki tētahi wāhi, ki tētahi atu rānei o tēnei whenua. I tino āwangawanga ahau mō te haere ki tāwāhi nā te mea tērā pea he kirimana i mua. I honoa te kaitiaki pokapū ki ngā kapa pēnei i a Tottenham me Arsenal i mua i te hainatanga o tētahi kirimana hou. 'I kite pea tētahi o ngā karapu nui i Uropi i ngā mahi a Winston i konei, ā, ka mea "ko ia te tangata mātau" ā, ka mau ki a ia ki tāwāhi, nō reira he tino hē ahau.' E whakapono ana a Allardyce he whakaaturanga kaha mo West Ham i tenei wa ka awhina i a Reid ki te noho tonu - e tohe ana...
I hainatia e Winston Reid he kirimana hou mo te ono tau me te hawhe ki West Ham i te wiki kua hipa. I te āhua nei ka wehe noa atu te kaitākaro o Aotearoa i te karapu i te raumati nei. I kii a Allardyce kaore pea a Reid i whakaae ki te uru atu ki tetahi atu karapu. Engari kua whakaae inaianei te rangatira o West Ham he hē tana whakaaro i tērā.
