DOGGER 0 Posted December 22, 2010 http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/norwichcity/fb_news.php?storyid=10505&title=city_interest_in_gary_madine Anyone know much about this guy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matty27 0 Posted December 22, 2010 Yer didn''t he score against on the last game last season?Also he was on loan at Coventry last season, apparently a talent just has big attitude problems according to my Cov supporting mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted December 22, 2010 I must admit that he caught my eye in the last match of last season when he scored for Carlisle and I''ve seen a couple of his goals this season aswell on the FL show. Looks a tall, strong forward, could be good back up for Holt and coming from Carlisle surely wouldn''t kick up a fuss about possibly having to initially sit on the bench?

DOGGER 0 Posted December 22, 2010 Doesn''t sound like someone PL would want then unless the attitude is more of a confidence thing similar to Chrissy Martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted December 22, 2010 Further research ( Wikipedia !?!?) has shown that he is 6''5" from Gateshead and was arrested earlier this year on supspicion of assault........sounds like a carbon copy of Andy Carroll !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
judderman 0 Posted December 22, 2010 I''d like the look of him. Good young player with recognised potential, and has just started scoring regularly since the end of last season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted December 22, 2010 Journalism fail....At 6ft 2ins, Morrison has the height much needed in the striker pack, and an excellent pedigree with a total of 98 league goals since signing for Northampton in August, 2001, a total of 194 games, or an average of 1.98 goals a game.That would make him better than, um, anyone ever.

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted December 22, 2010 Madine is a younger and cheaper option that Morrison, albeit the latter has shown he can deliver at championship level. Either as an addition to Holt would be great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, it''s still a pretty good ratio of a goal every two games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted December 22, 2010 We don''t have the finances to go out and add players who are proven at this level to our squad, it''s got to be a case of Lambert identifying somebody from the lower leagues or somebody from above available on the cheap whom they''ve believe can step up at City.Proven Championship strikers generally will come with 7 figure price tags before wages have even been considered.I can''t see the club paying upwards of £1m for a player who will be coming in as cover/competition for Holt rather than as a replacement.

Yelloow Since 72 53 Posted December 22, 2010 I would agree that Morrison would be too expensive. The rumour of a deal for Austin, with OTJ and Johnson going the other way, sounds plausible for a more proven striker. That failing, Madine (6''3" in the Carlisle profile) could be worth a punt as back-up for Holt while retaining Johnson. I would bet on Lambert sorting out any attitude problems!
