Macnamee

Then you are clearly mental.

Fair point.

[juddie]

Not fussed by this. He offers nothing defensively and had one good game in three = passenger. Shame, he had potential, but he's not good enough IMO.

[tans]

I had a look on one of their forums and they were all creaming themselves over signing him. They also reckoned people on this forum were only slagging him off as he was leaving us, if they'd read back a bit further they'd see that 50% of posters here think he's useless.

Its all a bit strange, but who knows, maybe he'll fit in with their style of play a lot better than here.

Even Crewe fans said he was shit when he was on loan there.

FWIW i wont miss him, at least my heart rate during games will go down during games now

Not read all this thread so not sure if this has posted earlier.

Whats he worth? £250,000? £300,000? Less?

Lambert has tried to sign him a couple of times so there must be a good fee in January, and we need the money.

Certainly not bothered by him going. Macnamee has flattered to deceive for ages now. Always wondered why people have thought he has genuine pace and has been our main creator. His leg speed is quick but for whatever reason (probably his size) he does not cover the ground quickly and never beats his full back for genuine pace, I also agree with most that his supply of crosses are pretty inconsistent regarding their quality. I would far sooner have a fit Macklin than Macnamee, and had it not been for his injury at Brentford I think Macklin would have been first in the pecking order. Norwich will soon realise that he is a luxury player, maybe one that they can afford but we certainly cannot.

why do we need the money?

i wouldn't rate him at £250k + but then again it depends how much Norwich want him

[RobertT]

Because we are losing around £2.5m-£3m a year.  Our MO is to develop and sell young talent for profit, while imporving the overall squad.  We are working on 1 or 2 sales per year like this being the norm to help us improve as a club.

[jayohaitchenn]

I doubt we got much more than £100k for him. Only 6 months left on his contract.

I'm kind of halfway between hertha and juddie on this. On his day and in form he can be an exciting, creative attacking threat (although even on his best days, he doesn't track back and leaves you weak defensively). But when he has an off day he's just a waste of space - against Huddersfield, he wasn't even taking away one of theirs to mark him as he was just wandering around. And those off days have become increasingly frequent as the good days have dwindled. Whether that's because Norwich have turned his head, or he just doesn't fancy it here any more or he's actually got worse, I don't know, but it amounts to the same thing - he isn't producing for us often enough to merit a starting slot. And if someone else is prepared to offer money for him, all well and good. But I wish him the best of luck at Norwich, maybe there he can find the consistency to produce at a level we all hoped he would here.

I bet he turns out to be absolutely quality for Norwich and will be the next Brian Howard in terms of "remind us why everyone got on his back so much?" in 18 months.

Ten quid says he goes Grant Smith style mate. Up for that?

To be fair, that is exactly what I was trying to say.

You just use more words, you wordsmith you.

Or I just didn't read what you said properly, fuckwit that I am

[juddie]

good points, Paul. I wish him well.

But if by seeling him we buy Ferry, then that's great business IMO.

[The Artist Billy Paynter]

Ferry's crossing needs to improve though.
