Carrow89 0 Posted December 17, 2003 The balancing act is a little further along the rope now, though I welcome the recognition of who will bear the cost of the difference between the Man City contract and the possible Norwich contract.What Huckerby''s agent is weighing up is what negoitiating position will he be in in 18 months time.Joining us on a three year contract now will mean that in 18 months time he will have still have 18 month''s to go on our contract whereas it may well be that sitting out in the stiffs at Man City means no one is going to offer him much if anything. More so if the wage levels are continuing downward, he''s two years older and could have picked up an injury in between.Man City want him off their books as much as we want him here.Who blinks first.

Mook 0 Posted December 18, 2003 Check out Kevin Davies at Bolton. He was up at Blackburn being paid by the truckload, but he wanted to play football in a place he was happy - so he went back to Saints for less money but a bit of happiness. However, I would take the money. £1 million is a LOT of money to lose! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrow89 0 Posted December 18, 2003 " I hear what you say and dont disagree with you-but I did ask what would YOU do? Its difficult to be honest isn''t it "Nope, always said the money would decide - he''ll take. Just depends who ultimately pays him the most.That''s the world we live in.Football might be the chance for most of us to escape the daily grind but for the players it is the daily grind so lets be honest and accept he''s entitled to earn as much as he can where he can.

HERALDO 0 Posted December 18, 2003 Master GreenGlad to know there are realists out there-pity many other supporters still live in a permanent dream world-Hey but whats wrong in dreaming sometimes. I am resolved to DH not coming and hope Crouch can be afforded. Did you see him last night; brought on as sub. had the ball played to him about five times and beat the Chelsea defender in the air everytime (unfortunately for us) as O''Leary must have been impressed.
