Norwich interested in CMS (merged)

[B.W.]

We have struggled to sign even one striker of sufficient quality... why would we let our best striker go?

Agreed. Bridcutt going is the biggest worry for me.

 

[B.W.]

What's the point of 4 million quid in the bank if you lose your best player. I rather have good players than money in the bank. You can't go and watch a pile of cash on the Amex pitch.

Spot on... there really are some morons on here...

Because he is useless, and we could do with the money to get the quality required?

Because with the money from CMS, Hall and Noone. We could break our Transfer Record on a certain Striker. In Gus we Trust!

I honestly do not think we will sell him unless Gus has a replacement that he feels is a better fit for us.




...............or Norwich offer silly money.

An idiotic response in my view.

 

[B.W.]

Why? Surely if we signed Ricky Lambert, Shola Ameobi, Billy Sharp (all pie in teh sky I know...) or anyone with a proven record at this level surely you would be happy. CMS did not set the Championship alight last season and there are massive question marks about him fitting into the system

The problem with your statement is that you are ASSUMING we can just go out and get a replacement easily... this is CLEARLY not the case...

 

[Simster]

If this is true, I would rip Norwich right arm off. But if it is anything lower, then what we paid for him. Then we can tell them to f*** OFF!

Why would we do that? You need to think about this.

Even if NCFC had offered £3m, that is still MILES more than he's worth. Of course, none of it is relevant if we haven't got a proper replacement lined up in which case we wouldn't sell him, whatever realistic bid comes in. And if we can get a quality Premiership (or Serie A / La Liga) striker to replace him for a similar amount who is unlikely to get starts at his current club, then that is what we should do.

Personally, I suspect we will end up signing an underwhelming striker as backup to CMS & AB, and we will be stuck with £7m rated (by you) Sir Puffalot and his last-off-the-pitch, pretty-haired antics.

Well quite. And that isn't going to go down well with 22,000 hoodwinked season ticket holders when the renewals come up if we've finished 15th thanks to a lack of goals.

 

[pork pie]

Spot on... there really are some morons on here...

What, like those who actually think CMS is what we need to score the goals that will get us promotion?

When will the morons realise that if we can sell him, Gus will be able to get someone of the required quality?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Bit harsh, wouldn't say he's useless.... But the money will help if we can get what we're after.

If we sold CMS and were unable to bring in a replacement for a few weeks, this would be very short-sighted indeed. No doubt CMS would only go if Gus had a replacement lined up. Let's just hope that whoever that is he is better than CMS. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[B.W.]

Agreed. Bridcutt going is the biggest worry for me.

Yes, he is the absolute linchpin of our team... without Bridcutt, we are royally fcuked...

The point of £4m in the bank is to bring in a new striker or two. CMS is not our best player, how can anyone think that?

Your opinion... see 'moron' comment...

WHAT??

I hope we are not getting rid of Ashley Barnes!!

 

[Zebedee]

Bridcutt leaving would be awful; and I struggle to think how we would replace him.

Where did you get that impression? Gus has only ever said that he does not have the money to meet the cost, not that it is not available.

Maybe just maybe, we have a Replacement lined up and we could break our Transfer Record?! Gus said that the Squad will be trimmed down and expect Drama in these next Two Days. Don't you trust Gus and what he is trying to do here?!
