Danny G 0 Posted May 23, 2008 IF we did sign Mr Etherington , who would you prefer to play on the left wing ?I think / heard we might sign him and hope so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted May 23, 2008 Well at his best, Darren Huckerby. Much better player.Etherington would be a good signing. Worth a gamble, you might say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wombledoner 4 Posted May 23, 2008 Worth a gamble!! very funny. Pointless thread though, it would have to be Etherington because Huckerby IS NOT A NORWICH PLAYER!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryOne 0 Posted May 23, 2008 All is not well with Etherington right now and thats why West Ham are looking to offload a player who signed a 4 year contract in January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,694 Posted May 23, 2008 [quote user="GJP"]Well at his best, Darren Huckerby. Much better player.Etherington would be a good signing. Worth a gamble, you might say.[/quote]Problem is that Hucks at his absolute best - which was excellent - is a thing of the past, Yes he was ok in the final 6 games of the season, but imo not as good as he had been the season before. Right now, with a straight choice of Hoolahan, Etherington or Hucks, they would be in the order I''ve written them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted May 24, 2008 Maybe he''s coming on loan as part of a rehabilitation kinda thing, like Adriano''s doing, but for different reasons, and with different benefits. I.E adriano is homesick after his dad died, ethrington has a load of money he''s been careless with and it has effected his game, so his good relationship with roeder might help him sort his problems out with a year here. Just a thought, please don''t get too carried away with my analogy comparing him to adriano! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Houston Canary 0 Posted May 25, 2008 Problem is that Hucks at his absolute best - which was excellent - is a thing of the past, Yes he was ok in the final 6 games of the season - Branston PickleWhy do you Huckerby haters all assume this season in which he played injured most of the time is all he is capable of? There have been advances in sports medicine since the 1970s. As you say, he was fine in the last 6 games, when his injury problem was waning. Imagine how good he will be in September after his surgery and proper time to recover without being forced into games out of desperation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It''s hard to explain to someone who doesn''t see the games, but Hucks was clearly past his peak and had gone from talisman to a merely decent left winger.
