CONFIMRED - Oliver Norwood

[mr_number]

Would I be right in assuming his nickname is/ will be 'Junction'?

[From Despair To Where?]

Thought he was on a four year contract?

Dunno, just going by what others have said on this thread, although I do think Guthrie moving on is probably in his and the club's interests

Given that this is something like our 8th consecutive speculative punt on a player we don't need from a club who don't seem to be sad to see him go, its really hard to be enthused by this one. A million pound speculative punt at that.
It seems so long ago now that we were stealing Sidwell from under the noses of Brighton - what has happened to our scouting team?

[Hoop Blah]

Steve Sidwell who was speculative punt on a young player for a relatively healthy fee at the time you mean?

OK who is next in line for royals contract????

I find your use of emoticons confusing.

I remember a very inexperienced Nicky Shorey starting for the first time..............

Not sure it's fair to call Karacan injury prone, he's had two bad injuries as a result of tackles. For me an injury prone player is one who breaks down a lot in training, pulls muscles easily etc, not one who gets attacked by Leeds players on a regular basis...

I've always regarded Karacan as lightweight and was expecting another injury. I think it's partly because he's so full hearted and ferocious so is definitely someone likely to pick up injuries to me. But I agree with your definition of injury prone
