USAcanary 0 Posted July 12, 2006 I believe that the club was hoping to get as much as 2 million for Green to boost the transfer budget.We have wasted so much money on loan players and journeyman players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipster 0 Posted July 12, 2006 this does bring up just how bad our manager is,perhaps the naf signings he has made is as much down to the little choice he has ,as just about all his targets are out of his price range,and i dont mean transfer,it has to be wage demands as much as anything else,worthy has been trying to get a target man and a winger for quite a while so perhaps he feels a cheap alternative is no alternative and he would be better served giving his youngsters a crack,for a couple of these kids its make or break time, jarvis snr and hendo if they fail to break this year have to be close to the door with other kids comming through ,so it might be best to have a real look at both of them and give them a 10 game run and if they have not shown enough by then that has to be there lot,mind you its a huge risk the club would be taking as if this does fail, then seasons over for another year,and just how long are we going to get sell out crowds when we are not even close to the play offs?it is interesting that worthy points out the ashton deal and how we may well have stayed up if the board had shown faith and a bit of guts before the start of the season rather than when it was almost too late Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 12, 2006 It is looking more and more like this is the case! As has been said, this is a shocking way to run a football club! Sure, we all expected Greeno to be off this summer, before the injury, but the Board should be running the club with the expectation of keeping our best players, not selling them on to fund other transfers! Slowly but surely, the Chase era is returning... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saint Canary 0 Posted July 12, 2006 No offence people but other than Chelsea, Real Madrid etc who''s transfer budget is not by affected by player sales?We have a budget for transfers, even if it''s not as much as Worthington wants. Naturally if a player is sold then Nigel will get more money to spend and this is no different to any other club. We have a budget so it is not dependant on player sales but no doubt it would increase that budget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
komakino 275 Posted July 12, 2006 No tears for me when Green leaves - whatever the fee. He doesn''t want to play for Norwich City anymore, so the quicker he moves on the better.Maybe Wigan will pay over the odds for him? They''re good at that, though Green is only worth £2M in Monopoly money. Unlike 3 years ago... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
