3pmkickoff 0 Posted April 10, 2006 1 - A day will not go by without someone posting every player available on a bosman 2 - These posts will probably end with the words ''any thoughts?''3 - There will be frequent posts about why we haven''t signed anybody, expiry date will be 01/07/064 - July 1st will see the board erupt with activity as we announce a trio of signings with a maximum of £250k spent. At least two will be bosmans and they''re probably no highly rated at their previous clubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 183 Posted April 10, 2006 Variarion on the above...At the end of May/beginning of June, several CCC rival clubs will make some decent looking signings.Someone will say "why aren''t we in for them?"June will come and go and still no-one will arriver at Carrow Road-the club will explain this away as follows "...the World Cup...", "...the manager is on holiday..." and "...we are making enquiries all the time..."July will come and go, still no signings, the clubs next quote will be "...we have several irons in the fire...", whilst Worthington will add "...we have to make sure that they want to play for Norwich City football club..."A week or so into August we will sign a reserve player from Charlton/West Brom/Sunderland/Leicester or similar who no-one has linked us with and who has not been the subject of interest of any other club, Worthington will announce himself "delighted" at the deal, add that "we''ve been after him for a while" but would "not rule out any more signings"-adding, finally, that the new player "offers versatility...vital when you have a small squad...effort, energy..."

Yellow Rages 0 Posted April 10, 2006 1) And when they do sign, somebody on the message board will complain that they weren''t informed about it before hand personally in blood. They will complain that the club are being secretive and coning the fans.2) Somebody will also complain about the signings because they feel that 16 year old youth player ''Junior McSmall'' should have been given his chance now he has just got his GCSE results.3) If we spend lots of money somebody will complain that we have squandered the Ashton and parachute money.4) If we don''t spend a great deal somebody will complain that we lack ambition.5) CJF will boldly state that Worthy shouldn''t be picking player ''X''6) CJF, a couple of pre season friendlies later, will state that he doesn''t understand why the manager doesn''t pick player ''X''7) Robert Green will be sold and one poster whilst crying into their season ticket will state that Green was disloyal and a Judas. They will also state that he wasn''t any good anyway.8) One poster, probably the same one as above will spend the entire season comparing his performances for his new club with those for Norwich and with those of our new keeper. When Green performs well, it will be our clubs fault for not getting the best out of him and when he performs poorly it will be because he''s rubbish and we should have got rid of him long ago. Naturally blaming the club for that blunder.9) One player will miss a training session and when fined by the club, one poster will claim that the manager is constantly slagging him off.10) Dicky will continue his ''jab and run'' tactics much to my amusement and to the frustration of all who hunt him down.11) The standard of posts on the message board will remain as much a shambles as the team.

Yellow Rages 0 Posted April 10, 2006 If we had, then you would see the same number of threads asking why we signed him shortly after if he played badly.Most of which from the same people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Infamy, Infamy 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Great post YR.Also there will be a clamour for City to sign a quality player (e.g. Etuhu) who is interesting a premiership club, and other top CC clubs. When we dont sign him we will be shortsighted. When he (e.g Etuhu) becomes available and signs in January, he will be judged on 3 and a half games, derided as a useless, proof that the scouting system does not work and another example of Worthington wasting "our" money.[^o)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
