The Great Mass Debater 1,090 Posted September 7, 2020 Can anyone tell me why Jamal wanted to leave? Im not talking this summer, Im talking about the rumours that he wanted out since about mid-season. Wanting Premier League football and bigger club is self-explanatory, but had we stayed up, I think a number of our players would be happy staying, yet Lewis I feel would have gone anyway. Lewis was Farke's first real protege so its not that Farke didnt rate him. Ever since Byram displaced him (because of injury?) and he had to fight for his place he has seemed to have wanted out. Can anyone say why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And out of the class of 2018, he appeared to get the most stick if posts on here are anything to judge by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All he has to do is post something on twitter and he’ll get a tonne of grief. Tbh I don’t recall Lewis ever being given stick on here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 7, 2020 I suspect their agents were telling them of interest from top 6 clubs and elite European sides all the while we were bottom of the league and looking like dropping which we ultimately did. I feel like Godfrey especially may have scuppered his chance of a move to one of these clubs with his poor form since then, hopefully we can get him going again with a quality player like Gibson next to him/challenging him. If we keep Emi and Aarons I'll be delighted! As for Cantwell, it'll be interesting to see how well he does in the championship this time round as he hardly excelled before but has clearly improved massively over the last year. If he does go, I probably won't miss him as much as the others though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGoogler 324 Posted September 8, 2020 Perhaps it's just me (embarrassingly) but I always view leaving players in one of four categories. 1. The players I can't wait to get out of the club 2. The players who I think have been good servants but hardly club legends. 3. Players who have given their all for the club. Would buy a pint. 4. Club legends. When they leave it's like losing an arm (just kidding 😂). I think Jamal probably fits in no.2. Have never really felt he's cared that much about the club. Perhaps harsh, but I've always felt some players give over a feeling they love being here. Jamal has never been one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps harsh, but I've always felt some players give over a feeling they love being here. Jamal has never been one of them. Most players of any team don't really care about the club, though the can change towards the end of a players career. Footballers are mercenaries who have a shelf life and will go where the money is. There are probably many Norwich players who would go elsewhere if they could get a much better deal. Ditto any other club. The days of players running a pub or a newsagent in the area after they retire have long gone. I ignore pretty much anything a player says, because most of the time they talk in cliches and/or complete moronic rubbish. Lewis seems a decent guy who wants to get as much out of his career as he can. Staying here would have served him no purpose, so it will be interesting to see how he gets on.
