When did they every have a young worldie? They never did. Just lots of old, strong, hard working average players. We have a gem. Hoolahan will retire soon. Sell Redmond, we have noone who can create or take on a player. I don't see the reasoning. We have a chance of staying up, and raking in all that money next year. I wouldn't use such a hot young English prospect for bringing in more old hoof and hold player so we can become what stoke were. Stoke would have loved a Redmond option. That's why they are after him now!We are a few years ahead of them!
that was my point, stoke built a team that was the right fit for where it was, and now that they are more settled and stable, brought in a new manager and started buying a higher quality of player, presumably who now seem more willing to play there. I specifically said to ignore the hoof ball, its not the style of football, it the way the club managed growth to get to where they now are.
I don't see why you can't build that kind of side (face it, we have: Tetty, Mulumbu, Howson, ONeil) Why can't we have one young exciting prospect in the club for something a bit different, and to give some excitement to the crowd. Let's not sell all the excitement out of our club.
If Afobe goes to that fecking tin pot ****ty club in OAP land after we refused to sell them that useless fecking good for nothing ****er Grabbarse who can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo, I will be fecking livid and McNally and the board will get both barrells from me on here and on Twitter That is all
oh i agree id like to keep our promising future players, but theres some cold business logic needed to i fear. Redmond is going to be wanting an England call up soon, as hes 22 in two months, so the u21 shop window hes been in wont be there any more. Is he going to attract the necessary attention playing with us? I would suggest history says probably not. So if hes thinking of a move and the money seems good for Norwich, what do we gain by keeping him? I dont know the guys mind, but i'd be thinking that i want to make the step up now, and with the england side being full of youngsters, this is the time to start showing what you can do, preferably with the better support players and greater media focus a bigger team can provide.
I once scored 8 in a season in 6 a side football, from having to play as a defender all season.That never happened again. Don't think I got above 4 other than that. We all have our season in the sun.
Leicester are the exception rather than the rule however. I think redmond will probably base decisions on the rule rather than the exception, and he'd be smart to do so. we bought him for 3 million, if we can sell him for 15m after 3 years i think thats about right. We aren't a 15million player club yet. Look at our supposed shopping list, its all around 7/8.
Not in the Premier League he didn't and before you remind me that Afobe has never done so either Dave, the main issue here is attitude. I don't like Grabban, he's burnt his bridges with me and I cannot wait until the day he walks out of Carrow Road for good, he's a tosser !
I still say we can bring in the players we need around him, rather than sacrifice him for those kind of players.
For what it's worth I'm a Redderz fan and would be gutted if he left, especially for my most favourite other club (not), Liverpool.
Whilst I'm not a huge fan of Redmond and am starting to believe that the promise may not be fully fulfilled, I don't see the benefit in selling him. We already appear to be struggling to attract players of a high caliber, so if we can't spend what money we seemingly have how could we even replace him with significantly better? We don't need to sell, so let's hold out for an obscene amount of money or hold on for a bit. Bah!
Just need about 8 million of a decent defender, another 12-15 on a striker. I think we can outlay that, stay up and get next years tv money.
Exactly my sentiment. We can build solid around flair. We can't bring in that kind of talent, so why be so ready to get rid of it!?
