Lord Lambert 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Was definately the Doc that i saw outside Home Park in Plymouth so there is certainly some truth in the rumour that he may be moving on in this transfer window . Also confirmed by a mate who plays footie in the same team as Mariners son. Personally, I feel that it would be a mistake letting him go at the moment as he is playing well and by all accounts Whitbread is some weeks from being fully fit.

Mook 0 Posted January 14, 2010 I''m sure Whitbread hasn''t signed to be a backup player, and with Askou developing well and Doc''s contract being up, I can see this happening. Perhaps not definitely Plymouth, but I don''t think he''ll be at Norwich come 2010/2011. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having got and extra one in I really can''t see him shipping one out again this January. Maybe in the summer but not now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted January 14, 2010 I have a mate who follows them and knows a few people around the club and he seems to think its a load of bull and he''s heard nowt, might be true tho but he usually finds stuff out before i hear anything, saying that i''m not a Plymouth fan so dont even care Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMF 1,010 Posted January 14, 2010 Like any player in the last six months of his contract who hasn''t been offered a new deal, he''s free to talk to other Clubs and sign a pre-contract agreement for next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Lambert bought Whitbread cause he said we didn''t have enough CB''s at the club!So why now get rid of the Doc who is our best CB and more than likely upset the balance of the team!For the record, if we continue in our current rich vein of form and their aren''t any injuries, I can''t see how Whitbread (who isn''t match fit at the moment!) will get in the team!Some fans will never see the reality with the Doc and are blinkered by all the bullsh*t critiscism the guy gets!I''m glad Lambert isn''t as ignorant about football like all you Doc knockers appear to be!

Doherty is playing well at the moment and deserves his place in the side, but Doherty has criticism in the past because he has warranted it. The weaknesses in his game will probably show up again at some point if we get back to as higher level against better opposition, if they dont and he keeps this level of performance up then great he''ll stay in the side and be performiing well, but if he goes back to shirt pulling, poor distribution, and constantly dropping deep to sit on the edge of the penalty area dont think for a minute that Lambert wont replace him.

Yelloow Since 72 56 Posted January 14, 2010 This all started because of an e-mail sent to Sky Sports. No corroboration, just an e-mail. Now this comes up two days before a key match. Like Doc is really going to be in Plymouth now and will be back to play at Colchester on Saturday. That would leave City one fit RB and one fit CB (Nelson), with Doc rejoining at the last minute?It''s simply ridiculous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I really believe he was spotted in Plymouth, but he will certainly be thinking about his future and his agent will be seeing if anyone is interested.

Stevo 0 Posted January 15, 2010 Doc''s future will be sorted out once the season is over and both the club and the player take stock of the situation. If we get promoted and he continues his recent form for the rest of the season then I''m sure that both parties will be happy for him to stay on. If we miss out on promotion, then as one of the higher earners, I imagine he will move on elsewhere.He let his contract run out before and was a free agent only to sign a new deal during the summer. Will be the same this time round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted January 15, 2010 Are you sure it wasn''t a Doc double? He has a rather stereotypical type of face. A few years back there was a Big Issue seller in Norwich, who had a rather natty little song to help sell his wares, and he looked remarkably like The Doc to me. No offence intended to either party!
