"Number one, he hates bright lights. You gotta keep him out of the sunlight.... Sunlight will kill him." "Number two, keep him away from water. Don't give him any water to drink, and Whatever you do, don't give him a bath. If he asks to look at the Clyde tell him 'No!' and give him some crayons." "And the most important thing... ...don't EVER let him go on social media after midnight". he has also a 20k watch that does not keep time it is 35mins slow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PockthorpePete 331 Posted January 17, 2023 Not sure if that is accurate. Rangers earned around £80m in 21/22. I can't think many in the Championship can match that, even with parachute payments. The question is did he refuse to sign another contract, or did we decide to wash our hands of him ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,300 Posted January 17, 2023 The problem I have with this is if we have a fee, we’re probably waiting on his departure to bring any potential new signing in, free up wages and fee could be used. The longer it goes on the more we’re hindered. As above I can see Cantwell staying as I doubt this type of thing gives any potential team interested confidence in his attitudes.

The bit about Cantwell not being happy with the position/role he would be asked to play might be the reason for his fall out with City'Beggars can't be choosers' rather springs to mind. What we can be certain of thoush, is he won't land a contract anywhere near what he is now seeing running out.And the thought is that he is not sat watching clubs upping the biiding, but his agent scrabbling around trying to find something near to what he may well have told Cantwell he would easily get.

You would think a player 24 looking for a club wanting to get away from Norwich would just want to play anywhere in midfield would do if you are in the first team you do not tell the manager where you want to play you just get on with it I bet Josh didn’t want to play out wide but he got on with it and gave it 100% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,138 Posted January 17, 2023 There are plenty of better players than him (as of 2023) who would love to have the chance to play for a club like Norwich or Rangers regardless of his role in the team. His current level isn't good enough for a top Championship team or a giant club like Rangers even if they do play in a poor league. Someone seriously needs to have a word with him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was probably the moment the penny dropped for Stringer that he might be decent up top… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look how that ended Todd could sign for anyone , agree to play LM then then manager wants to play him somewhere else what is he going to do ? Not play because he is moved to AM like another poster said most players would be happy just to be in 1st team and playing as for Sutton wonder how far he would of went as a CB ?
