First Wazzock 902 Posted August 31, 2009 ***Norwich City Football Club News***Paul Lambert will be using Tuesdays Johnstones Paint Trophy game to take a look at the remaining few ''dead–wood'' players beore making a decision on what happens on deadline day. Out of favour trio Darel Russell, Goran Maric and Dejan Stefanovic are all expected to take some part against the Bees and will need to impress to avoid being shipped out by Lambert. Definate outs will be Wes Hoolahan, on his way to Paulo De Sousa''s Swansea and Gary Doherty who is wanted by former team mate Malky Mackay at WatfordIf Lambert can get a few quid for these two and prehaps a few more who are attracting interest then expect him to start dipping into the transfer market himself David Perkins transfer request at Colchester is supposedly a smoke–screen for his move to Carrow Road. Lambert is also in the market for Crewe striker Calvin Zola, Col Utd defender Danny Fox and a few other targets. Watch this space, it could be an exciting deadline day for Canary fans.

TheGoogler 324 Posted August 31, 2009 100% rubbish, as the window shuts Tuesday 5pm, before the game starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wazzock 902 Posted August 31, 2009 I have just realised the major flaw with this rumour and that is that the game Tuesday is AFTER the transfer window has shut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sideshow Tim 110 Posted August 31, 2009 It doesn''t add up as the transfer deadline finishes before the game starts, so how would he ship them out after the game......................or am i taking this dodgy rumour site too seriously? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted August 31, 2009 [quote user="1st Wazzock"]I have just realised the major flaw with this rumour and that is that the game Tuesday is AFTER the transfer window has shut.[/quote]But you can loan players in or out (after the window has shut + 1 week?) with a view to a permanent signing (when the transfer window opens again), e.g., Etuhu.Why do we have transfer windows?

It is a slightly outdated problem though!Maybe it should be dropped from the lower leagues and just kept for the premier league, which can affford the large squad it entails.

Russell has said he wants to go and Stefanovic is 34 and recovering from a very bad injury. Very few of us have seen Maric to be able to judge him in anyway, so unable to comment on whether he is deadwood or not. Some would say Nelson was deadwood after the Col U game but that seems to have changed after one good performance at Hartlepool..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn''t we lure Donkerty in with a carrot while pushing Mackay out the door? Not a good move, that one.[/quote]Actually footballing wise it was. Malky would have been ripped appart in the prem.I was discussing this with a couple of buddies the other day and we said that the biggest difference is that Malky knew where to foul his player unlike Doherty who does it all over the place. Malky was a ball winner but never that assured with the ball at his feet, infact his normal reaction was to hoof it as far up the field as he could. This is ok when you have someone like Iwan who will win you a lot of knock downs and flick ons but not so great if you are playing teams with good defenders.The only difference is that Malky was a bit of a leader. He knew how to organise his defence and it is the fact that working with the players around him that made our defences one of the meanest in the league for a few years. Fleming was another ''silent'' member of that defence but much more the passing player. Malky won the ball and would give it to him or hoof it. Fleming would try and start the passing from the back.Unfortunately when it came to the premiership Malky''s lack of pace and ability on the ball would have left him vulnerable as Watford found the few times they played him in the prem. Should we have kept him to keep the spirit in the changing room - probably but I think Worthington was honest and straight with his players and probably told Malky that he wasn''t going to get many games. At that age players want to be playing not warming benches or seats in the stands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
