DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted December 22, 2004 Yes Saint. I''m worried about that. Personally I think he panic bought over the Doc. He was desperate for a centre back and paid over the odds. I just hope we don''t go and blow our January kitty and next summers on a player who is no better than we already have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I do trust Worthy, and who knows?, a deal may have already been settled!. Fingers crossed eh?, and January, one way or another, will put an end to the rumour merchants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StevenageFan 0 Posted December 22, 2004 don''t know about you lot, but I''m starting to panic Hey guys, at least if we sell Greeno for £4M then we could have £5.2M to panic buy with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no1canary 0 Posted December 22, 2004 wotever happens, we still need another striker. and we will almost definately get one now. there are quite a few out there and im sure worthy wont buy worse than wot we already have.and anyway, is £4m really enough for a future england gk? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted December 22, 2004 Greeno is worth more than £4m to norwich as a club but I am not convinced that his transfer fee will go far beyond £5m - keepers simply do not command a premium unless they are proven international players.With Van der saar and schwarzer available to sign Manure and gooners have options before you throw in cudicini who cant be happy at the prospect of a second season sitting on the bench... That sort of supply will also dampen any final fee.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlies dad 0 Posted December 23, 2004 With the struggling Mckenzie our only fit striker, would buying another striker represent panic? I dont think so. I think its an absolute necessity, and further failure to adress this weakpoint in the squad would be absolute stupidity on the clubs part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point is will he panic and buy a player no better than Leon. I think we are forgetting that we have a lot more striking options than we think. We still have fit players who can play up front: Mcveigh, Jonson, Huckerby, Leon, Bentley, Jarvis, Crowe & Henderson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan 0 Posted December 23, 2004 This is a good chance to give Jarvis a run out as a sub in the next few games and see what happens.Play 4-5-1 and bring on Jarvis in the second half instead of or as well as Leon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlies dad 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Heard on the radio this morning Crow could freature on the bench on sunday. Having seen Jarvis on several occasions this season, i dont beleive he is good enough, Crow may be good enough but i dont think is ready, Mackenzie''s tally of one goal by christmas, simply doesnt cut it... something needs to be done. Or we will forfeit whatever chance we have to stay up. Get soeone in who can hit the target a few times and we could conceivably nick the 4-5 wins that we need to stay up. Fact.

BIC 0 Posted December 23, 2004 We do have plenty of options up front, but we don''t have anyone who can consistently win high balls and hold the ball up. Whether we play long ball or not, the ball still spends a lot of time in the air and a big lad is always going to be useful. Personally I''d have been a lot more optimistic about getting something from the coming games if we had Iwan in the squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bananaman 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Oh mY GOD!!!SHUT UP about Iwan!!!! He did b*****r all for us for the last 2 seasons in Div 1, so why would he do anything apart from fall over in the prem.Mr Chile - on one hand you insult the Wizard for his (obvious) insanity, and on the other hand you are clearly insane yourself!

westoncanary. 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Charlies Dad, if Crow is good enough, then surely he is ready then? A few subs appearances will do him no harm at all, and every season a young player will burst on to the scene and do well for himself. Look at Neil Mellor at Liverpool, he has been given his chance due to injuries and he is beginning to look the part.I would rather see Crow given an opportunity than rush to buy someone out of desperation. We should encourage young talent coming through or what sort of message does it send out to the rest of the reserves/youth team? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted December 23, 2004 Mellor is an interesting case. Last season he looked abysmal for the hammers yet he is now scoring in the prem. It shows what playing people in their proper positions can do for confidence (I understand Pardew played mellor on the right wing)OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlies dad 0 Posted December 24, 2004 I take your point about young Crow, Weston, but hes very raw, he runs like a little tank, never shirks a tackle and puts himself about, but against class acts like the excellent King for example, he wouldnt get a kick. I just dont think its fair on the lad, although he obviously wouldnt complain. He may get the opportunity to prove me wrong as Worthy obviously thinks the same as me, that hes leapfrogged Jarvis in the pecking order and i for one sincerely hope he smashes a hat trick.

westoncanary. 0 Posted December 26, 2004 Raw talent, I like the sound of that!! I have to be honest and bow to your greater knowledge on Crow, You have seen him play, I haven''t, so I will agree with you but I would love to see him come off the bench and bang one in!!
