LinkNR9 0 Posted January 1, 2010 I see that we''ve been linked with Sarffend''s Lee Barnard. http://www.pinkun.com/content/pinkun/norwich-city/story.aspx?brand=PINKUNOnline&category=Norwich&tBrand=PINKUNOnline&tCategory=xDefault&itemid=NOED01%20Jan%202010%2013%3A16%3A38%3A903Look''s like he''d be a good back-up for Holt. Should we go for him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bump 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Of course, I wouldn''t have him as back up either.But saying that I can''t see where the link with us has come from apart from that Pink''Un article Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,206 Posted January 1, 2010 at 17 he would be a good investment.I guess we could wave bye bye to Jamie Lad With Barnard supporting Holt, Cody Mac and Chris Martin i think we would have a good strike force there , still think Cody Mac''s best is yet to come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted January 1, 2010 Would definitely be a good signing, but with Askou out for 6 weeks I''d rather pick up a decent centre back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Would be a good signing but I dnt want to see chris martin out of the team without doing anything wrong. Still think Martin a better prospect than him. Still wouldn''t mind seeing him move here second to a centre back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted January 1, 2010 I think a new striker is pretty much of equal importance to another defender. You can patch up a defence (as we have done) but if Grant Holt was to be out for a while I think we''d struggle.Lee Barnard''s goalscoring record at this level is pretty good so we could do worse than bring him in.

TheGoogler 604 Posted January 1, 2010 I would love to see us sign him. I think he''s a better striker than Martin overall and his addition would give us the best strike force in the division by far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 8,749 Posted January 1, 2010 [quote user="First Wizard"]As long as it is only as backup.[/quote]Backup and competition. McDonald is a bit overated- decent lad to bring on for 15 minutes to run at defenders and Curo is on his way out, so if either Martin or Holt went off the boil there is nobody really pushing them.

G 0 Posted January 1, 2010 He might be better than Martin now but he is 4 years older than Martin. Martin will go on to do big things IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smudger 0 Posted January 1, 2010 Lee Barnard has it all for a striker at this level and would undoubtedly produce in the Championship also in my opinion. I have been banging on about wanting City to sign him all season since Rickie Lambert and Grant Holt were signed up in the summer.I believe that Barnard who is obviously available on a cut price deal due to him stalling on signing a new contract would be great value for money and would give us a strike force which could compete at the higher level once promotion is achieved. I think if we got Barnard on a 3 year deal and he scored a few in his first year or so with us then you would easily be looking at a player worth £2 million plus.On the one occasion that I met and spoke to Paul Lambert (a few weeks after he became our manager), I said that I was a massive fan of Lee Barnard and that he would be fantastic value for money in January if he continued to stall on a new contract. I thought that although we kept him quiet when we visited Roots Hall a few weeks ago Barnard worked our back line incredibly well for an hour or more of the game with little support and no quality service from his team mates.I think Barnard is better than Jermaine Beckford and that he would score hatfuls of goals in a successful promotion chasing team!I believe that apart from Holt and Lambert that Barnard and Rotherham''s Adam Le Fondre (who is likely to have another couple of years on his contract to run) are the best strikers currently plying their trade outside of the top two divisions.I would be over the moon with this signing if it happens...

[:D][/quote]I''d agree with all of that. Very surprised no team took a punt on him at £250k If we can sneak this one through I would be very chuffed as in my opinion we would have 3 strikers all capeable at Championship level.

O.T.B.C 1 Posted January 2, 2010 Agreed Smudge, would be a good buy and really push Martin and our promotion charge.Failing that the Rochdale player, name escapes me, but we could offer Whaley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
