Norwich after Crofts [merged]

[Twinkle Toes]

It's an internet message board. I thought it was agreed that EVERYTHING on here is opinion.

Unless it's FACT, of course..

 

[public school boy]

Can we offer them Navarro instead.

 

[The Large One]

Eh? How's getting 6/10 200 times proving yourself? (JOKE!)

By proving yourself, I mean rising to the top level of league one players, before he makes the step to the Championship.

By your logic, Andrew Whing is ready for Championship football.

Well, that's what he was doing before he joined us.

 

[Acker79]

Calderon goes and many people on here have faith that Poyet will find an equally as good or better replacement.

Why not that extend that faith in Gus in the event Crofts goes whether he sticks with hendrie/navarro/dicker/arismendi or goes for someone else? I don't think we saw the best out of hendrie and arismendi, so them staying doesn't worry me based on their performances in the last few weeks (not that hendrie's were particularly bad)

 

[Igor Gurinovich?]

if as reported its 350k, then i would move him on for that..

 

[Silent Bob]

If we sold him for a decent fee and replaced him with Hendrie I'd be fairly happy with that.

Hendrie is a bit of an unknown in that he probably wasn't fully fit in his loan spell, whether he ever will be is the question. If he could be then I think he'd be a lot better than Crofts.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

But Hendrie isn't out player is he and neither is he likely to be.

 

[Silent Bob]

Why not?

In any case there are many players I would be more upset to lose than Crofts.

 

[Scoffers]

I see the problem being, can we attract someone better than Crofts? £350k really isn't all that much these days.

 

[folkestonesgull]

The risk is we start to sell too many players and we end up with 5 or 6 new starters in the team, we don't 'gel' and by christmas our season is over (again)...
I thought Crofts was a vital component of the team last season - he may be a consistent 6 or 7 out of 10 player but by being so he allows other players more freedom such as Bennett. Selling him would be a huge risk

 

[algie]

Crofts is a far better team player then Hendrie.I'm still not even convinced with Hendrie.He just another past it player picking up his last wages.

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Why the HELL would they be after him?! He's a long way off championship standard.

 

[sir danny cullip]

The damage will all depend on whether Gus has someone lined up to replace him.

Crofts is your classic 'don't miss them until they've gone' type player, laughable to think that Hendrie could replace him as they do completely differnet jobs.

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

i thought we are trying to build a team for the next step up if we let players like crofts go it will be a backward step

Nail-on-head. If we lose Crofts, any chance we had of challenging next season will decrease dramatically.

CORRECT

it's a BIZARRE rumour

 

[HP Seagull]

Crofts is the one player, maybe one of two if you include Bennett, that we cannot afford to lose this summer. He is absolutely pivotal to our team, which revolves around him, whether some people notice it or not.

 

[portslade seagull]

Thought Hendrie was on his way to QPR

 

[The Wizard]

Crofts is the one player, maybe one of two if you include Bennett, that we cannot afford to lose this summer. He is absolutely pivotal to our team, which revolves around him, whether some people notice it or not.

Go on then, how exactly is he 'pivotal' to the team? What does he bring to the table more than others for example.

Crofts most important contribution to the team is his goals, no reason why Hendrie couldn't match that. Hendrie or plenty of other midfielders in the bottom two leagues.
