  1. [quote user="Stuart Clark"] why are we offering him a new contract? I have seen the boy play on a number of occasions and i have always thought he was the worst player on the pitch, he is simply not good enough for this level, even torquay wouldnt play him and they got relegated to the conference!! Hes a shocker [/quote] CAN''T AGREE MORE I THOUGHT LAST YEAR IT WAS A TOTAL WASTE  GIVING HALLIDAY AND FISK PRO CONTRACTS NEITHER OF THEM WERE GOOD ENOUGH.   
  2. I think you will find that is the same for both of them both very lazy trainers, I also believe that shows when they play, they always look to be labouring around the pitch.  I feel they both need a rocket up their a*** as they do have talent.  But imo neither at Championship Level.  
  3. Think PG has already said its likely that Rossi will go out on loan for the whole of next season.  From that I take it he watched him in training and thought others were better, maybe he will come back from a loan period a better player.  But at the moment imo he is not better than Michael Spillane.  Ryan should be released from his contract, I see he has now gone back to his usual "lazy" self and has been substituted in Orients last few games getting low marks in all the Sunday newspapers.  Rossi may look good at Reserve and England Youth level but imo he has probably found the right level for him as a professional footballer.  
  4. Theres a name from the past!!!! didn''t get much of a look in when a pro at Norwich, worrying if he is quitting his club (Barnet) I think and we are interested.  Quite a big step up, as I don''t recall him setting the world alight in Div II.   
  5. [quote user="savenell"]ive been thinking about this for a while. the only reason he is backing youth is because he has no one else left.[/quote] It may only be "because he as to" but at least the Academy players may begin to believe they do have a chance at  Norwich which certainly wasn''t the case whilst Worthy was in charge.  I am sure it will be very good for the future of the youngsters.
  6. [quote user="GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary"]Play whichever team you like in the senior cup, you''ll never prize it away from the mighty Dereham Town F.C !!!![/quote]   Thought Dereham Town FC were the ex Norwich City Reserves (Adam Gusterson, Danny Self, OllieWillis, Nicky Howell, Sam Willis)!!!
  7. [quote user="jas the barclay king"] we still arent safe from relegation... best not to blood the youngsters until we have NO CHANCE of going down... survival is still to be played for. jas :) [/quote] Lucky he didn''t play Chris Martin until we had NO CHANCE of going down then.  Cave Brown is a decent player and should get a chance now ready for next season imo  
  8. If they had read anything on the Torquay website they would not have seen anything to to make them excited.  Both Rossi and Matthew Halliday were not rated by the Torquay fans so maybe they think Rossi isn''t going to be much of asset.  
  9. I bet you Chris Martin don''t hate Grant, at least he has given him a chance.
  10. [quote user="no1 donny fan"]his the goalkeeper for the youth team and imo will be the only one of the second year scolars to be given a 1year extension on his scolar agreement he shows real promise .Also a very well built young boy he must be using the gym unlike the rest of them who look like they should ,would really like to see him pushed  on with the first team[/quote]   He may be offered a 1 year exension to his scholarship which in lay mans terms is next to nothing, he should be hoping to get a 1 year pro deal at least, surely Chris Martin a 2nd year scholar will be getting a proper 3 year contract (i hope).  But as far as seeing him pushed on with the first team I would imagine he is still behind Joe Lewis in that depatment and it appears that every time Joe gets a sniff of first team action they get another keeper in on loan. 
  11. [quote user="Jamie Wright"]Jarvis and Martin for me.[/quote]   Cant see these two playing together no pace.  imo you have to balance up can you put into jarvis the workrate, aggression etc of martin and can you put the technique, skill of jarvis into martin? I don''t see how you can drop martin at this moment as he is proving he can score at this level and I dont think I have ever seen jarvis run about for a whole game.  Maybe jarvis has finally realised he has got to fight hard if he wants to play for Norwich and the loan spell may be just kick up the back side he needed.  I personally think sending all the players out on load that grant has, can be nothing but a good thing.  It seems that only Ryan Jarvis is making any impact.
  12. [quote user="Kolin Kob"] can anyone give any updates on fisk, halliday, cave-brown and rossi jarvis? Last I heard none of them had set their teams on fire exactly. [/quote]   Saw Hartlepools goal on the champship on Sunday Halliday got totally outstrengthed, and outpaced turned like a tug boat.  Rossi Jarvis didnt play.  Halliday got a 5 mark in 2 sunday papers!!
  13. I have been impressed with Chris Martin for some time now, I have always thought he had great potential.  I am just wondering if it has helped him somehow not being in the limelight like Jarvis x 2, Spillane etc. so much was made of these boys from such an early age?  Chris has just worked his way through the youth, reserves pretty much unnoticed although always consistant.  There has been no "hype" about him playing international football although I am sure he would be good enough for England U18''s and Scotland U18s but possibly this has been good for him.   
  14. [quote user="jas the barclay king"] it would also be remarkable.. considering the Transfer Window has closed and he cant sign for them!  jas :) [/quote] Dont forget Chris Martin is on a 2 year scholarship until the end of June he is not on a professional contract!!!! They may offer him one, but doesn''t mean he has to accept it.  It would in a way serve Norwich right, as they should have offered him one, not kept him on is £50.00 per week scholarship when they recognised his potential.  Don''t forget he is the same age as Michael Spillane and that must pee you off a bit when he can see what he is earning.
  15. [quote user="Alex Harvey-Jones"]I don''t understand why Halliday hasn''t had more chances at Norwich. We''re short of cover at centre back and he''s always impressed me for the reserves and when he made his debut in the cup!![/quote]   Impressed in the cup his debut lasted about 3 mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The reason imo he has not had many chances at Norwich is quite simply defo not good enough.
  16. Matthew Halliday has been sub twice for Torquay, so hes not gaining much experience there.  At least looks as thou Rossi may be a bit of footie. 
  17. [quote user="Lincoln Canary"] I don''t know whether this was posted on the Pinkun at all, but I saw on Teletext the other day that Rossi Jarvis has been included in the England U19 squad to play Poland tonight. With three caps to his name already, it''s encouraging that somebody at a senior level reckons he has ability and potential. The FA''s website says the folowing if him... "A versatile and composed defender, Rossi has got to grips with senior action at Norwich this season. He was an important figure in England''s strong performance against Spain in Austria." Bit of a lie about the senior action at Norwich, mind you. ;-) [/quote] Maybe that where Norwich go wrong they always seem to mention him as a midfielder!!! too slow to be a defender at this level imo
  18. Norwich City I DO NOT BELIEVE  charge for training kit/track suits  when a child becomes a member of the academy, but I believe this about 9-10 years old.  I known that if a child is coached by F.I.T.C in the P.DC, they do pay for training kit.  I personally think it would be quite small minded to take a child to Ipswich because of these payments bearing in mind the travel costs/time. I don''t know about Ipswich at this age, but I think FITC do a great job with the youngsters pre academy.   I would on the other hand say that Ipswich do seem to give their youngsters a better chance.
  19. I cant believe how few people even have Ryan Jarvis on the bench.  Has he really dropped down the pecking order that much from the lad who was going to be a big star!!!
  20. There is a Norfolk cup, don''t know why Norwich dont enter.  Ipswich enter the Suffolk Senior Cup!!
  21. Not on a pro YET, still on a scholarship, the 2nd year scholars are norally told feb, march time if they are going to be kept on or not, so maybe this will be announced then.  You do not need to be on a professional contract to play in the Championship. 
  22. Too lightweight to be a centre half !!! your having one defo not too lightweight.  Will obviously fill out more but just look how long flem played centre half he was a beast wasn''t he???
  23. [quote user="GJP"]It''s no real surprise... our academy products are fairly poor. The only one at the moment who looks like having a chance of making it is Joe Lewis. The club make a lot of the players out to be something they''re not. Some people don''t appreciate the massive leap in quality between being a decent youth player and maybe playing for one of the mickey mouse international ranks (eg U19 or U20 as opposed to U21) and being a fully professional senior footballer.[/quote] Must agree with you here, I think the mickey mouse interenational scene is emphasised with Rossi Jarvis being called up for the England U19s when he has hardly played this season, it appears that once you are in the "loop" you do not have to do anything playing wise to stay in it.  I think he will be better off at Torquay learning his trade
