Thought Oliveira did ok. Murphy and Maddison were worse. Maddison was cr@p actually.
-
Hang on, are we saying there is talk of Sanchez leaving Arsenal? They''ve kept that quiet.
-
Yup. Had Grant Holt turned in that performance last night there wouldn''t have been any complaints. He worked hard, got stuck in and caused them some problems. A couple of times he was selfish and maybe didn''t take the right option but there were a couple of others guilty of that too.
-
I thought he played well. Put the penalty at a nice height for the ''keeper but he was tired and he''s not in goal-scoring form so I wasn''t surprised.
-
Arsenal was slightly different because we took the lead and then lost it to two late goals. This time we fought back from a goal down and took them all the way. It''s a different feeling.
-
Lincoln - it wasn''t for nothing because the lads will take loads from that. They might be knackered but they will take confidence and heart from pushing them all the way. Individually and as a team. Worth it.
-
Bit of a win-win for the club. If there is actual serious interest for Maddison then they can sell him for a lot of money. But if not they can use all this speculation to say "There was strong intetest but we managed to keep this very popular young player at NCFC". Or similar about letting other players go so they can keep the ones they want.
-
Sometimes players just need to find the right club. When he was at Barnsley he showed he had a bit about him.

If you don''t rate Tettey I don''t rate you.

Maddison to be sold before window shuts
GJP replied to Keith Scott's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I think Maddison is a very good player. But I think when people say things like they have to remind themselves about how young he is is is a bit naff. He''s already 21. How many of the best players in the world are unheard of at 21? Not that he is one of the best players in the world. But by that age most players have proven themselves. -
Cos Farke has said he''s not in the plans for tomorrow.
-
I''m not saying it about this lad in particular but clearly if you could sign a player who you believed could give you significant benefit in the short term it''s still worth looking at.
-
I didn''t boo but I expected it to happen and don''t blame people that joined in. It''s been a poor season so far and the club has pretty much been on a downward slide since quite early into AN''s Prem campaign. This is now the poorest side we''ve had since the relegation to League 1 days. I think we''ve seen over the years that the board let things coast until the crowd pressure them. I don''t think it hurts to remind the players and/or the people that run the club that they need to be doing better.

Out of those 4 you could only maybe see Southampton. Never getting near the Arsenal or Spurs sides.
-
Bingo.
-
Remember when Will Hughes was always being linked with Liverpool but has now ended up at Watford for less than £10m? Or when Josh McEachran was going on to great things but is now at Brentford. You could look at Dele going from MKD to Spurs but Dele is big, strong and quick.
-
Look at Lewis Cook at Bournemouth. A very good player, slightly younger than Maddison but much more successful in the England youth ranks - captain of the U20 World Cup winning side. But you''re not really seeing talk of a top 6 club paying huge money for him.
-
If he was a striker with lightning pace and about 20 league goals this season then you might get £25m from someone. Even if he was amazing (which he isn''t) people will know we need the money and will take much less than £25m and probably much less than £20m.
-
He is good enough for this league. But what people need to bear in mind is that you need a squad of players. And, amazingly, the ones that aren''t in the first 11 may not be as good as the ones in the first 11. He''s a good passer and he tries to keep the ball for the team. Norwich have had worse players than him in the past and I think there''s every chance they''ll have worse than him in the future.
-
MOTM between him and Murphy.
-
Could and should have won all 3. I don''t like the way people are so easy to accept closer to mediocrity.
-
Yes, he is one of the better ones. Mark Walton is class when he''s on and Rivvo is enjoyable. There are two or three others who offer little insight.

Parma’s Tactics Masterclass 18
GJP replied to Parma Ham's gone mouldy's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
When he''s signing players like Husband, Watkins and Franke it''s no wonder he says he needs a few windows. -
Though you do have options to create for. DF went with a team that was clearly not going to hurt anyone.
-
Swings and roundabouts. If they can pay a loan fee then they could pay a higher % of wages.
