Norwich after Crofts [merged]

[chinners]

The most important player at the club would be unthinkable to lose him

 

[theonesmith]

I would usually come up with an argument about how he's not actually very good, doesn't get involved anywhere near enough, and while being an effective captain isn't much of a footballer compared to what we've already got on the books. However, the idea that a championship club might want to pay £350k for him is so utterly laughable I won't bother.

Not debating here, but would genuinely be interested to compare stats of our midfielders- amount of passes, pass completion rate, tackle rate, distance covered etc

 

[Caveman]

Can see him going with Norwich in the Championship.

However, I know he is very keen on enhancing his International aspirations... by going to Norwich and potentially becoming 2nd choice, he "could" slip off the Welsh radar.

If as it's reported its a low six figure offer i'd hope we'd tell them to go stick it.

If we have any ambition we shouldn't be selling players unless the offer is substantially over the odds.

"What would Brighton fans know about being in the Championship?"

Yeah, we are such a tin pot club. A tinpot club who have got to more F.A cup finals than them.

Does a championship club really want Crofts? Yeh he's good for us but he hasn't been OUTSTANDING. Strange transfer i must say...

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

all teams need leaders dont matter what league your in

This could be a load of rubbish but my housemate knows someone who works at Norwich and he said Crofts was being shown around the training facilities yesterday.

Haha no I haven't seen her for a few days, I'l be sure to pass it on when I do

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Norwich are currently members of League One, having been relegated from the Championship in 2008–09. In 2010–11 they will play in the Football League Championship after securing the League One title. They were founder members of the Premier League in 1992–93, and played in its first three seasons, reaching the UEFA Cup 3rd Round, returning for one season in 2004–05. They first won promotion to the Football League First Division in 1972, and have played a total of 21 seasons in the top flight, with a longest continuous spell of nine seasons. Norwich have won the League Cup twice, in 1962 and 1985.

yeah they really have no honours at all.

They have more honours then us, I'm not doubting that. I'm just annoyed they are trying to make us sound like some club with no history.

"What would Brighton fans know about being in the Championship?"

Bit of a piss take them putting us in the same group of teams as Wycombe, Yeovil etc etc who haven't reached a level above league 1.

well if you look at it dispationately, we have had 4/5 years in the top flight and a few years in the second tier.

the club has in its history been predominantly third and fourth tier of the football league

Not sure if it's old news but Sky Sports are saying we've agreed a deal with Norwich.

I wonder how many people will utterly slate Crofts for a "lack of commitment" to Albion, compared to the s**t Murray got (and still gets) from some on here, despite STILL being an Albion player.

Oh sorry, I forgot. Crofts runs around a lot.

Just seen this myself. The lure of the Championship and extra money was too much. Despite Falmer!

On the plus side, it looks like GP is stepping up his interest in Prutton. A better play IMO.
