Polite Petition for Peter Thorne to Leave in January

[Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0]

If you would like Peter Thorne to leave our club this January sign up here.

Initially I thought he was a good signing, he always scored goals at this level.  But his list of injuries gets longer week in week out.  There comes a time when a player patently does not want to be at the club or even is just plain not good enough.

I am sure he used to be a decent proffesional before taking his holiday in the ''Costa del Norwich''.  But its an easy life in Norfolk and when your getting paid for your holiday.  Maybe he is now bored of his holiday and actually wants to move somewhere he can get back to his job of playing football.

I have been as polite as I can be here so ill stop now before ruining it!!

How many times can we sign?

I''m in..........[Y]

[Carrowfortress 0]

I will be for that plus also let the allusive Mathieu Louis-Jean follow him.

[blacko 0]

I think it''s a real shame that we have never seen him fit and with a bit of match practice. He was clearly well thought of at Stoke, judging by the crowds reaction when he came on recently, si I think he should still be given a chance, He has, afterall, only been injured whilst training to do his job!

[jetstream 0]

He''ll only go somewhere which has equally good windsurfing facilities....

[Hartsons Gut 0]

Yes i want him gone.

[nolegs 0]

Who? does he play for us?[:$]

[Kolin Kob 0]

what a pathetic post. serves no purpose whatsoever.

i mean come on, a petition against one of your club''s injury-prone players?

sometimes i start to think that with the fans we have at this club, we don''t deserve to ever be in the premiership.

it barely deserves reply.

[tryingtofindmyfeet 0]

I can''t believe Thorne missed the reserve game last night because of a mouth abcess? Pussy. Get him out!

Oh, and, of course, MLJ also missed it because of a thigh strain or something like that.

Thats damn funny stuff Monkey, sums up my thoughts on these "Petition Posts" perfectly. Now I agree Peter Thorne is not a great player but do you really think this is going to get him sold and even if it did  do you think it wise we reduce the size of our squad even more.

[Syteanric 1]

shame it hasnt worked out for thorne. A good player for Cardiff and Stoke, perhaps more suited to their "Bruiser" approach than to the way we play football... if he is sold then good luck to him.. but we could do with keeping him until we get 1 or 2 more bodies in

jas :)

I hate to put any of our players down, but having seen him at the Southampton game, the guy couldn''t score in a brothel !

I accept he''s had injuries, but it''s just not happening for him.  His situation reminds me of ... damn, I''ve forgotten the chap''s name (that''s how much he played for us !), but we bought him from Wolves, made him captain, kept getting injuries and then we finally released him to Walsall a couple of years later having played only a handfull of games ...

Out comes the chap who thought Worthington was doing a good job.

 

Fact is Peter Thornes injuries remind me of the sort of illnesses people have at work when they just don''t wantto be there but do like picking up their wages.  How many of Thornes injuries occured during football and how many during his windsurfing??

[/quote]Neil Emblen, and you''re right that his situation is similar, along with MLJ.  In fact, how many of our players in recent years have been hampered by major injuries? Thorne, MLJ, Emblen, Notman, to name but a few from recent years.  Some teams get all the luck... most of ours is bad.

It would be soooo sad to see a player along side Dean Coney in the Legend status of beloved club, but yes please I really do think that its time for Peter to go. He has been a Thorne in our side(team) for to long now, milking good wages and doing nothing. Bet clubs will que up for him. Hope that Nigel Worthington is scouting for someone by now as he might just pick Peter Thorne up on his radar.

While we are at it could we start a petition for M.L.Jean to go as well......

Well Kolin Kob if we cannot petition against our injury prone players lets petition on his tremendous goal scoring record as a striker what is it two goals in two seasons. I''d hate to think how many thousands that is for each goal. Even against Tamworth I couldn''t see him scoring again.

[macdougalls perm 0]

Lol, E Monkey[:D][:D].

[Saint Canary 0]

Whilst I don''t agree with hounding any player out of the club I cannot agree with the sentiment that we have a small squad and so should retain Thorne.  I was pleased when we signed him but he has been woeful.

If and when he has been needed he has been either a) Injured or b) so poor he wished he had of been injured.  If we are going to put someone up front to play poorly we might as well give the youngsters a chance, they are a hell of a lot cheaper in wages for start.

lol they are both quality!!

I must admit when I originally was going to write this thread the title was going to be Petition for Peter Thorne to **** off.  But I thought better of it...  wouldn''t want to slap a man when he is ''injured'' n all.

I am sure he is a decent bloke but the sooner he leaves us the better. He might have more luck elsewhere, and our youngsters will get more opportunities. Sounds good all round to me.
