Summer Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

[john e]

Holt staying at Norwich? That's a fortnight wasted 'getting used to it' as john e told me to.

ok ok, i admit it i'm a busted flush,
if you get things wrong you should be big enough to admit it and hold your hands up which is what i'm doing,
 my hands are in the air right now but you obviously cant see them so you'l just have to trust me

i did think he was nailed on to be fair,
 i was also one of the posters who thought we would be signing a load of MON types, so happy to be proved wrong on both counts, in fact i'm more than happy and not a little supprised at some of the signings already and the players we have been linked to, its all looking better than i originaly thought

i did get a couple of things right last season re AM getting sacked and relegation and made a meal of it, so feel free to kick sand in my face over this one, i hope i'm big enough to take it

( i would also say that having got told of by Dave for winding people up over Holt, i never did post about him again untill now, so i'm not totaly insensitive )

What a load of old bollocks.

You'd think so but when Rodgers looks at his squad and having watched Andy Carroll power in a superb header for England, you'd imagine his first thought was we need a winger who can deliver crosses for Carroll. It's the one area they really need to fill.

Isn't that why they brought Downing for his ball in a bin crossing accuracy...

Fair enough john e, I was only poking you with a stick. I rarely remember who's right and wrong about transfers etc., but that 'Holt to Villa' thing of yours sticks in the memory because it dragged on a bit and, like most of us about most of this stuff, you were only guessing.

I agree it takes a big man to admit he was wrong.  That having been said.........

The only thing i know about Toby is that he's a young Belgium centre half who can play at right back.....

i'm all for accountability,
 if you make a big splash and go of shooting from the hip over a few pages, then it all goes tits up you should be named and ashamed as far as i'm concerned.
 just like you have done there with me


i hate it when posters go on and on about a pet subject and then when it turns out it was a load of bollocks you dont hear anymore, and they try and hide from the fact they ever said anything.

we should all be made more accountable for the shit we write on here

That was just a bit of nonsense banter, you can't really have swear words in your name as it would devalue the site and my kids might see

grant holt resigns for norwich

Doesn't resign mean Leaving?

It's amazing that something as little as a ' - ' can alter the meaning of a word 

edit: assuming that you meant 're-signs' of course 

[JJ-AV]

Alderweireld would be a coup. Not sure if he's any good mind, but he's highly rated.
