Chris Holroyd Norwich

[BensGrandad]

When the deal appearred to be falling through on Monday I would assume Gus had a contingency plan to chase another player, so we may something this weekend.

 

[Gav1901]

I'd rather someone in by Millwall personally , we never know Holroyd might not be able to agree a contract with Norwich anyway but im still not happy at the whole situation.

Sounds like this could be happening Norwich City Football Club Fans Community - Wrath of the Barclay

Don't like that style of messageboard!

So messy , wouldn't be able to get use to that .

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It is pathetic why cant hemake a decision like an other human being he want to come or he doent simples

Isn't that what he is doing?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Bovvered?

 

[Brian Fantana]

It's not as if Holroyd was coming to be the main striker. Having someone in by Millwall is not a big priority, for me, because, by and large, Murray and Forster have been playing very well.

As BG said, I am sure GP has other irons in the fire, which he will pursue before Monday 5pm if Holroyd says no. Ultimately, we don't want to sign someone who would rather be elsewhere.

Last day panic again.

Other than to express the fact the people are getting worked up about a non-league striker, who was going to be 4th choice, not wanting to sign for us. It's not the end of the world...

 

[severnside gull]

Hmm....now let me see - Norwich (certs for promotion) or Brighton (fighting relegation)....where would I go?



simples



our doing a deal with Cambridge (leaked by them not us) woke up the competition and gave the lad a choice to make.

Fair enough

 

[Zebedee]

So far I've been really disappointed in the business we've done in this transfer window. Let's hope we don't come to regret it.

 

[severnside gull]

now....................has anyone signed that lad at York City yet?

 

[Brian Fantana]

Last day panic again.

I'm not sure about panic. Personally, I don't think we need another striker. Certainly not one here on a permanent contract. If we get injuries to Fozzie or Muzza then just dip into the loan market. Simples. No panic.

Possibly sit on the bench at the best or start the game! not so clear cut.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

no problems with that, but he either WANTS to play for us or not. Leaving the club dangling by the string toward the final few days of the transfer window when we could be looking at other options is a bit twattish is it not?

What would be twattish is the club not having other irons in the fire the minute they went public with their interest. Having no other interests when you only make an offer with one week of the window would be crazy.

This is not to say Gus et al haven't been ploughing other furrows.

Gus doesnt like doing stuff in January, he has said this. He has been forced into action this time because he's inherited a squad he's not happy with. He's signed a couple of players, but none of their contracts extend beyond the summer. Carole technically could not be here next week.

January is a silly month with over-inflated prices, and probably wages too. This season is a write-off, presuming we're not going to be in a relegation fight by the end of the season, so he's just tying us over until the summer when he will do some 'proper' business.

No need to panic.

I guess that is the way it works for most teams in this league, unless you are Southampton.

We don't have the cash to convince someone to join us and forgo any other offer before the window shuts. C'est la vie.

 

[BensGrandad]

The fact that the window closes on Monday is immaterial in this case as he doesnt appear to be the man that is going to change our fortunes for this season. Does the loan window open a week later which means we could bring in a striker to challenge for a first team place rather than one on the bench.

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Gus did say he had a list of strikers, and Holroyd was one of them.
