Chip20 69 Posted July 11, 2011 [quote user="ChelmsfordCanary"]Quite alot of people on here hate Cody, well your entitled to your opinion..... I personally think we would be idiots to let him go for 500k, I say loan him out to a championship club give him a chance to prove he can compete at that level.If he has a good season his price will almost certainly go up to well around 1 - 1.5 million.Why let him go now for 500k, pennies in todays transfer market we might as well keep hold of him.The people slating Cody are probably the same doubters that said Holt could is not a Championship striker!!!!You will all be gutted if we sold him to a championship club for 500k and then he bangs in a hat full of goals and his proce goes up to in the millions.Jesus, far to many people slate players on here, give the lad a chance at another club, we dont have to sell him.[/quote]If we loan him out to a Champs club and he bags 20+ goals then he walks into that or another club for a free at the end of the season.

Indy 3,300 Posted July 11, 2011 People o on about doubters of Cody on here, but at the end of the day, the manager doesn''t rate Cody and the management team will value the player at whatever they thing fit.This 1 million plus rubbish is laughable, he''s only evern scored in the lowest league, he''s 25 and in the last year of his contract.Does anyone really think he will be given a chance here?For his own benefit he needs to make a fresh start elsewhere and we need to be realistic with our valuations.....

It''s you, I just noticed, the one who seems to spend all day and every day trawling through other''s posts with your microscopic eye looking for things to dispute. You''ve done it to me before and, I have since noticed, to others. I envy your postings count, by the way, Sir/Madam. This information, revealed by McAnthony, suddenly came out of the blue. Yet he claims that they had been after Cody for no less than six weeks. This is what seems unlikely to me, ie. that this would have remained unrumoured or unreported for that length of time. The World of Football does not work like that. No doubt there was an element of truth in what he said, but if they had made a formal offer, then we would have been made aware of it in some way, shape or form. Why should McNasty have wanted to remain silent about it all for six long weeks in any case? Making these "bids" public may have instigated an auction. Posh bidding for a Norwich player is hardly a state secret. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UEA Canary 0 Posted July 11, 2011 In response to the opinions that Cody wouldnt accept a new contract and a championship club wouldnt want him on loan, firstly Peterborough clearly want him so why don''t we loan him to them, push aside the dislike we have for the club. And secondly I think Cody would sign a new deal on the basis of an increased salary and with there being a reasonable release clause in his contract of around £1.5million, which you would expect to be met if he had a decent season with goals in the championship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cody''s contract has just one year before he can leave as a free agent, which he will. If you are suggesting we get him to sign a new contract now, then it might work, but what''s in it for the player. He has no chance of being first team at Norwich, he faces a future of being shunted around from one lower league side to another and the prospect of a Bosman windfall is further away. I should think he would like to settle somewhere. Loans are out. We have to sell him ASAP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your last comment was both insulting to me and to others and ill-informed in it''s own right. Perhaps you should read my last posting on this thread again and take it in. I note that you have upset somebody else on this Board as well today. What are your motives? You''re certainly no sage yourself, made clear by many of your postings.

ricardo 7,395 Posted July 11, 2011 He is worth whatever somebody will pay but I can''t see us getting much more than £350K top whack. Somebody will have to be pretty desperate to pay £500K+.If he''s still here in January I doubt we''d get anywhere near that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
