Welsh NorwichFan 1 Posted December 17, 2008 With the speculation that we are going to lose Bell, thought id do a poll to see if people would prefer to keep Croft or Bell. Now i think i''m right in thinking that Bell has much left longer on his contract than Croft. We also haven''t had much of a chance to see Bell play on the right wing because Croft has been there( although why they don''t swap around more in games is anybodies guess) Like another poster has suggested, the Bell for Ward move is terrible if we then lose Croft in Jan too. Purely for crossing ability, i''d keep Bell i think although is a tough one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InLambertWeTrust! 0 Posted December 17, 2008 If i had to choose? Difficult because while crofty runs up and down the right wing with pace Bell is the best crosser at the club IMO. Can we merge them both together and give Cov the rubbish end product? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted December 17, 2008 Croft, better all round player. Brings more to the team and works harder as well.I''d be very worried if he lost him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCFC_Shaun 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Croft for me. Although having said that Bell is more versatile, he can play anywhere in midfield (which he has done at Luton) ... Versatility is a great asset Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Binky 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Bell is the better footballer IMO but (eg in the Ipswich game) he seems reluctant to go past his man sometimes but looks to pass or cross his way out of trouble. Croft does run with the ball but his delivery needs improvement. At present though Croft has had the publicity and would be more sought after. We need both in the squad as things are. Shackell anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thecanaryfan 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Would sooner keep Bell. He is the only decent crosser of the ball at the club. Plus we all know Croft can be crap when he wants to be, Bell is a more consistant footballer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Empty Mirror 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Not really fair to Bell, as he is being played out of position. But on what we''ve seen this season, Crofty is faster, works harder, scores more, and worries the opposition more. To lose either winger might be considered a misfortune. To lose both would look like carelessness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky green trainers 0 Posted December 17, 2008 bell - he creates more chances - and i''m sure we''d see more from him in open play if he was playing on his favoured side - the right wing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDMullins 498 Posted December 17, 2008 Bell without doubt!Croft still has no end product despite his wonder goal! Anywhere near A million pond for Croft and i will personally drive him to his destination!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted December 18, 2008 We could do a swap with Man.u, Bell and croft for Ronaldo, and Stefanovic for Vidic (we will say he will be fit soon :D) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
