jb 0 Posted December 17, 2003 Believe this is the player we should have waited for.Svensson feels like a poor man''s version to me.Why didn''t we not sign Mckenzie and Svensson and pay Hucks and Crouch what they wanted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mook 0 Posted December 17, 2003 Of course we wanted him, but I think the transfer laws are... - If David O''Leary buys a striker, it has to be AFTER January 1st.If we want to get PC on loan until the end of the season, we have to do it BEFORE dec 31st.So O''Leary won''t know if he needs Crouch or not until the loan deadline has closed - gutted!

Adam 0 Posted December 17, 2003 Thats coz Villa wanted in the millions for Crouch and he''s not worth that much in Norwich''s eyes. Plus his wages would put a big strain on the wage structure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snake Pit Rebel 0 Posted December 19, 2003 Just bad timing really..But and i mean but, if we were to make it to the promised land then i well may think that would signal the return of PC.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mook 0 Posted December 19, 2003 You guys are joking aren''t you?! Firstly, the dates didn''t add up - see my earlier posting. Secondly, McKenzie (300k) and Svensson (50k) plus wages = Crouch??? You''re having a laugh, Villa would not let him go for £350k! And his wages would be huge. He won''t be coming back, and we''ve done the right thing by buying Svensson.
