Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 31, 2008 Well said Fat Barman, its the same usual nonsense from the same peopleover and over. Thanks for the stats as well though, makes me alot more optomistic about Iversson if this rumour is true. Iguess its kinda like when Neilsen left us cos his wife got a top job orsomething, but for once working for us!Incidentally, I reckon you should have got the council to put one ofthose elephants in your pub, then it would have been a great excuse tovisit on Saturday instead of trudging around branches of Norwich andPeterborough.....

renegade tootsie 0 Posted July 31, 2008 Iverson - cheap option???? The guys wages must be well over Glens alleged 8k cap so he would not be cheap and he''s playing for a team hitting the fringe of the Champions league.If we got him in I for one would be very pleased.[quote user="Dictator Smith"]Another cheap option , Bristol City splash out £2 million on a striker Forest splash out nearly £4million on two strikers , we get some old has been and a kiddie on loan , and the sad thing is most will still say they are happy .In a word its pathetic we would struggle to compete in the transfer market in League 1 .[/quote] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xxxx 0 Posted July 31, 2008 Well lets start with some we have been linked with , Ameobi ,Rasiak ,Rigters, then theres Nugent probably available for around £3 million (Town being linked again today ) Carrol at Newcastle theres plenty of people out there if only you can spend some of that lovely old investment Delia has got her hands on ,Alas Norwich dont have a penny and Delia lies out of her backside thats why the most Roeder has paid out is a pathetic £400,000 on a superstar from Luton .As for you Blah i remember you were Nigels champion and the Worthy outers were never going to get him out were they , are you ever right about anything ?

[/quote]For what it''s worth I think he''s right about you. [:)]If we end up with a decent striker that can hold play up (for which, I think Iverson would be a good bet - and not at all the cheap option imo), I think that Roeder will have done a good job of getting in decent (for this level) cover in most positions. Of course we can''t tell for sure until the season starts but, equally, I remember Leicester and Mandaric being touted as the model ambitious club that was getting all the players we should have been in for at exactly this point last year ... so you can''t tell either way but I am quietly pleased with the replacements Roeder has brought in. Just because he hasn''t spent money like an idiot doesn''t mean he hasn''t played the transfer scene shrewdly. Would you be happier with Hoolahan if he''d cost us £2 million?

Ole Christian 0 Posted July 31, 2008 According to norvegian newspaper Dagbladet, Steffen Iversen makes700.000 pound a year, with the possibility of another 60% in bonuses ifhe does well.Since Rosenborg recently sold striker Yssouf Kone, they currently haveonly one striker, young Jo Sondre Aas, to cover for him, so certainlythey cant sell without first buying, possibly.Kenny Cooper was reported to be their first choice, but FC Dallas have stated they are not selling him.Ivers was linked with a move to Lazio in january, with a transfer fee of 1,1mill pound according to speculation in the papers. Rosenborg has stated several times they will not let him go cheaply, and I think they are unlikely to let him leave for less than 1,5 mill.Therefore, in my opinion, Ivers is unlikely to become a Norwich player, if it Norwich who is after him.I would however like to be wrong, Ivers has been a quality striker who have scored great goals for years now. For us norwegian footballfans his header against Spain in EM 2000 is a classic.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVA5M366Jhs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
