lucky green trainers 0 Posted February 2, 2009 yep - its bye, bye crofty...bet his agent got an idea of what city would offer crofty in the summer off gunny - and then rang a few ''interested'' clubs up...but lets face it - thats been crofty''s plan all along...''if'' and its a big ''if'' knowing NCFC - this money is invested in say iversen and a proper man of a CB by end of today, then great...so cheers mate - chow...[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were simply examples of what might persuade him to go.I take your point about Clingan but add a point of caution. Didn''t Sammy come to us near the end of his contract? That gives the buying club a strong advantage because any fee that would have gone to the player''s club could be used as a signing on fee instead. Same situation for Croft?

pennywise 0 Posted February 2, 2009 i`d swap him for wes morgan + cash , he`s the sort of bruiser we need at the back[:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby 0 Posted February 2, 2009 I wouldn''t want Crofty to go anywhere. He''s one of the few players we have who loves this club, plays with his heart on his sleeve and runs his little legs off. I would hope he wouldn''t want to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canaries 0 Posted February 2, 2009 This is what is on the website about croft and west bromSkysports.com understands that a host of clubs are tracking Norwich winger Lee Croft ahead of the January transfer window. Croft is out of contract at the end of the season and Premier League strugglers West Brom are thought to have targeted the 23-year-old as a possible New Year reinforcement.Championship promotion-hopefuls Birmingham and Wolves are also reported to be keeping tabs on Croft and could consider making an offer when the transfer window re-opens. Blackburn and Preston are among a number of other clubs which have been connected with the former Manchester City player, who scored in Sunday''s victory over rivals Ipswich.Croft joined Norwich in 2006 when the Canaries paid City £700,000 for his services Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
