Dream on Canaries 0 Posted July 5, 2004 I have heard a whispervia a family member of someone on the board that we are trying to sign a Scandinavian striker from Charlton, so maybe there is something in the Johannson rumour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncfc4eva 0 Posted July 6, 2004 IF this johansson rumour is true..can i just ask...WHY?..we dont need him and would surely be just a waste of space and money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted July 6, 2004 Welcome Crafty. Always nice to have new people on the board. Few questions though: I''m not disputing the 5:15 kick of for United away, but surely it won''t be on tv? All the dates have been relseased already, and I couldn''t see us being on sky 3 times in a week!! Also Johannsen? Might link up well with Sven I spose....

Hannibal 0 Posted July 6, 2004 dont forget that prem plus fixtures have yet to be released. as for johansen or however you spell it, would be a shrewd signing i am a big fan of his my best mate is a charlton fan and i have been down to the valley a few times with him, he has not scored a bunch of goals last season but his movement is first class and the season before that he was banging in the goals.

Pepe Deluxe<P>Per E.<P><P>-On the ball City!<P> 0 Posted July 6, 2004 Canal+ in Norway are at least showing the Utd game. Canal+ are actually showing more games than Sky: 4 saturday matches, 2 sunday matches and one monday match each week + postponed or reschedualed matches.They are showing Utd-Norwich, Newcastle-Norwich, Arsenal-Norwich, Tottenham-Norwich, Norwich-Everton and Man City-Norwich this fall. They are also picking one saturday match (k.o. 3 pm.) each week wich means that if we put up a good fight, they''ll be showing us even more. And i''m planning two trips to FCR this fall as well.It''s good to be a Canary-man in Norway this fall :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mcsncfcmcs 0 Posted July 6, 2004 I had heard that the reason why the Man Utd game is not currently on the list is because they are waiting for the Manchester police to give their approval for the later kick-off. Obvisouly the later kick-off means a few more problems for the cops (afternoon drinking and the rest), and they often have an influence on kick-off times (eg putting the derby matches at 13:00 on a Sunday). Might be true, might not!As for Johansen, I suppose it''s a possiblity given that Charlton have a decent proportion of the Scott Parker transfer fee to spend this summer, plus the money they got for their finishing position last season. Curbishley''s already signed 3 players (I think!) and he said he was looking at around 7-8 to come in (one of which might be Hasselbaink apparently as he would prefer to stay in London than to move to Scotland). So it would make sense to move a few players on, and hopefully for realistic fees. Can''t say I know too much about Johansen but with strikers you always have to consider not only their own game, but how they would fit with our other strikers. If Johansen is the type of player Worthy feels would work well with Hucks or McKenzie (and Svennson as well perhaps, no doubt they played together at some point at Charlton) then he would be a good player to sign, rather than another striker who maybe has a better goalscoring ratio, but wouldn''t complement the strikers we currently have so well. According to Charlton''s website, he is a target man with the ablity to score goals, including some spectacular over head kicks! I always feel that a club idealy wants 4 main strikers, with 2 smaller, quicker players, and two target men. So he sounds the exact sort of player we would want really, particularly as our chances of signing Crouch don''t seem great at the moment (allegedly they want £2m for him, which he simply is not worth).On a related noted, I really believe that Leon will surprise a lot of people this season. He certainly believes in himself as the article about him on here shows! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
