I remember he came here with a lot of hype and was expected to get a lot of goals

I was 11 at the time and I?ve never seen a striker look so clueless as he did at times. I guess I had been spoilt a bit as times I?ve been to Carrow Road before that we had Fleck, Robins, Ekoku or Sutton up front.

    - we were pretty much safe at new year (n/m) (General Chat) - SCC 28, Oct 23, 14:27:51
    - Agree with that. Kind of doesn't matter to me where the 3 points come from (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:27:40
      - It doesn't mean that we don't win by playing better than the opposition - often we do/did. (General Chat) - Higher Wrather, Oct 23, 14:33:12

      - Around the ?1.5 million mark. (n/m) (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:19:03
      - Oh, ?1.5m is the figure suggested (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:16:35
        
        i thought it was a decent buy at the time too,from what i've read csp did as well tbf, (n/m) (General Chat) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Oct 23, 14:20:54
        
        I did and still do. I'm just unsure about his motivation. (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:23:58
        
        agreed. (n/m) (General Chat) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Oct 23, 14:40:05

        That's just one game and I still think he looked very weak in certain situations (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:45:39
        
        Let's hope he kicks on. (n/m) (General Chat) - jafski, Oct 23, 14:55:32
        
        I hope so and I'm sure that he will. He's not a bad player but has looked under par (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:57:23
        
        Yeah, we wouldn't get much better for that price. (n/m) (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:20:07
        
        Thing I've got in my head about Turner is, Hull sold him to Sunderland for ?8m (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:20:47
        
        Wit Turner they finished on 35 points, without him only five less (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:30:00
        
        True, I guess that's why it's only in my head (n/m) (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:31:55
        
        I don't know if you were alone in that, I also thought that way around 2010 (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:39:39
        
        never been that interested in a player?s past since Mike Sheron (General Chat) - Brandonio, Oct 23, 14:43:26
        
        Then he went on to be good elsewhere, and had a 3 year deal at Barnsley (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:50:46
        
        I remember he came here with a lot of hype and was expected to get a lot of goals (General Chat) - Brandonio, Oct 23, 14:53:17
        
        I agree though, was completely gutted when he turned out to be crap for us (General Chat) - pants, Oct 23, 14:52:00
        
        although not the best example as his best form was after us (General Chat) - Brandonio, Oct 23, 14:48:07
        
        This is an excellent example (n/m) (General Chat) - Common Sense Police, Oct 23, 14:46:20
