  1. He isn''t slow, is our best player, and yes losing him would be bad. The stick that he gets is ridiculous, he is an attacking player who was expected to pick up the ball on the edge of his own box and travel with it up the pitch because we weren''t capable under Hughton of stringing more than three passes together. Now he gets called "slow" for being the only player with the ability and balls to get on the ball and try to make something happen. Not sure what people expect from a winger but if we could give him the ball in the final third instead of our just outside our own box he may prove to be much more effective, thought about that? Huckerby would have looked rubbish in a Hughton team spending most of the game in his own half. They say you don''t know what you have got until it has gone. All I can say is that it doesn''t surprise me that Snodgrass wants to go - he is under appreciated by a huge section of our own fans, and yet highly rated by the fans of other clubs, so who would blame him for wanting out. I will miss him.
  2. If anybody ever needed evidence that the Pink Un is not representative of Norwich fans then this thread is it. An outsider reading this would conclude that Snodgrass is not rated or respected by Norwich fans, if they did not know that he actually won our Player of the Season award about 6 weeks ago, and came second the year before that. Clearly there are a number of Norwich fans who believed that he was our best player last season, and I am one of them. If we have aspirations of returning to the Premier League then selling your best player is not the way to go about it.
  3. Google shows people meeting Howard Kendell in Magaluf in 2012, 2009, and 2005. So I believe this story, Howard Kendell obviously loves Magaluf.
  4. Yes so getting rid of a player with 14 assists in this league in one season, the second highest in the league, isn''t a bright idea then is it?
  5. Yellowbeagle.... 13 goals and 14 assists in the 2011/12 season! Second highest number of assists in the league. Hoolahan in our Championship season scored 10 goals and 9 assists. Snodgrass either scored or assisted 27 of Leeds 65 goals that season. I''d seriously struggle to believe that any of our other wide players could have that much of an impact. Snodgrass was our most effective attacking player last season, and the season before that, Leeds most effective the year before that (goals + assists). If you think that taking Snodgrass out of our team would mean other players stepping up and providing the goals then I respect your opinion, but I see Elliott Bennett who doesn''t score goals, Nathan Redmond who has terrible decision making, Murphy who is still a kid, Pilkington who can''t be bothered anymore, and Snodgrass who the stats show year after year to produce the goods over the course of a season.
  6. Snodgrass would tear this division apart and we would be stupid to sell him. He slowed down our counter attacks in the Premier League, but in the Championship under Adams we aren''t going to be playing 11 men behind the ball for 80 minutes a game are we. We should do everything in our power to retain his services for this season.
  7. Of course there were seats not taken up everywhere.... 22000 season ticket holders get first choice from about 25500 home area seats, and the 3500 left become casual tickets for the season. So there will always be a minimum of somewhere 3500 seats for movers and shakers to choose from!
  8. Not sure if we are on the same page JonnyH. He is a 29 year old millionaire who doesn''t need to work another day in his life if he doesn''t want to, who can do whatever he wants whenever he wants from now until the day that he dies. And you think he should have quit football at 22, gone travelling for a year and then had to work a 9-5 until he was 67 like most normal people? How many 29 year olds own bars and restaurants, he has it made and will ''live'' more than most of us* * if his gambling addiction didn''t take his fortune.
  9. He''s 29 a bit early to say that he has wasted his life! He has only been an adult for 11 years and has 38 years left to reach retirement age, his life is only just beginning?
  10. If he wants to go then sell him.If he wants to stay then keep him.What we don''t want is to be in the top 3 or 4 in January and having him throw another hissy fit, so perhaps we should just sell him either way. In fact, just sell him, what he did in January was unforgivable, he went missing during a relegation battle in the middle of the season. Why should we even want him here? Flog him and buy Kris Commons.
  11. Delfounso is a bit rubbish. There was a little lad who was tipped to the very top as a young un at Leeds, went to Chelsea who had to pay £5m at a tribunal for his signature. Was a revelation for England youth teams and they said he would go on to play for England, next Paul Scholes they called him.He is 24 now and playing for Harrogate Town in the Conference North.  Michael Woods if you want to check him out. Delfounso is just another one of those kids who were tipped for greatness who end up playing in the lower leagues.
  12. If you mean the community sports foundation, they also wore Macron for the 2013/14 season. The csf is a registered charity and so seperate to the football club, they have their own trustees.
  13. Premier League was above him, but did the job as a squad player for us last time out in the Championship, could be a very handy player for us again if we can get him firing? Even last season I think we could have done with his pace with some balls over the top?
  14. That said, you wouldn''t want to pay much more than a couple of million for a player who has done their cruciates twice in the same knee. I think he is a better version of Simeon Jackson in this league though.
  15. Bit harsh Chicken because he did his cruciates twice at Sunderland, out for 6 months and then came back too early and out for a year. Now been injury free for 18 months at Cardiff and scored more Premier League goals than any of our strikers last season.
  16. If Campbell leaves Cardiff will still have: Kenwyne Jones Joe Mason Nicky Maynard Jo Inge Berget Javi Guerra Etien Velikonja Federico Macheda Adam Le Fondre What kind of Championship club has 8 strikers on the books, 9 if we include Campbell who could still refuse to leave, no wonder Grabban didn''t fancy it. I guess a few of those will be moved on (three have been signed this summer though). I''ve never really had the sense that Solskjear has a clue what he is doing, I can remember when the bookies thought he was coming here. Lucky escape. I wonder whether they fancy letting us have Jones, we could do with a big man and he would be a beast in this division.
  17. Scored 9 goals for them last season, and 7 in 12 the year before during their promotion run in. Leicester are to offer £1m which will trigger a release clause. Would be a tough job convincing him to come here over Leicester (funny how quickly things change in football), but that is a bargain so worth a try?
  18. Every team in the Premier League has a top class goalkeeper, and every goal scored requires the striker to get the ball past them. I can remember one RVW save being called "world class", when in fact it was a goalkeeper making a pretty routine save look extra acrobatic. The reality was the ball was well within the keepers range.
  19. How many of the 75 are security guards / bodyguards? They are in Brazil, where kidnappings happen. Hoddle took us to France, a very safe country. I don''t believe the Mail numbers because there will be a lot of security out there as part of the team.
  20. Hooper got a few more good chances last season. But he scored 7 times more goals. There is no way on earth that Hooper got 7 times more chances, 50% more perhaps. Van Wolfswinkel really should have finished last season with 3 or 4 goals from his 25 appearances, if he had managed that we could have perhaps put all the blame on Hughton''s tactics. Even Elmander outscored him. Didn''t show enough to justify keeping at the club on big wages, let him go for whatever we can get for him. Grabban has a three year deal with one year option, is the future now.
  21. John Ruddy @Johnruddy86 · 6h Good to see us making strides to get straight back up, welcome to the club @grabbs22 #goals
  22. I would be happy enough if this is RVWs replacement, but less happy if he is Hooper''s.
