Really don''t rate Lee so could be good news.  Go get Holt now.

I''ll save Wiz the effort:I bet Saints could sign him. [:@]

It''s funny how we were beginning to think we would be adding Lee and Dickinson to the squad but probably will end up with neither.

IMO this is utter crap!!! I bet Barnsley haven''t expressed any serious interest....We need to remember Warnock is a mug and he''s blatently trying to push Norwich into a corner and line his pockets....Wouldn''t believe anything that comes out of his mouth!!!!

It''s everywhere now, that Barnsley are in for Alan Lee.

Of course it''s everywhere - journo''s (apart from our Pete) are lazy and will re-write anything that appears anywhere else.  Colin is an old master, knows the right people to tell a half truth to knowing how it will be picked everywhere very quickly.  If you''re gonna panic over potential transfers please let it be about a better quality player than Lee!

Spot on - Colin is trying to talk the price up for Lee and Dickinson''s agent is doing likewise by saying Brighton are interested.

I suspect you are right Rocky Rocastle. We''re probably playing hardball over the fee and they need cash to pay the bonuses.

out bid by the mighty Barnsley, dont want the fellah anyway better around imo.

[7rew 0]

It might be "City unwilling to match asking price or wages", could it not?  Palace may just have screwed up when they signed him and paid too much for him and are now wanting it back.  I''m sure we don''t have a monopoly on bad deals!

It''s a long time since we did that - I''d forgotten what it feels like.

We may not have a monopoly but it happens too often imo.

I don''t for one second beleive a word thats coming from Neil Warmock''s mouth.

He''s saying we''re offering him far less wages than he''s on?

We won''t be offering him ANY wages til we''ve agreed a fee with Palace, thus making his comments utter rubbish.

If the reports are true plus he wants higher wages then we should pass on him.

Better to spend the money on a younger version like Dickinson or Holt IMHO.

 

[Lambo 0]

How can we be discussing wages with a player when we haven''t agreed a fee with his club???

If we were doing that we''d be breaking all kinds of rules and Neil Warnock would be the first person to bitch and moan about it if we were.

The story is a load of bull concocted by Journo''s who thought a deal would have been done by now.

You have to feel a bit sorry for Alan Lee. He''s a journeyman whose biggest success came at Ipswich and the club where he felt most at home. Now the majority of Ipswich fans dislike him for joining Norwich and comments he made around the derby (that he''d celebrate if he scored etc). Norwich fans now seem to be going off the idea of signing him too whilst others say they never liked him!I think he could end up being in an Andy Marshall situation where you hated him for joining us and we hated him because he was rubbish! East Anglia may be the place he feels at home but if it comes out that he didn''t join you because he wanted high wages then I don''t think he''ll be too welcome in Norfolk or Suffolk!
