CDMullins 435 Posted January 8, 2010 Id imagine it will definatley mean the end of Jamie.Cody''s worth keeping for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted January 8, 2010 I very much hope not. Cody has not had a decent opportunity to prove himself yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjg123 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Can see us keeping him, we''ll need 4 strikers, and if we''re chasing a game being able to bring on Cody, Oli and Mcnamee would be brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WeAreYellows49 0 Posted January 8, 2010 I think JC is certain to go, but Cody may just be loaned out like Chrissy and a few others were in the past.Cody is too valuable to sell IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shack Attack 0 Posted January 8, 2010 I''d be tempted to send Cody out on loan to a League Two club for the rest of the season to see how he gets on. He''s not really getting much of a chance here at the minute and we''ll never see if he is going to make it long term as a professional if he doesn''t get any game time.

Lincs CR 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Oli Johnson already has league one/two games on his CV unlike Cody did before joining us. Maybe a loan move for young Cody to a league two side for the rest of the season, with a view to calling him back if needs be is the best move? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjg123 0 Posted January 8, 2010 If JC can find a 2 year deal somewhere he''ll be off, his contract is up in the summer and there''s the very real possibility nobody will want him then, especially if he gets injured. If he can get a 2 1/2 year contract worth more than the 6 months he has left (if not we can pay him off a little bit) he''ll be off. That said, I doubt anyone will offer him a 2 year deal so he''s better off staying here and hoping he can find a 1 year deal in the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Morriss 69 Posted January 8, 2010 '''' He''s not long out of non-league, he''s got quick feet, is quick and strong and hopefully he''ll do well for us."This statement by Lambo about OJ is a it worrying but he has also stated he''s building a squad of young hungry long term players, so that now gives us a strike force of Holt, Martin, McDonald and Johnson, presuming now that Cureton will be shown the door.I think its the perfect strike 4, cause u have the number ones in Holt and Martin and we now have 2 hungry young strikers behind them pushing them all the way.

thomasncfan 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Either Jamie Cureton leaves now or in the summer.... but I think Cody (getting back to the question in hand) will leave on loan to a league 2 club to gain experience until the end of the season, however Norwich will probably have the option of recalling him whenever they want to.

birchfest 397 Posted January 8, 2010 I think a loan would be perfect for him, hes got potential he just needs competitive matches to get himself sharp and scoring... but it doesnt help that our starters up front are on fire at the moment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He needs some serious game time to develop, but we need to be able to recall him after a month in case of an injury crisis.I can''t see Curo getting an English club due to his wages, so I suspect it will be a case of an overseas club or, probably more likely, pay his contract up as per Dejan.

motley7 0 Posted January 8, 2010 I don''t think he''ll be going anywhere. He''s always there or there abouts on the team sheet, and a good person to have on the bench. Good substitute for Martin, where as Oli, at 6ft and strong (according to the NCFC) would mean that we could actually take holt off for the last ten mins or so, rather than running him into the ground as we do at the moment...

No criticism intended of Cureton, the contract was a two way agreement. I wish him only well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted January 8, 2010 The more I think about it the more logical a loan out becomes. Beckford went out for a few months on loan after signing for leeds from non-league and he came back a goal machine after getting some games and experince. I think the same thing could happen for Cody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Lappin, King Of Spain 0 Posted January 8, 2010 "Cody could possibly be shipped out in league 2 on loan for experience." Agreed, would like to see him go and get some experience at a league two club and come back a much better player for it, a la a certain Mr. C Martin of Beccles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjg123 0 Posted January 8, 2010 it''s not as simple as that we are yellows - we can''t release him without paying off the remainder of his contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Need a squad and Mcdonald has been one of the most prominant squad players who hasn''t played regularly!Therefore its ridiculous to even consider letting him go!Curetons time is up I supect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjg123 0 Posted January 8, 2010 If we''re paying off his contract, why get rid of him? To pay off his contract means to pay hi the rest of his wages until it expires (this summer) so if he''s earning 8k a week, that''d mean paying him £192,000 AND leaving him free to join another club. We may as well keep him or hope he finds a club willing to pay him, say, 3k a week and then giving him 120k to leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We pay his full wages and he can go play for someone else? Stuff that, if we are paying him keep him here, you never know how many injuries we might get and hopefully a little of his experience and natural goal scoring gift can rub off on Cody, Martin and Oli.
