The Great Wall Of Tettey 0 Posted July 17, 2008 i wouldnt be surprised to see a midfielder leave.personally i think 12 is a bit to many for midfield considerign we are short on defence and strikers, unless he has it all planned ! when do we go to sweden ? would have thought he would want a nearly full squad by then !

Dions Lightsaber 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Sign him purely for all the Bell-end jokes. There have already been a couple on here tody and I for one am well in favour of it. I just hope Roeder doesn''t have to pull Bell off at half time... [:P] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz Killington 0 Posted July 17, 2008 [quote user="National express super guard "][quote user="Midlandcanary"]Yes we do need him. He is better than croft and chadwick so imo is a good signing![/quote]u gotta back that up with stats or is it just your opinion. Don''t go knocking crofty [:#][/quote] Don''t get this wrong, I like Crofty, and really rate him, but 1 goal and 4 assists in a season isn''t enough for a winger. Before i get shot down, he is only 22, and will improve his game yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever it is that wins football matches it isn''t Crofty. The guy passion and commitment isn''t in question. His ability is. He never pick anybody out he''s never gets to the by-line and he never set up goals. He doesn''t score either. 1 a season maybe 2. And although you can exempt his missed chances I could not. Somebody else could do much better creatively and stick away 8 to 10 those glorious chances that Crofty fluffs. Sorry but he''s a no trick pony in my book.Lovely lad I''m sure and as I say nobody can doubt his commitment but at this level that’s not enough. I''d be bloody committed. I would be good enough though.You charge you argument with emotion not facts. And you insult somebody on that basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Helsinki canary 240 Posted July 17, 2008 Lee Croft has always had a weight and fitness problem at Norwich he is ok in short bursts, that doesnt suit the roeder regime and I reckon croft has been sacked because he was even more out of condition after summer break. Chadwick is a light weight and too inury prone so bell will fit straight into the first team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was great on Champ Man. But then, so was Drewe Broughton.As for Croft, I would love him to stay but he would actually have to start affecting games to make it worth it. Yes, he looks fresh and full of pace. Yes, he strikes fear into the left back. BUT he can''t cross and certainly can''t shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
