City Of Norwich FC - ncfc_Tooze

Well I can't say I would be surprised but if anyone was paid more than Holt this season, I can see why he would want a raise. He was our best outfield player last term, so hence his salary should reflect that. Howson could be on that much, very good player.

Would you take £6 million for Holt Tooze?

yes, snap there hands off

See I think it could be a double edged sword. £6 million for a 31 year old who has had one good season is a lot. But Holt is a lot to this club. He won us the second most points in the league with his goals behind Van Persie. He is a big influence and I think he would be very hard to replace. And then we would need two new strikers to come in, and for me Rhodes would have to be a must buy.

Thing is, Norwich could now offer Holt £35k but the damage is done.

Same with Ashley Cole, agreeing a £60k deal at Arsenal then being told he's only worth £55k, so he arranges a move to Chelsea on £90k. A real inspiration to all of us.

In fairness Cole is worth 90k, Holt isnt worth 35k imo

Holt is the top English Premier League goalscorer behind Wayne Rooney, he'd be worth the money for his goals.

I can't see Holt doing it again to be honest (sorry olly!)

Marky wrote:Holt is the top English Premier League goalscorer behind Wayne Rooney, he'd be worth the money for his goals.

Add to that the fact wages have gone up since Ashley Cole left Arsenal, £35k back then (5 years ago) would be more like £25k anyway.

True Marky, but £35k could get you many players younger than Holt

even if he stays he should be stripped of the captaincy for the way him and his agent have handeled themselves

I think Holt for Norwich is worth stumping the money up for. The damage is done I agree, that is why he will probably go. But I would pay him that, he has won player of the season the last three seasons here, he has such a big influence on the club. He is the captain, and I think he is our inspiration on the pitch sometimes. And what he has guranteed for us over the past three years is goals. That would be hard to replace IMO

ncfc_Tooze wrote:even if he stays he should be stripped of the captaincy for the way him and his agent have handeled themselves

I think it is more his agent than Holt. His agent is a grade A...

Spoiler:

Gregers wrote:True Marky, but £35k could get you many players younger than Holt

That doesn't really come into it. If you're a chairman, you pay a player what he's worth to your club. A 21 year old might get a longer term contract than a 31 year old but the wage would be the same if their value to the club was the same.

Age would only really apply to transfer fees.

Either way, with Nadz outgoing I've been led by Hero to believe that there is a team free...

Das is richtig Gregers.

Well after some consideration...

Welcome to Hangover 69

Not sure when you officially take over, it may be Friday, you'd need to PM Nadz.

Will pm him Marky, currently trying to flip their logo to be 69 rather than 96. Stadium name to be announced although the capacity is a few too many

Welcome to the league officially Gregers

And on Holt, I think his goals will be massively hard to replace. Especially on our budget

can we change the names of our teams?

Gregers, remember how the other day I was moaning how Crawley Town hadn't arranged a friendly with Brighton...

http://www.crawleytownfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,11025~2817097,00.html

Friday 10th August at 7:45pm at Broadfield Stadium.

£9 for an adult on the terraces, £4 if you pass for an Under 18. Bargain IMO.

Are you off the wagon Bull?

Well, that decision depends on how old my baby son is by then...

First two friendlies (Peterborough and Millwall) are end of July, probably miss them and see Charlton at home (August 1st) and Brighton.

You can do what you like, it's your team.

Bent Edge United

no lol.

dunno need to think first ill get back to you soon.

Started voting then accidentally closed the tab

I'll do it tomorrow.

RONALDO!!!

What a goal! Thats why he's the best player in the world.

Messi says hi.

I think Ronaldo's better than Messi, always have.

Messi's 3/4 years younger and will accomplish more than Ronaldo. But I don't care because I don't like either of them.

Ronaldo > Messi

When you're good youre good age don't matter and it's not a guarantee that Messi will achieve more.

Messi needs to win the WC otherwise he will always have that doubt over him.

Last year Messi was getting bummed in Copa in his home country didn't even score a goal no one even mentioned it, Ronaldos first two games he was crucified by all. He is always fighting a losing battle against Messi with all the anti Man Utd and Madrid fans.

Was it Hero who said that they show Messi with UNICEF and Ronaldo living the stylish lifestyle. Messi is an arrogant fool, the way he cries when someone tackles him fairly he thinks they don't deserve to make a tackle.

Because Messi looks like a troll and is a midget his bum chums feel the need to love him harder.

Viva Ronaldo

i see it was Mouthino's cross which led to Ronaldos goal.

I also saw it was his only meaningful contribution in the whole game.

I think what makes Ronaldo better than messi is that he's proven his quality in both the premiership and la liga.

Guessing the year on Radio 1's Golden Hour on the first song because it was Dario G's "Carnival de Paris" from World Cup 98

Very surprisingly good mood today.

I don't think it matters which league a player has done it in when comparing

Messi > Ronaldo in my opinion
Ronaldo may be more complete because of his physical attributes but if I was making a team from scratch Messi would be picked ahead of Ron.

He's vital to his club, you only need to look at the goalscorers list to see Real could probably survive without Ronaldo, but where would Barca be without Messi?

Morning

I think Moutinho played well yesterday.

Sodhat, but I could say Jeff Hendrick is crucial to Derby, he runs their midfield. Doesn't make him better than Messi though

onlytreblewinners wrote:Sodhat, but I could say Jeff Hendrick is crucial to Derby, he runs their midfield. Doesn't make him better than Messi though

No, but Messi is crucial to the best club side in the world dragging in countless medals, there is a massive difference.

You could argue the case that Xavi is as crucial to Barca.
Also the 'best club side in the world' failed to win their domestic league.

Hero wrote:You could argue the case that Xavi is as crucial to Barca.

Don't make me list their titles from the past few years!

I realise I'm probably fighting a losing battle against a sea of United fans, but Messi will always be > Ronaldo in my opinion. Xavi is a key player too, as is Iniesta, but Messi is the one finding the positions, finishing the moves and in some instances creating something out of nothing all on his own. They rely on that a great deal I'd say.

If I was making a team Ronaldo would be there before Messi, I can expect him to score goals and make an impact regardless of the style the team plays. Messi needs the team to be in perfect tune for him. I don't see him doing it for Argentina even with all the top quality players they have.

Ronaldo > Messi
