a1canary 0 Posted September 15, 2008 A bit like when we got Huckerby, we wondered what sort of team we were without him once he''d gone back to Man City. But then came Mckenzie and Svensson, and our attack was suddenly multi dimensional. The binners were singing "where''s your huck-erby" on derby day at there place in December 2004! And we all know what happened next.With Lupoli, Cureton and young Luke Daley, why did we need Omar? Puzzling signing if you ask me given how aware Roeder was of our need for a physical presence up front. Now we have it, we''re only one injury away from being toothless again. We NEED cover if we want to challenge, Roeder must know that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As the confidence of the team grows he will be introduced and from what I have seen so far the fans will love him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted September 15, 2008 not really any harm in getting him in on loan, not sure if we''re paying his wages but if we are they can''t be very high, he obviously has raw talent and pace so gives Roeder another option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps,as Nutty says, GR is biding his time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taxing 0 Posted September 15, 2008 I went to the match yesterday and Sibierski made the difference. Excellent flicks-on, lay-offs and a cool head. Not much energy or desire to run ( ! ) but he made Lupoli''s goal and then used his experience to hit the ball low and hard from distance to score the 2nd goal. We wondered why Lupoli was substituted. Although he had taken a couple of knocks he seemed Ok at the time of substitution and, sad to say, we didn''t look the same attacking force when Cureton came on - to be frank, he looked a little overweight and off the pace. I think Roeder made what he thought was the right choice at the time but, having watched Cureton play the last half an hour or so, I think that he may well choose Koroma next time round in a similar situation. Their defence was tired, down to 10 men after 30 minutes of the first half, they really were run ragged at times with Patterson excelling. With the benefit of hindsight I think that Roeder wishes he had put on the young and pacey Koroma rather than Curo. I also think that Roeder has now seen proof at first hand that a target man was indeed the missing piece of the jigsaw and is already working on bringing in another target man as an insurance policy for the injury prone Cyber Ski. IMO this is vital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted September 15, 2008 Curo seems to have lost it, certainly for pace, so if Arturo were injured Omar would have as good a claim as Curo perhaps. If both Art and Sib were injured or suspended.......? Rusty couldn''t fill both positions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted September 15, 2008 [quote user="Salopian"]Curo seems to have lost it,[/quote]Did he ever really have it?Wasn''t quite good enough the first time he was here and that hasn''t changed during his second stint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scott 0 Posted September 15, 2008 Koromas just a headless chicken! Eagle will never make the grade at Norwich as long as hes got a hole in his backside! Therefore no point in signing either! Keeping Huckerby and not having Koroma and Eagle would of proved much more successfull even though it may of cost more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Humphrey 13 Posted September 15, 2008 [quote user="scott"]Koromas just a headless chicken![/quote]Based on what? A couple of sub appearances?

lucky green trainers 0 Posted September 15, 2008 sure oj is a rough diamond coup - maybe he''s more ''rough'' than first thought - if he was our player - would roedy be thinking of loaning the boy out a league lower??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxxx 0 Posted September 15, 2008 Koroma will get his chances Harry would not have let him come here all season if he was not going to get some games , and reading Waghorns latest article it seems we have less than zero chance of signing Lupoli, and there is the problem with too many loanees , however well this side does next season half of them wont be here.

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 16, 2008 With all the squad leaving at the end of the season, it will clear the way for Cullum to come in with a £20m warchest and then we can build our Premiership Team for 09/10! I think Marshall would be the only permenant player up for the prem. Maybe Rusty and Dejan if he''s still kept up his fitness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
