Huddy 0 Posted April 15, 2006 So Hucks has rejected 5 premier league clubs to stay with us. It''s great that our best player has so much loyalty, even though we were never going to go up and he has a manager who seemingly doesnt like his style of play. The worrying thing is that it seems Nigel accepted the offers, because huckerby said he "rejected 5 prem clubs" not that the bids were turned down which indicates that he talked to them. I believe we cannot cope without hucks at the moment, and we should tie him down on another contract because still has at least 2 years at his best.He also had a go at dean ashton saying that he clearly didnt want to be at the club for weeks, i think he was fine untill the transfer window and it seems they are unfairly blaming ashton for our league position.

Huddy 0 Posted April 15, 2006 Thats Magic. I had written my bit before Macdougalls piece had been moderated. It was posted another topic, but at least we havent got 2 topics on the same thing because of a 30 minute break in moderation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted April 15, 2006 Not entirely true - it could be that Hucks was told of the bids and reaffirmed that he did not want to move. The club may not have accepted the bids, but out of trust and loyalty told hucks the bids had come in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky green trainers 0 Posted April 15, 2006 agree mac, nice one roy of the rovers , lets hope hucks keeps his mazy runs a goin.i wonder how many offers from the prem worthy has turned down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macdougalls perm 0 Posted April 15, 2006 Yeah, that was a good trick! [:)] And, as you say, I think we should tie him down for another two years because, to be quite honest, City without Huckerby doesn''t even bear thinking about at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3pmkickoff 0 Posted April 15, 2006 Look at it from his persepective, he''s moved several times and it''s never worked out but he''s done well financially out of it. Why move again towards the end of your career when your family are settled and you''re appreciated by the supporters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hucks will try , but he can`t do it all on his own .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

london Canary 0 Posted April 15, 2006 There is no doubt that huckerby will go down in norwich history as an absolute LEGEND. i know there were many star players in our title winning season but i belive that without hucks we wouldn''t have won the league like we did. It''s a shame that our whole team dosen''t play with the same passion as him sometimes. True class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intenso 0 Posted April 15, 2006 Good man Hucks. It is nice to know old fashion loyality still exists and puts to shame a certain ''legend'' who always threatened to leave at contract time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mystic megson 0 Posted April 15, 2006 [quote user="Rudolph Hucker"]This nails it for me...POTS.[/quote] Rudolph Hucker, you''ve been suckered! Today''s piece in the paper should have been entitled "Vote for Meeee!" I''m a big Hucks fan too, and it gave me the best laugh in ages. Cheeky sod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted April 15, 2006 You clearly didn''t read my last piece on this theme Mystic when having previously championed WLY I said I was starting to tend towards Hucks and gave reasons for doing so. His performance and application today along with his going public in showing loyalty to the Club which he put on a pedestal against the current climate where I feel too many journeymen players don''t care has tipped me in his favour and I hope he gets the award.

CanaryNut 0 Posted April 15, 2006 He has my vote for Player Of The Year.He has shown more commitment than the others, his play is exciting (even if sometimes not everything comes off) and this season did not use his illness as an excuse in the first part of the season. In 2006 he has easily been our best player and in recent weeks his form has been tip top.A pity others do not follow his or Leon''s example on the field. He is worth the admission money any day....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
