Nigel Worthless 0 Posted July 18, 2006 Is it just me or is Nigel Worthless just letting opportunity after opportunity pass by!! I can only assume he hasn''t noticed that West Brom are willing to let Jason Koumas go for 1.5 million!! That is an absolute bargain for a quality attacking midfielder who was one of the top scorers in the division!!!!Another great player to get would be Chris Sutton. He really wants to come back to Norwich and would even be prepared to take a huge wage cut or play on a "pay as you pay" basis!! Could you imagine Sutton and earnshaw up front!!! Wake up Nigel!!

Mook 0 Posted July 18, 2006 And you''re 100% certain we have £1.5m and a further £1m in wages, plus the £0.5m wages for Sutton for half a season?That''s £3m for one a half players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blahblahblah 2 Posted July 18, 2006 Koumas has been described by various sources to be talented, but lazy.I can just see the Outers in their droves, screaming "We blew the transfer budget on one lazy player".But it may as well be about that as anything else. Because it will be anything else.Is Sutton still alive ? He must be in his 40s by now, surely ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wake up Nigel!![/quote]According to both West Brom and Cardiff the price for Koumas is £2m.In regards to Koumas, I thought he had made it pretty clear that he is desperate to sign for Cardiff and move back to Wales. Has it ever crossed your mind he might not fancy playing for City or moving to Norfolk? I have just checked and apparently Norwich is still not in Wales.

Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 18, 2006 Koumas is a talented player, no doubt, but if he was that good, don''t you think he''d be playing for a Premiership side on a regular basis by now, rather than shipped out on loan at every opportunity? The fact is that he''s a top Championship/bottom Prem player with a bad attitude and, quite frankly, £2m is too much to pay for him.We sold a talented but lazy player last summer for the same price, yet now we''re calling to sign someone with the same problem and for the same price?

He didn''t really feature in the starting 11 until after we went top of the league. For over half the season Mulryne kept him out of the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lack of ambition is that? So let me just make sure I understand you here: any player over 30 is too old and shows a clear lack of building for the future and ambition for the club. But if we don''t sign a particular player over 30 that you rate, that also shows a lack of ambition. So in short, any move you don''t approve of is unambitious, whereas the ones you suggest are all ambitious. Were you a fan of Rivers? Because Koumas sounds not dissimilar to me, only 4 times the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]shows your complete lack of football knowledge then...... WORTHY OUT[/quote]To be honest Paul when people talk about Koumas a few things spring to my mind as to why we should or should not sign;1) He is one of the best players in this league and easily good enough for the Premier League based soley upon talent.2) 13 goals and 10 assists last season is good by any standards.3) He has a bad attitude and he is putting his parts on at West Brom trying to force the club to sell him.4) I would give him and Worthy about 2 hours after signing before they fell out with each other and he was dropped.5) He clearly has his heart set on a move to Cardiff and it''s not known if he would be interested to anywhere else.6) He did nothing against us at Ninian Park last year and to be fair it was not hard to look good against our midfield last year was it?
