Erik the Viking

Duuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyy Leeds always have been & always will be!. The incident with someone "giving one" to the Don Revie statue with him being a total ar$e I felt was particulaly apt!.  To be fair though I did speak with one Leeds fan that was almost normal, but a good proportion of Leeds have not earnt that reputation for no reason have they?

Underwhelmed if this is the case, how much do we want this opportunity?. Feel there are better options out there for sure................

[quote user="Gingerpele"]Lets sign the Crawley striker, 25 goals so far this season.[/quote] And add another "average" striker to our wage bill, good one!

Two points lost for sure, highlights the fact that we need a front man who puts the ball in the net on a regula basis. Not all doom & gloom but if we had that player we could actually win this league....

[quote user="Gareth"]''Much needed'' is a bit of a stretch to be honest. Whilst another striker would be nice, claiming our entire season will go t*ts up if we don''t get one seems a bit unjustifued as of yet. [/quote] As i said "MUCH NEEDED!", Martin strugglig for goals as much as I love him/Jackson not scored since October/Wilbraham well what can I say. Never said it would go t#ts up but if we want promotion this could make the difference........

Just been thinking how much I feel we need the extra firepower of a front man before the transfer window shuts and what options are out there, we really have to make this big push to do it this year. Heres my thoughts on some viable/realistic options.... Martyn Waghorn (Leicester City) - Highly thought of at Sunderland before his move to the Crisp Bowl for £3m, performed well on loan at Leicester last season in the Championship but maybe now surplus to requirements under Svens revoloution? Freddie Sears (West Ham) - A bright prospect with undoubted ability & very much 100% player that has something to prove which is a hallmark of Lamberts signings?. Maybe they will let go on loan with a big signing today of Ba? Gio di Santos (Tottenham) - Ability in abundance despite his Scum connections, rarely features for Spurs but perhaps Lambert could be the man to reignite his career? Martin Paterson (Burnley) - Always been impressed with his workrate and has a good scoring record at this level. With Austin joining today may be worth a cheeky bid although would Burnley do business with us after the Lambert situ? Chedwyn (Sheff U) - Superb on loan for us and coming into form at Sheff U, worth a gamble for me even if we do have to push the boat out! Would be pleased with any of these but we really need a signing of this ilk, heres hoping........

Ruddy R. Martin    Ward   Barnett   Drury                       Crofts Lansbury                        Surman                      Wes   Holt                      C. Martin   Subs. Rudd/Whitbread/Lappin/Smith/Jackson/Fox/McNamee THE DREAM TEAM!!!, have been waiting to see this personel take the field for a few weeks now hopefully Ward/Surman/Lansbury are all fit and raring to go. Love the look of that side, makes me purrr!!!

Must admit I also had abit of a touch on ;0)

Best post of the day Andy by a garden mile amongst all the $hite that certain people have posted. Also highlights the fact until we gain significant investment into the club one way or another a club of our stature warrants these issues will persisit......... For gods sake a poxy club like Burnley poaching our best manager for many years,they will never be as big as Norwich City NEVER!

The fact of the matter is if we want to improve as a club we need 4 good striking options and Wilbrahams record suggests he is not that player, look at Hull for example who have just signed Aaron McLean from Peterborough who has bagged 14 goals this year compared to our new signings 3 (yes THREE!) plus also are on the verge of signing Matty Fryatt who is a proven championship striker from Leicester. Lets hope our two other signings are far superior in stature & quality to this one or perhaps that "little ole Norwich" still applies.... 

[quote user="ricardo"]If true then its hardly an inspired signing. If this is the time to "go for it" we need something a lot lot better than a 3rd division 31 year old. might as well chuck 100k in the bin. [/quote] Have to agree with Ricardo on this one, totally underwhelmed!. 3 goals in 12 games this season & why has he only played 12 times which is a concern, injuries or just plain shite?!? The BBC report also highlights what a poor scoring record he has got and if we ant to push onwards & upwards IMO something far better was required...... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/9327997.stm  

[quote user="Bury Yellow"]Absolutely right. A dirty filthy team with an appalling style. Their crowd, manager and team all deserve each other[/quote] Plus one of the biggest ratholes/uninteresting place of a city in the UK 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulfletcher/2010/12/coventry_v_norwich.html#280002 Link above, good article and also backs up what a fully deserved win it was for us today....

http://www.ccfc.co.uk/page/MatchReport/0,,10269~52252,00.html Now i never went to the game today but listened to the game on Radio Norfolk and the game I heard certainly never concurs with this report. Cov the most dangerous of the two sides/1500 in the crowd more  like 9000 (just under 2k from us)/and look at the stats who had most shots, corners etc. Twin that with the fact they should have ended up with 9 men at best & playing a piece of scum up front they really are pathetic & deluded club! LOSERS!          

Bad news to the undoubted ace in our pack!, hurry back Andrew we need you to crash this promotion party! Amzing how some people are listing him with MLJ as always injured, where do you get these FACTS from? because other than this season that is simply not the case.....

Good luck bro!, I know life is $hite at the mo but this is a real positive and I''m very proud of what you have achieved over the last few weeks but the big question is can you beat  my time of 1hr 52 mins?!. What you are doing for diabetes & cystic fibrosis sufferers is fantastic..... You deserve better times, but just remember what Jon Bon Jovi once sang "Keep the faith!" - crap song but good sentiments! Enjoy it......

[quote user="cityangel"]So does anyone have any idea what we would have got for that?[/quote] £2 - 4 million i reckon....

[quote user="shefcanary"] Statement says the sum received will reduce the bank loans.  No immediate freeing up cash for players therefore although it probably means that what remaiins in the purchase pot won''t be grabbed back to keep the banks happy. However the land sold is the car parks - can''t see how that will make some of the older fans happier about their match day experience unless plans for the multi-storey are still on the cards.  Tangy? [/quote] Surely though Shef they have to give Lambert a bit as this could be our best shot and deep down McNally/Lambert must know that?

http://www.canaries.co.uk/page/NewsDetails/0,,10355~2217827,00.html Land sold to Broadland Housing Association, your suspicions were right Tangy! Lets hope that frees up at least a few quid to bolster us in January for a push!

What the hell have you been dring today Captain, Castrol GTX?!?!

[quote user="Nexus_Canary"]Yeh... give Crofts the armband and risk him concentrating more on other peoples games than his own. Good plan. Maybe the pressure of having the armband is something that is actually bringing Holt''s game down ? Leadership is a funny old thing you know ! [/quote] You really are not playing with a full deck are you either that or you have been on a sabatical in Eastern Europe on a two week intensive research course into the benefits of Absinthe..........

[quote user="Nexus_Canary"][quote user="Gazza"] No debate to be had really, if you can truly not see this guy is not up to the job in hand I really cannot be bothered to list the reasons why  he should not be selected when it is there for one & all to see my friend! As regards Gazza lazy & overweight are you seriously comparing Grant to one of the greatest talents to come out of this country in the last 20 years, jog on! [/quote] Ok, as you are either stupid or lazy or illiterate or perhaps all 3 I will explain what I have already said. I will even dull it down for you as you seem to need help comprehending things. VS MILLWALL, Holt should play cos he is a lump. He will give more muscle to the team. So Holt and Martin over my personal choice of Martin and Jackson. Only becasuse Holt will add more fat and lardy ness to our squad. For the record I did not compare Holt to Gazza. I said it was IRONIC ( google it ) that you choose to give reasons for Holt''s drop in form and these were a couple of things Gazza also suffered from in his otherwise spotless career. [/quote] Stupid!, Grant Holt muscle?! from where I''m sitting it looks well and truly like lard!!, the only thing you got right is yes he is a LUMP a great LUMP OF TURD! As I said on another post over two weeks ago listed below and today just quantifys that even more- I think Holt is getting worse game by game!. No movement and even the lack of willingness to work is poor, twin that with his winning of virtually zero headers in two home games against struggling sides is simply not good enough!. The only time he seems to get any exercise is when his gob is in full motion with the constant ranting/moaning at the officials & other team mates! I also do not understand Lamberts infatuation with playing somebody that is currently out of his depth and in shoddy form to say the least!, his substitution of Jackson today was unbelievable because in the last 10 mins if anyone was going to score for us it was Simeon & his pace on the break..... Jackson/Martin to start all the way for me unless the "wide ass" can sort himself out ;0)
