General Melchett 0 Posted January 8, 2006 ...a good bit of business IMO and no coincidence that results have picked up while he''s been in the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macdougalls perm 0 Posted January 9, 2006 If this is true I think its really good news. We seem to be much more capable of keeping the ball on the ground when he is playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted January 9, 2006 So we will have 6 central midfielders at the club.Andy Hughes Yousseff Safri Dickson Etuhu Jason Jarrett Carl Robinson Rossi Jarvis I must admit he will be a good signing - he has promotion experience, even if he would be useless should we actually get promoted.

0peteddMMyyyy0Falseen-USTrue 0 Posted January 9, 2006 Out for next 2 months if Dickson and Safri fit will he be first choice? £300k could be spent better elsewhere methinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted January 9, 2006 Sorry to disagree, but although the price may be reasonable we do not need "run of the mill" players. We need one or two outstanding players to make up for the dross bought during the summer.I have seen him play only once, - at Bramall Lane. I''m not sure "see" is the right word. Apart from the excellent header to pu tMcVeigh clear for the first goal I didn''t notice Robinson at all. He was anonymous.It now seems that we are assembling a team of "bargain buys", with a ceiling of £half million. This can only mean either that money is scarce (and Ashton really is not going) after the wasted money over the summer, or we are trying to plug gaps as cheaply as possible. It''s hardly team-building, given his age, and it does look short-termism. Why are Sunderland, faced with near certain relegation, not wanting to hang on to him?

Gary 0 Posted January 9, 2006 In my opinion he is better than what we have got but only good enough to do a job in this league. Seems like we are pannick buying players for short term rather than looking at the long term picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted January 9, 2006 if we arent getting him for free i feel it is probably money wasted - the thing is though he would get in the team above Etuhu on current performances. He keeps the ball on the floor and although he is as anonymous as Etuhu, we seem to play well with him in the side.save money on both and we could sign idiakiz. [:(] to much class for worthy however Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruddy Good 0 Posted January 9, 2006 I agree with Salopian here. We do need get some talent at the club not just the same old mediocre Championship players.Now regarding the money Worthy has spent, his summer buys were appalling with the money he got. That has already been established by the people on here. I honestly can''t see why Worthy is bringing in all these average players to ''plug gaps'' (as Salopian put it) when he can start the youth at this club (Spillane, Rossi Jarvis, Cave-Brown) match in, match out. This will give them first team experience and surely this will be team building for the future Norwich side. No money will be spent and no flotsam and jetsam will be floating around the club. We need talent not junk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syteanric 1 Posted January 9, 2006 To quote Munby "Nigels budget for the season was commited with the signing of Dixon Etuhu"so we wont be "pusing the boat out" to get robinson then? I dont rate him to be honest.... jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
