Northern Canary 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Now that Ashton has gone, and we have been widely linked with a move for Jerome, how likely do you think it is that we will buy him before the end of the window?He would be a good replacement and still leave money for the rest of the team to be rebuilt in the summer for a promotion push next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky green trainers 0 Posted January 22, 2006 not sure jerome is the answer northern. 3m plus is a ton of money a young player. besides, he''s a pacy striker who runs onto through balls and not a target man isn''t he? he won''t fit easily into worthy''s style of play, unless playing off a target man like thorne.

Cheeky Monkey 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Highly unlikely I reckon because I don''t think decent forward looking footballers will want to play under Nigel Worthington. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevie 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Well knowing what city''s prudence with prudence concept, and what Worthington is like, I''m sure we''ll sign 2 central midfielders![*-)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
We need a Manager 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Why would Jerome join a no ambition side like Norwich , Cardiff are on the verge of the play offs and have signed better players than us , it would be a backward step for the lad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Rascal 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Jerome would be a good signing. Using the 5 million transfer money freed up from Dean Ashton''s sale we could also buy Koumas from WBA. If the board gives Worthy the money... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oso Butch 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Agreed, Premier1. The problem for the club now is1. who have we got (apart from Hucks) to entice other players into thinking it''s worth coming here (Green''s sure to be off soon, and WLY in the summer...)? and2. who would believe that we have any interest or capability in being a premiership side? Let''s start now at the top - with a complete clear-out of the stables from Worthless downwards. It''s not just the fans who need to be persuaded we''re serious - it''s would-be transfers-in too, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Canary 0 Posted January 22, 2006 I think the fee is actually 2 million and add ons going up to 3.5. Those are probably if we get promoted, which we wont. So its more likely to be around 2 million Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
We need a Manager 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Northern , Sam Hamam said it would take £3.5 million to get him , he would not sell him to a Championship club so its very unlikely he will be coming here .All we are going to attract now is young players from the lower leagues or old over the hill jouneymen . The Premiership high life has come to an end its back to the good old mid table mediocrity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
