Pete Raven 276 Posted January 2, 2008 Doesn''t sit with what Roeder said only one month ago but we shall see..."In my own mind I want to bring him back in the new year because I have not had a chance to see him in action yet and I want to see what he is like."

Coelho 0 Posted January 2, 2008 I would be gutted if he went; he''s been talked about as one of the best young goalkeepers in England since he was 15 years old. However, there''s no way that Marshall can be dropped as he''s been excellent for us, and in Gilks we have a more experienced goalkeeper who is also desperate to be involved in the first team - you couldn''t blame Lewis''s agent if he was telling him it was time to move on. He''s worth nothing to us sitting in our reserves, so unless we''re planning to sell Marshall in the near future then I guess we would have to reluctantly accept any offer and use the cash to strengthen other areas.

can u sit down please 0 Posted January 2, 2008 i know pete, i hope its not true......but a month ago we thought we would get Taylor for £750k!maybe he is happy with Marshall,Gilks and Arnold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inch High aka Inchy.. 417 Posted January 2, 2008 Lets hope our board are as willing to buy as they are to sell. Lewis is a great future prospect for whoever he plays for at the end of this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canarygeorge 0 Posted January 2, 2008 I cant see it myself. But you never know.Athough, on Anglia Soccer Night, a few minutes ago Barry Fry said Posh were going to break their transfer record on 1 player in the next week. Deal all sorted. And Lewis has been performing well in Posh''s division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thecanaryfan 0 Posted January 3, 2008 I agree, Lewis is a quality keeper but £400k would really boost the kitty for decent new players. Gilks is also quality and could potentially be better than Marshall in my opinion. £400k would cover half the price tag for tiny. Would sooner have 1 tiny over 10 Lewis''s.......

Carrow Fink 0 Posted January 3, 2008 I''m afraid its 90% correct - he is having ''talks'' today with POSH but no move is agreed yet as another championship Club with Norwich connections has expressed an interest. My Parents & the Parents of a former Canary Striker who is now at POSH are very good mates.

a1canary 0 Posted January 3, 2008 I don''t see why people find this so hard to believe. Granted. it''s a really tough call but when you think about it, it''s the only conclusion. In an ideal world, i don''t think there''s anyone who would agree to selling Joe Lewis. But today''s football is all now now now, and Joe Lewis is just not going to get first team football at Norwich in the next two years. So what do you do? I don''t think there''s any doubt that given regular first team football he will become as good if not better than all our current keepers. So we can''t win. He can''t hang around waiting and he won''t develop without first team football so the only option is to get as much as we can for him now. The only other possibility as far as i can see is to hold on to him for another year and loan him out and hope that Marshall does enough for a big money move to the prem, clearing the way for Joe. Unlikely.It''s very sad but i don''t think it can be helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 754 Posted January 3, 2008 I know I''m probably in a minority but I think this is for the best all round. We have three decent keepers in the squad and only two half decent centre halves. The money we get from Joe should allow us to clinch the Taylor deal and at the moment that is a far more important than hanging on to a third choice keeper who is unlikely to get a game. I admit the guy has potential and this could come back and bite us on the bum but then Gilks and Marshal have potential too.On a separtate point, Peterborough have a new rich chairman who bought the club earlier this year so there is no problem with the £400K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Lewis set for Posh switchBy Matt DonlanCommentFORMER Morecambe loan keeper Joe Lewis is mulling over a shock £400,000 move from Norwich City to Peterborough United.The 20-year-old England under-21 star was recalled from his spell at Christie Park to Carrow Road by boss Glenn Roeder with a view to playing in the Championship team.But just three days after his exit, the keeper is set for the move to Morecambe''s League Two rivals.Ironically, Lewis made his final Morecambe appearance against Posh on Saturday.Boss Sammy McIlroy says: "I spoke to the lad last night and he told me he was thinking about it - and you can''t blame him."I knew Peterborough were interested in him and we did put a bid in for him.advertisement"But we can''t compete with £400,000. I am surprised with the move though." http://www.thelancasterandmorecambecitizen.co.uk/sport/kendallancsports/display.var.1940493.0.lewis_set_for_posh_switch.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
