Matthew Spring : From Watford to Norwich ?

[blahblahblah 2]

While looking at the site for the Marshall story, this came to my attention.  Admittedly this is from a forum on the teamtalk site, but it might be worth some discussion :

The rumour is that Matthew Spring will be joining us for an undisclosed fee.  A goalscoring central midfielder, could we use one of those ? [:)]

    Yes please! Would be PG''s best signing by a mile if he pulled it off...

I thought he was excellant for watford last season ,especially at carrow road. He scored 9 goals in 43 championship games which is a good record and so is proven at our level. At 27 he still has age on his side as well.

Would be great.

would probably end up as 4-3-3 again:

            Marshall

Colin, Dion, Shacks, Drury

     Etuhu, Safri, Spring

Croft                        Hucks

             Brown

or

            Marshall

Colin, Dion, Shacks, Drury

          Safri, Spring

Croft   Chadwick      Hucks

             Brown

Note this is while Earnshaw is out.  It would be a good formation.

subs, in order of selection: 

GK - Gally, Lewis

CB - Docherty, Spillane, Fleming

SB - Hughes, Spillane

CMF - (second formation), RossiJ, Eagle, Hughes, Robinson

SMF - Chadwick (and first formation), Eagle, Henderson, Colin, Spring, WLY, Hughes

CF - Dublin, RyanJ, Henderson,  Hucks(first formation), Thorne, WLY

Would also love to see a Fleming + cash for Hayter swap.

Note its hard to work out the hughees/robbo in CMF and Thorne/WLY at CF ordering.

if spring does come to carrow road,who would he replace robinson or hughes 

[Tom NCFC 0]

This one would be great, but is there are real evidence to back it up?

Grant, Make it happen!

[ZLF 271]

Definitely worth a shout - and in the position that needs it most - Safri and Spring, defensive and attacking - just what our midfield needs.  Get another to compete and a wide midfielder and we are getting there.

sounds like a decent player and could be worth the gamble, and from what i hear he cant do much worse than our current lot.

A great signing if it happens! I''m not going to get too excited though until he is actually a Norwich player! I know better than that....

I agree, hopes have been raised far too often in the last few years,( with the exception of Aston and Earnshaw to be fair)

Who''s WLY?

[Mike Abram 0]

Anyone think Matt Spring was the player Doomcaster talked about in his column? The one who had agreed to join but backed out because his wife was heavily pregnant and didn''t want to move at this "important period in their lives".

If not who is this mystery player?

[WLY = the little less-loved Paul McVeigh]

[blahblahblah 2]

WLY is Paul McVeigh, so called because the Barclay End used to sing "We Love You Paul McVeigh" when he put in a good game.  The fact that you don''t know why he''s called that speaks volumes about his recent performances.

From todays article about Earnshaw...

[quote]The City boss also admitted he had virtually completed the signing of an unnamed goalscoring midfielder earlier in the week, but the move was scuppered at the last minute when the player''s heavily pregnant wife decided she did not want to move.[/quote]

Damn ?
