we tried to buy craddock

[S-Clarke]

There is no way a conference club would turn down £700K for one of their players. Pure madness.

 

Pards did say in one of his interviews after lambert arrived.

 

(something like this -)

 

''we could have signed a young striker for a similar kind of fee, but we felt this was the better option''

[OldNick]

I notice Salmon Rushdie has a new version of a book out the Saintanic Verses.

[benjii]

Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

 

Sorry.

 

I suppose there's a chance he would flounder at this level anyway?

[Gingeletiss]

750.000 squid.............that's a lot....IMO, or is this all a red herring!!!

[OldNick]

Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

Dont get crabby about it

[Torres]

how much did we give kings lynn for mark paul? I remember it was a then record fee for them back in 98

 

£75k, 3 buttons and a ball of string.

[J Bizzle]

Also, he's playing left wing for Luton.

[Armitage Shanks]

This is not the Plaice for this type of humour.

 

Bass-tards all of you.

ahhh Mark Peters, the next michael owen

[Channon's Sideburns]

ahhh Mark Peters, the next michael owen

 

Sid Owen more like...

I think if Saga had left in the Window we would have brought in Craddock and Gradel

 

I don't think the fee would be a problem but the limit on the wage bill might be - it could mean we have to get rid of Saga before we bring another striker

 

I half expect Saga to leave this week in a swap deal with Leicester with Gradel on loan to us and then Craddock coming in on loan from Luton

Yes please to the Leicester deal - a 30 year old player (a good one though) who wants away in return for a winger that tore up L1 last season and an exciting young striker.

[ecuk268]

I heard that he still has an 80's haircut - a sort of mullet.

[Thedelldays]

I think you can? kind of like a gentlemans agreement between the clubs.

 

Not sure if its changed, but Wolves did this sort of deal for Kightly a few years back.

 

3 month loan with an option to buy in jan iirc.

 

yep...i remember when buzacky went on loand from plymouth to QPR...who then paid plymouth a transfer fee in the january..

"an untapped Michael Owen because of the way he finishes and the fact that he's very quick and very direct. "

 

btw that's an amazing site, the guy must have incredible dedication to Norwich to have an up to date biography of a player who only ever had a trial at the canaries!

Dedication but lack of proof reading. Fotheringham, whom we had on trial before he signed for the Canaries, ends up being called Fotherington in this article....

I was thinking that too. The level of detail is way beyond! I wish we could a have a resource like that!

Agreed. We only want players who will give their heart and .....Sole :-)....to the cause!

[Secret Site Agent]

I'm floundering around, trying to get involved

[opthomps]

i think if he came in he would link well down the left and make a star out of fishmills
