That's also a bit flawed I think, unless we already secure a price for him ahead of the

loan.

Comes it, scores a s**tload, price goes up or they decide not to sell him after all. If he doesn't do the business, then it doesn't make sense to buy.

Remember David Nielsen though. We should have kept him on repeated loans for years cos as soon as we bought him his production when down.

        Oh so you know that? (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 16:19:02
        
        No I don’t know that but I don’t want us wasting wedge... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 16:24:13
        
        So you're suggesting that we'll randomly spunk a wage structure-busting wedge on this lad? (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 16:31:41
      - 5 goals in about 50 appearances (although many of those must have been sub appearances) (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:13:48
    - And also give him a chance to show what he can do (or can't do as the case may be). (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:09:06
  - we let Maddison go to Aberdeen remember (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 16:00:00
    - So again we benefit Middlesbrough not our own club (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 21, 17:25:15
      - You dont think Aberdeen got anything out of it? (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 18:17:31
    - and Godfrey to Shrewsbury. Maddison himself says the Aberdeen spell was huge for his (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:04:22
  - It could be that we rate him more highly than they do (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:55:06
- If he starts banging them in I couldn’t give a shit ! (n/m) (NCFC) - colincanary, Jan 21, 15:50:45
- He is probably on a decent wedge... (NCFC) - colincanary, Jan 21, 15:46:26
- Try before you buy (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Jan 21, 15:43:47

- Strangely I was thinking about this when I posted about new signings just before (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:43:44
- If we are supposedly “building for next season” then loans are idiotic (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 21, 15:30:06
  - Because we’ve shifted Naismith for 6 months (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 21, 16:41:35
  - what does it achieve? (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 15:42:53
    - why not give one our youngsters a go instead? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 15:48:26
      - or get a nonleague ace like jamie vardy for peanuts? (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 21, 15:56:51
        
        disagree with that, finding another Vardy would be almost impossible (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 16:06:37
        
        He was taking the piss (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:14:44
        
        thanks for pointing that out (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 16:15:54
        
        Can we recall Cody? (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:57:37
      - I don't run the training sessions so I cant tell you (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 15:53:32
        
        I think that's unfair - Norwich fans have usually been very supportive of young players (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 16:04:52
      - Because it might do them more harm than good. (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 15:53:01
    - Precisely. (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 15:48:16
  - maybe the players we want are not available in this window (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 21, 15:41:06
    - And if they are, they would be far more expensive now than in July (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:45:10
      - The fans dont want to hear the truth............. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 21, 16:00:10
  - My sentiments exactly ... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 15:32:25
- Me neither,that said January is a bad time to buy so probably be better to spend the (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Jan 21, 15:25:16
  - All 10% of it that Webber is given ? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 15:26:28
- Less risk I guess. If he's useless we're not lumbered with him for 3 years (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 21, 15:19:31
  - Can see that logic but if we are building for the long term... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 15:25:58
