Canarychick 0 Posted January 3, 2005 According to gossip on ceefax Nigel Worthington is after Dean Ashton and Darren Bent, although last night it said Nigel Worthington was almost sure that Dean Ashton would be too expensive. What do you think? Now off to Carrow Road for the match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need a Manager 0 Posted January 3, 2005 So why on earth did Worthy even bother mentioning the players . All it achieved was to raise supporters hopes just to shoot them down 48 hours later , and at a time when the table looks gloomier than it has all season ..senseless : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why on earth did Worthy go public about wanting Ashton and Bent, only to say 2 days later that he can''t afford either? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What on earth was the point?? He knew before that he was bloody expensive. So why even mention him? It was ridiculous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,382 Posted January 4, 2005 Could it be because Worthy was trying to prompt the board into action? We can all see the exciting potential that one or two new faces could bring. Surely Worthy is no different! If we are to consolidate ; we need to slowly add genuine Premiership quality into the club. Brick by brick. Transfer window by window. That is prudence WITH ambition. So far we have a few - certainly Green, Hucks and Francis. But we need more- in key positions. He also knows that if we buy players in the £500k - £1m range then we will most lkely get Championship quality players. We already have several. So there is no point. Whether the board like it or can afford it- Prem quality costs big bucks! Prices are inflated. That is the nature of the league. Worthy was probably daring them into action.

GMF 719 Posted January 4, 2005 How about this for a prediction? We can''t presently afford either player at circa £3 million, but come next year''s accounts, we announce a profit of more than £3 million pounds !!! How p***ed off will we all be, bearing in mind they keep saying there is only £1.2 million to spend now ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
