What, get rid of Croft so Roeder can waste the fee on loans and still get us relegated? We need to keep hold of as many of are ''own'' players as possible so''s at least a new manager has something to play with when he finally comes along.

Based on an old rumour saying, if Beatie leaves Sheff Utd, SU will buy croft.

I would say it''s based on Roeder saying yesterday that Bell and Hollahan are not going anywhere. He didn''t say anything about Croft. So i would say he will be off somewhere this month!

God I hope so. He is useless, I had to laugh at the story which said they were interested in him to provide crosses for James Beattie!!How laughable is that!!

See what I mean?  Roeder never said anything of the kind.  There was a headline that was designed to make people think he did.

Sorry to labour the issue but it really does drive me mad.

Vital Norwich  website reporting that Roeder wants Croft to sign an extension to his contract.

He will be, he isnt going to go to Sheffiled united, has he or etheir club actually said this them selves??

[ZLF 274]

Who knows!   The last runmour I heard was £1.3m and Paddy Kenny for Marshall and Croft.

First time I have heard the Marshall bit,  but the links of Croft and Utd are certainly very persistent...

Am I missing something? Aren''t the whole squad ''off to Sheff Utd''? [;)]

In the article GR was refering to the players he signed permanent in the summer, the main 3 being Clingan, Hoolahoop and Bell.

Fact is we''re broke and we''re going to have to sell before next season. We''ve got precious few assets to sell and Croft is one who''s stock is up at the moment. Plus we have cover if he does go. It makes sense to me in financial terms so i wouldn''t be surprised. Hopefully we can keep him until the summer and he continues to improve so we can get the best price possible.

What about Cureton? We invested over 750,000 on him 18 months ago and hes''s still got 18 months on his contract so he must be worth at least half a mil? Otherwise the money would have been better off spent on loans.

So are you saying permanent tranfers aren''t an investment? How about Adam Drury.. he''s under contract for another two and a half years.. surely we could get at least half a mil for him?

[/quote]If they are an investment they are a highly risky one! For every "bargain" there is at least one dud! The trouble is, you have to keep on paying for them through (often inflated) wages. Not only did we waste 3/4 million on Cureton but we continue to waste hundreds of thousands a year on wages!

I can''t see us getting more than 50k for him Angel. That''s my point really, most of the time permanent players contracted to the club are no more of an investment than loans. Unless we do get shot of Cureton he will be part of Roeders playing budget when he''s 35! Drury is here until 2011. Where was the investment in Chadwick and Lappin or even Russell. It''s endless.

Croft starts today. That''s the end of that one then. Surprise.
