SEMTEX Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 £3m is a good fee for someone who isn't good enough to play in the Premier League anymore. Obviously it's irrelevant given it goes straight into the pocket of the fatman, but I still think it's a very good fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Well I think it's just another example of people's expectations being driven into the ground. £3m on a player is pocket change for Premier League clubs these days, yet to us it feels like a pretty big gamble for Norwich. He'll be a squad player for them at worst, and that's not a bad deal at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Anyway (FWIW) Mark Douglas says he thinks it's a loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Nowt to do with expectations for me. I think Jonas isn't good enough to play for us, and is very unlikely to get in the team given we have adequate depth in his position. For £3m we could replace him with a younger player who may actually become something. £3m is more than enough to buy a potentially talented player from some obscure team we've never heard of. Honestly, I'd prefer a handful of random Mbabu types than Jonas. There is no point in him being in the squad. Obviously we won't, but still, £3m is still good money when it comes to buying fringe types. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 A loan, however, would be fucking gash. Sell before they actually get to see him in person. Pls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the £40k+ a week savings on a player we have no interest in using cant be bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Nobody's laughing at Norwich paying £3m for a squad player are they? Theres just some surprise that we can get even £3m for a player that some believe isnt good enough to play in the league anymore and far from a useful squad player for us.

Besides that incredible comment, given Jonas ability, age and wages, I'd say £3m is a great deal on paper. (Provided that it is all invested in a new player....oh...)

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Really don't see the point of loaning him to a PL club, except to do him a person favour I suppose. £3m sale then happy days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Good for him, he can end his career there, if and when the move becomes permanent. I worry that they won't buy him though, or Ashley / Joe will not allow it to happen if they don't offer us a silly valuation. Really should not be an issue of him going there permanently though, he's done here. A great servant and one of the heroes who brought us back up. Gonna go down as a demi-legend.
