The new Wolfswinkel

[he 0]

Steven Naismith had a promising first fifty minutes for Norwich, but after that he reminds of the Wolfswinkel signing. He is not good enough to play for the team at the expense of for example Wes Hoolahan.

[City 2nd 193]

Certainly not justifying the price tag!

[Rudolph Hucker 0]

He doesn''t want to be here. Should have been a loan or nothing.

[KoromaCrab 0]

perhaps Norwich should have instead signed him on loan until the end of the season, especially with Everton not seeming too keen at the time to let him go easily

[Dame to Blame 111]

He is slow ,miss places passes, and falls over if anyone breathes on him. He looks so unfit and can hardly last 60 mins. £8 million blown down the drain.

It''s sad for us, but it looks like Everton did some good business. There is no spark left in him. So far money thrown out of the window. Crazy!

Went off chuntering to himself! Really question his commitment, is he here just for his paycheck and appearance bonus?

Id rather have Grabben than Naysmith

[daly 556]

Was not a Grabban fan but Naismith looks even less interested

Another 8 million bench warmer we''ve wasted money on

Is Naismith saving himself for the Euros?

[Lessingham Canary 108]

NBS, is he working as a pundit then ?

[damn that Ralph Coates! 74]

he fell over every three minutes - were any of them actually fouls? Marriner didn''t give any and we lost possession every time

[Katie Borkins 1]

There was one moment today when Redmond put in a peach of a cross and Naismith managed to head it vertically like a defender instead of into (or even in the direction of) the goal.

Not sure he is RvW grade awful but certainly Sibierski level.

[quote user="julian hudson"][quote user="norfolkbroadslim"]Is Naismith saving himself for the Euros?[/quote]Scotland didn''t qualify.Again [:D][/quote][:D][Y]He''s so bad, you''d think he was. 

[Jim Smith 2,653]

He is absolutely useless and what''s worse is we have shunted aside a player who has excelled for us for nearly a decade in order to play Naismith who is not fit to lace his boots.

[OldRobert 38]

At least RvW wanted to be here, (to start with anyway), but as Rudolph Hucker said I don''t believe he wants to be here.

[Capt. Pants 5,152]

Simply appalling. If never plays for us again I won''t be disappointed. To think we spent all transfer window chasing this him. A tragic error of judgement on AN''s part.

[JF 694]

Offers nothing. The comparison to RVW seems a fair one

Yes, it was clearly his fault we lost today. Not Wisdom''s for a stupid tackle, or Bassong''s for being caught in possession for the 3 millionth time in his Norwich career, but Naismiths.

Or maybe it was because Redmond (who is absolutely crucified every week on here) didn''t start when by not playing he becomes our greatest threat (just like Lafferty).

Naismith hasn''t been played in his position since the Liverpool game, where funnily enough he was excellent.

The team played poorly today and were not helped by a bad referee. I even agree that the team selection was overly negative (again!) but I can''t abide individual players being vilified when anyone who has had anything to do with football knows how critical it is to look at the team as a whole.

And by the way - the crowd was also useless today. As soon as we start shouting at the ref it all goes to pot.

Saving himself for the Championship more like.

[king canary 8,944]

He''s such an odd player- he''ll have moments where he looks like he could be brilliant and then long patches where he looks like football is totally new to him.

Today he had one moment where he had the ball and played a genius pass on the turn that would have had Mbokani in if Kaboul hadn''t just got a toe to it. Then later on the ball broke to us 3 on 3 and he passed it straight to their keeper.

As someone else has noted he doesn''t look like he wants to be here. He is in the refs ear from minute one, pissing and moaning and looking like he''d much rather be on the bench. Very disappointing.

[YorkshirePudding 0]

He looks like he should have been in trainspotting - scottish, pale, looks undernourished.

But yeah he''s 5hite

[Syteanric 1]

A perennial sub at a mid table premiership side is a 1st team regular with us....

That says all it needs to

[Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,234]

Said the same thing myself during the game, should have been subbed at half time........

[Funny old game 0]

Not much point in looking at the £8 million in isolation. We sold Grabban for not much less and he was really shite. Transfer fees are inflated throughout due to Sky which, btw, I''ll be cancelling at the end of May as they''ve just put it up £5 per month to pay for the new deal (hence the conspiracy to keep the ''bigger'' clubs in the top flight. They''d get rid of Bournemouth and Watford as well if they could. May as well bring Blatter in to run the prem league and be done with it.

Was poor today. My main problem is hes keeping out a player in Hoolahan who at home has a tremendous record of providing goals and assists.
