Evil Monkey 52 Posted March 27, 2006 Was looking at an article on Flown The Nest (yes, I was cheating forthe Name That Team game, you got me!) and spotted an article about the99/00 season when we had 12 loan signings in, many of whom never evengot a game.Well, it got me thinking about this season''s signings in general...current first team players in green, bench warmers in orange. Draw yourown conclusions, I''m going for me dinner...Permanent Signings:Thorne - ReservesJarrett - On loan at PrestonEarnshaw - One butt-cheek on bench, one on pitchHughes - In side, rubbish.Colin - ReservesMLJ - InjuredLoan - Permanent Signings:Etuhu - BenchRobinson - Carefully avoiding putting the ball to any Norwich player in midfieldLoan:Davenport - Priced out of moveLisbie - Back to CharltonRehman - ReservesJohansson - BenchMarney - Played out of position, injured, back to Spuds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom NCFC 0 Posted March 27, 2006 I think I could net better signings than that! Either Worthy''s Scouts should be fired or Worthy himself, if not I''m looking forward to 06/07 signings of Nicky Forster, Paul Ince, Gary McAlister (Out of Retirement) and Dwight Yorke!

Alex Harvey-Jones 0 Posted March 28, 2006 Pretty depressing reading that!! How can Delia and the board defend that?? Of those signings I think the only two good enough are Johansson and Earnshaw! (possibly Rehmann but he seems to have fallen out with Worthless)I was a fan of Jarrett and don''t think we ever saw the best of him - guess we''ll never know as he also seems to have upset Worthy and has no way back! He probably coughed in training while Worthy was talking or something!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Mouldywart 0 Posted March 28, 2006 Gary McAlistair was quality. And he can probably still pass better than Hooze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EadiesRight Foot 0 Posted March 29, 2006 The one noticable thing is the scouting here. The standard of signings has been very mediocre, and also we have never signed anyone from overseas that was actually any good (apart from Ulf maybe?). Whilst some people come up with Raziaks, Idiakez, Doyle, Chimbonda, Benyoun, we end up with Jurgen flippin Colin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helsinki canary 240 Posted March 29, 2006 Pretty pathetic all round - just shows the team is a bunch of misfits at the moment and the manager and scouts are clueless. On the other comment further down - one of the best foreigners we have had here is Steeno - one of the best wing backs and crossers of the ball we have had at Carrow Road so there have been a few success stories over the years.....

chicken 0 Posted March 29, 2006 "Marney - Played out of position, injured, back to Spuds"I don''t think you will find he was! I was only talking to a Spurs fan last night about it actually because he was saying that Marney was playing right wing in the reserves again now. I was a bit gutted to hear that because he would have been great back here and giving us better width. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misery Guts 0 Posted March 29, 2006 "Paul Ince, Gary McAlister (Out of Retirement) and Dwight Yorke!" - TOM NCFCYeah mate and we could have Martin Peters and Duncan Forbes back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted March 29, 2006 Worthy doesnt leave "lovely" norfolk to look at these players himself.. so we get conned constantly!Surely he must be looking at the players himself BEFORE commiting to buy.. and i dont mean some ropey Video or watching "the championship"... Nigel should leave the family at home for one night.. go to another stadium.. in a far flung part of this fine green Land.. and WATCH the player himself.. not "monitor the situation"...How many other managers do u see at rival teams grounds watching players???? Dowie was at turf Moor Friday.. dfoes Worthy think eh goes there for the fun of it?Worthington = Idiot.jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
