Sure he knows his way about but would involve a fee & big wages and all he would really be doing is winding down his career to retirement. A bit of a Cureton option reallyFar better to get a experienced but relatively young and hungry player we could sell on if the need arose.Have you learnt nothing from the loan farrago?

That is a complete fabrication. It merely states that two clubs have enquired to see if he''s available. No offers. No agreements. You couldn''t make it up! Or could you?

DEB (never forgotten) 0 Posted May 21, 2009 [quote user="iniesta"]He''s not even that good.[/quote]That could be said for many championship players - most of whom are beyond us in terms of transfer fees & wages. Look at what our club has become under Smith! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taxing 0 Posted May 21, 2009 [quote user="iniesta"]He''s not even that good.[/quote] Good call. I have to admit I liked him but I have doubts about his stamina and hunger for a whole season. More important, I did feel we played alot better and looked more threatening with Mooney and Gow up front. To my mind, Lee would be a good impact sub but unfortunately we can''t afford that luxury in the 3rd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iwan is God 0 Posted May 21, 2009 IMHO it will be a disaster if we don''t sign Lee! He''s a natural leader, will bully League 1 defenses & score goals. Equally important is that he actually wants to be here... Who (realistically) would be a better signing to play up front? I can''t think of anyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACE 0 Posted May 21, 2009 Yes and how much would the L1 top scorers cost? 600K like Lee or over a million?Some of you are still in cuckoo land.[quote user="Loan City Fc "]You would probably get more goals from an Andy Bishop or a Grant Holt .[/quote] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted May 21, 2009 A binner colleague of mine says Lee is brilliant for the first two months of the season, then starts getting tired and claps out round about Xmas time. We saw him play well as he hadn''t been playing at Palace so had lots of energy. As he''d be 1st choice at Norwich, I''m not that fussed if he does join another club.

Smudger 0 Posted May 21, 2009 [quote user="WACCOLO"]Hopefully we are in for him, wouldn''t mind him as back up to super Stevie Howard.[/quote]I can''t think of a player that matches him more closely.Alan Lee is utter crap, but maybe there would of been hope for him in Div 3 given Steve Howard''s record last season.If you had them two playing upfront for you in the Championship then you could coun''t the number of goals on the hand of one man minus a couple of fingers.I defo do not want Alan Lee.

Costa-Canary 0 Posted May 21, 2009 Norwich always used to be a selling club,which like it or not always bought us in some good cash, the last few years we have stopped being a selling club mostly because we do not have anyone worth selling. Alan Lee is a perfect example of this, end of his career, his value is only ever going to go down, no investment in the future which is half the reason we are in the mess we are in.
