stroud canary 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Looks as though these guys will be in the championship next year unless they move on.Green - Cant see him leaving..or anyone buying him for that matter!Francis - must be resigned to being a good championship player now. Again cant see anyone coming in for him and he is in London again so might be more reluctant to move.Ashton - Probably move on, could be alot interested but depends on fitness.Poor old West Ham he has had less time on the pitch for them than he did for us.Shame! That will learn them!Ha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Francis I think still has a massive attitude problem, so he will definitely be back at Carrow Road for Watford next season - and I can''t wait to give him some stick [:@].Ashton I think will definitely go, irrespective of his injury - I''ve always thought that Newcastle would be a good move for him. Could you imagine that - a strike force of Ashton, Owen and Martins...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sambool 0 Posted April 17, 2007 greens amazing! ive watched him countless times this season hes been excellent. ok so hes dropped a couple but that dont make him worse than that overweight lard boy robinson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickyst220 0 Posted April 17, 2007 Think it''s a shame for Green he was a good servant for Norwich, he should really get a chance for England but that will not happen while he is playing in the championship. He will NOT return to Norwich, I think. He would have stayed, had we stayed up.......Cashton will move on, IF anyone wants him. Expect him to play really well for hammers for 1st part of season so that he can transfer January! Like he did for us......Francis...... getting stick when playing for Watford @ Carrow RD next season... ME TOO !!!!!!!!! That''s if no one in premiership wants him........

Syteanric 1 Posted April 17, 2007 cant believe anyone is saying "franics will get stick and no one is saying Ashton is...Damien Francis never once said he wanted to leave Norwich... Dean Ashton made it clear he''d be off...yet Francis gets tarnished.. and i dont believe its got anything to do with is performances... Scored in the January vs WBA, set up hucks vs Southampton away, set up Mckenzie vs Palace away, people criticise him for his no show at fulham.. but if Francis had played well would we of stayed up? no! because the other players were a disgrace that day! the only reason people slag Franics off is because of some petty rumours from 2 years ago and a very big bandwagon!i wotn give him stick.. i will give him a good reception.. he was one of the reasons we got to the premiership in the first place!jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sket 0 Posted April 17, 2007 same here jas.i was at his last game at carrow road which was a friendly at home to internazionale and was digusted at the lack of support shown to him.damo never got a chant from the fans even though his goals kept us in the running in our prem season, if it wasnt for him i dont know how many points we would have eneded up with, i dread to think. in his last game he was roundly booed by all sides, i was especially disapointed in the barclay and snake pit as i thought at least they would try and chant for him but no. as you can probably tell im still annoyed about the whole incident as at the time i thought his future was still in the balance and maybe we could have won him over. maybe i am wrong, we shall never know.

nobbyg 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Quite right. After the final whistle at Fulham, the players came towards the away end, most were shell shocked or in tears.....but not Francis. He was smiling away having a laugh and joke with one of the Fulham players.And you wonder why I didn''t cheer him in a summer friendly.......after he had stated he wanted to leave.

Greeno was a very loyal servant to the club and could of moved away from Carrow Road far quicker than he did in the end if he had really been the selfish individual that some on here would have you believe.Yet again plenty iof evidence to see why people like myself and Cluck clash with most of the yokels!!!

Lambo 0 Posted April 18, 2007 why is everybody hating on Rob Green? he could have moved on long before he did but he stayed to try and help the club to progress with his ambitions, IMO Greeno was a great servant to the club i''d definatly give him a good reception when he eventually does return to Carrow Road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
