AidanC 0 Posted July 30, 2014 http://www.norwich.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=364812It seems clubs are looking into Ricky, which is good, I truly want him to do well at norwich, but a lone seems a good option this season, if by the article said doesn''t he want to play in the championship.

morty 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Yeah it was discussed yesterday, it sounds like its his agent trying to stir something up.I was told ages ago that it was the clubs intention to loan him out for the season, perhaps this is the wheels starting to turn in that direction.I''d be more than happy for him to stay though.

AidanC 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Apologies I didn''t see the thread, I would want him to stay as long as I knew he had a good chance of breaking in the side not rotting on the bench, his commitment is 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morty 0 Posted July 30, 2014 [quote user="AidanC"]Haha I like you morty - if we could sell him for 4-5m would you take it / expect the board to take it[/quote]No one would offer us that money.But if they did, I''d expect the board to rip their hand off!Lets face it, what we have on our hands is a striker that we''d all really like to come good, nothing more. It could have been "Hootun''s negative tactics" or maybe he just didn''t settle into the English game, who knows?But if we were offered that money we''d be daft not to take it, as much as I like the guy.

king canary 7,605 Posted July 30, 2014 I do still think we could get a few million from a team in Holland/Portugal/Turkey for him. I don''t see how us loaning him out really helps and I just see him getting bullied out of games at this level. Last season you could see he just couldn''t cope with the physicality and kept looking to ref for free kicks that he would have got in Portugal but not here.

Dubai Mark 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Even considering the tactics, he had a dire season and did miss a few sitters, had some poor matches and even had that pass to an invisible team mate.That all said and done, I too would still like to see him stay and deliver a good season for us. However, the best option all round must be a loan, in to the top tier of a league outside of England, where he can adapt easier, get his confidence back, score some goals and once again be a player other teams would pay decent money for.

The Great Mass Debater 1,090 Posted July 30, 2014 Ricky van Wolfswinkel’s agent, Louis Laros quoted as saying "the Championship is not the stage on which he plays football.”This really angers me when players get relegated and either they or their agent come out with this sh*t. Well Ricky, perhaps if you''d scored some f*cking goals you and the team wouldnt be playing in it.Every single player (perhaps with the exception of Olsson) earned their new status as Championship players. Olsson in my opinion is the only player last season who didnt perform.You cant get a club relegated by putting in consistently poor performances and then declare you are somehow above it.Ricky himself seems committed to the cause and not distancing himself from what happened last season, it seems to be standard BS from his agent - but players who have spent a year proving they are very much inadequate for the Premiership and need to drop down a level need to accept their fate and lose some of the arrogance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted July 30, 2014 Assuming he goes on loan to Portugal/Holland/Turkey, even if he has a good season his value won''t increase that much as he still won''t have achieved anything in a big league. He''s already scored goals in cr*p leagues and nobody is going to risk an outlay as large as the one we made. I think our best bet is to keep hold of him, especially if Hooper gets prised away from us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again Portugal or Turkey else? German middle engine could also very well be Sjoerd Siemes Did not fit into the system of Nowich and thereby failed, in Portugal he was fine Ron Schrievers Mediocre striker. Short of the major league clubs that play championship and foreign clubs really do not run hot for him. sarry move No ajax had an Icelandic striker who was much better Kees Van Houten Pffffffff overrated striker. all Nothing! Patrick Nieuwenhuijzen Then there is need to do more, he had Sjoerd Rutten Last year many MotD seen on BBC. I think he scored the 1st game of the season, often had bad luck, was sometimes used incorrectly, but he''s also missed opportunities ... aj aj aj ..... But hey, this year''s 15 goals in the Championships and no beeps are still to Rick Kuiter Know his father personally and he is just one player in the 16 as he is deadly out there and a lot less Wouter W Good player but Norwich was the wrong choice. Those are ''kick and rush'' clubs and he does not fit through his physical. Ronald Nijland Clinical striker, who will come to the bin. John Luten Just a very good player who last season was unlucky. He proves himself still, even in England. Bart Hoving Dutch club Feyenoord and Vitesse would have. But for those clubs, I think he''s still too expensive. Rob de Haan This article states that there is no interest from the Netherlands. Deserves probably too much for Dutch clubs. Proud of the Netherlands Good player has not done badly in Portugal is very injury prone unfortunately. Ferdinand Lautenbag Heavily overrated footballer this. Think ''The Championship'' is still too high ... Mark Doeland Simply go back to the Premier League guy. I''d like to see play as Sightórsson is finally sold him. Ajax Kees Van Houten Noooooit Ajax!!

MulberryboyNCFC 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Can anyone confirm if RVW has ever scored more than 10 league goals in a season? Excluding youth football. Excluding penalties.If not, we can probably put the whole "he was prolific in x, y or z...." comments to bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joanna Grey 0 Posted July 30, 2014 The club will not them him go for 4 to 5 million, that''s too much of a loss. Better to loan him out somewhere in Europe and hope he rediscovers his goalscoring touch. We then either take him back for our return to the PL or sell him at a profit.

A season-long loan might see van Wolfswinkel''s value go back up somewhere near the £8.5m we paid, but it might fall even further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canaries Web 0 Posted July 30, 2014 " Wouter WGood player but Norwich was the wrong choice. Those are ''kick and rush'' clubs and he does not fit through his physical. "Since when have we been a kick and rush team? Not sure we had the quality in midfield to get the right ball to RVW at times last year maybe. He makes all the right noises on twitter so let''s hope he stays and proves his worth. After all the championship is a better standard than a lot of European leagues.

wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted July 31, 2014 I''ve said it before and i''ll say it again RVWs game is all about movement and timing of the delivery, something that rarely happenned under CH, too much went through snoddy, who, despite being our top scorer , was like the ball hog in the playground and was all about himself, ''on the ball,hold on to it, delay,check back,delay pass again, oh dear the penalty area is full of defenders, might as well lob one in as i''m up a blind alley and let ricky try to scrap for it....oh that didnt work, i''ll try the same again in a few mins.''.....maybe thats why NA was prepared to let him go. Quick incisive passing will provide chances, ball hogging slow wingers will not.From the games i saw RVW was often moving in to space when the ball SHOULD have been delivered , but wasnt, how the hell can he score in those circumstances.....we may well play a completely different game this season compared to last...i certainly hope so. i bet ricky does too.
