Hog 0 Posted August 19, 2008 [quote user="Jim Smith"][quote user="Salahuddin"]Would be better than what we have in that department, er nothing! But Camu has surely just put that one to bed hasn''t he?[/quote]How exactly has he put that one to bed?All he revealed is Bishop trained with Bury on Friday and did not play for them on saturday.For me there is something in this as its too random a name to be a completely made up rumour.[/quote] Well didn''t he say that the rumours had come from Canaries on their message board?

Camuldonum 0 Posted August 19, 2008 I''d only disagree slightly in what posters say in that Bishop is not a "trundler" although I imagine it was a figure of speech. He''s quite pacy and one skill is taking "half chances" and creating a chance when one doesn''t look very likely. But this has to be set against League Two defending which can be woeful - the sort of stuff that even makes people groan at a Sunday morning game and Managers bellow across the pitch.Those chances will come less often in your League and there''s the question of whether he can manage the pace of the Championship. That''s not to say he can''t but it''s not to say he can, either. There''s only one way of finding out and that is the risk you would have to take.The Bury lads say he''s their highest paid player - possibly up to £120,000 a year. The club press officer says the Bishop injury situation is "absolutely genuine" and the press officer is trusted locally for being up front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barclay_Boy 0 Posted August 19, 2008 [quote user="Have Heart"]I don''t know how much truth is in this, but i have a couple of friends who support Bury, and on the weekend the gossip was Bishop to norwich nearly a done deal.Any one else heard anything on this transfer? I know someone mentioned a medical on friday. [/quote]Wow, how exciting, especially if we have paid a whole 100,000 for this superstar. No doubt we will all be fed the same line re the Board have had to personally dig deep to come up with this massive sum of money.

[/quote]Did the press officer state if norwich had approached then reagrding bishop?[/quote]To be truthful we haven''t asked this week but we spoke to the Admin Office on Friday (the press officer being out) and on Friday any approach by Norwich - or anyone else - was news to then, or so they said. "I''m suprised the Manager hasn''t mentioned it," was one quote.Bury Times football reporter said: "I don''t believe it. He''s been linked with countless clubs - I''ve talked to a couple of players and none of them have heard a whisper about it."The press officer quote (from a fan on a Bury forum): ANdy Bishop was injured in the final stages of Tuesdays game.Its been kept quiet for a reasonHe didn''t train on Thursday, failed a fitness test yesterday and did not travel.He is in tomorrow for treatment and will be in for treatment again on Monday.He is expected to play on Saturday - for Bury - against Morecambethat''s from our very own press officer yesterday, can we not make it anymore clearer? bloody hell However, I''d be failing in my duty if I didn''t include this quote on the main Bury forum re the possible transfer: "We''ll let Naaaaaaaarich have Bish if we can have Delia - she can sort out the catering and provide the investment the Board is looking for. Rumour has it she likes a beer too so takings will be up in t''Social Club. Sorted." Friendly lot, the Shakers. Off to a good start, too, and against Chesterfield without their superstar. As to whether Delia could provide the investment is one question: I suspect she could sort out the catering.[8-|] We might ring tomorrow, if we get a moment.
