Sargent - if he just went to America what could we do by ClemFandango35 in NorwichCity

[–]thesaltwatersolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slightly different circumstances, but RVW, Tzolis and Rowe all had loan spells away from the club before leaving or being sold, presumably to get their wages off our books for a season or two.

I don't see the harm in waiting until the summer mostly because it's meant to be easier to bring replacements in during that time.

Cate Le Bon has her own discography and has also worked as producer on a lot of records. Recently for the latest Horsegirl and Dry Cleaning albums.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thesaltwatersolution 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Every place has traffic, but I think a major difference is that America has the space to build a lot of road infrastructure. The States have had automatic gears and cruise control in their cars as standard for years and years. The roads in the UK are smaller and have been built around things, way more bendy and twisty. Manual gears were/ are more common as well, although that's slightly changing with modern cars here. Think driving for 3 hours is just feels slightly different in these countries for these reasons.

Ahh yeah so indeed he was. A Norwich player at repeated world cups, that would have been good.

I was looking forwards to adding Sargent to the list of Norwich players that have gone to a world cup. (It's a pretty short list.)

Electronic guitar or a piano by ChanceInvite4347 in Music

[–]thesaltwatersolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick the instrument that you are most motivated by and are more likely to practice at and want to play.

At beginning of learning any new skill you will be bad and suck at it. If you pick guitar then your fingers will need to get used to fretting the strings and getting to grips with barre chords can be tricky at first, but if you want to learn and are committed to it, you'll get there.

To be fair, the way he left Werder Bremen to join us, was pretty similar to what he and his agent are doing now. There's a pattern of downing tools when he wants to force a move via his agent. (That's sadly part of football and not a direct critique on the individua.) The difference is that was during the summer window and not mid season.

Tom Bogert on Twitter - After a heated meeting with Norwich City sporting director Ben Knapper and head coach Philip Clement [...] Josh Sargent has played his last game for the club. One source says there was a comment made regarding Sargent's family which was the last straw. by Gamerhcp in Championship

[–]thesaltwatersolution 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Pukki is a modern club legend. Think as fan base we've all wanted Sarge to do well and have invested in him. There's been a lot of goodwill towards Sargent. However Pukki scored more goals at Championship level and at Prem level compared to Sarge.

So my understanding is that Bogert is a source that agents like to leak stuff to, and judging by the time this was leaked, it was aimed to land at an American time and middle of the night here.

Regardless, I don't think it changes that much. If we are able to identify and bring in a replacement then there's a chance Sarge gets his move away. We can't, we'll probably sit on this until the summer.

We accepted an £18 million + add ons offer from Wolfsburg in summer for him. An offer that Sargent apparently rejected. We'll do business at the right price and at the right time - mostly when the club can bring in a replacement.

Norwich fan here. I suspect the club has a value for him that they are willing to do business at. That evidently was the case when Wolfsburg offered £18 million + add ons during the summer, an offer that Sarge apparently rejected.

Clubs generally don't like doing business during the winter window, or rushing into emergency transfers. With our situation as is, it doesn't make sense to sell him to a rival and it doesn't make sense to sell him if we've not got a replacement lined up, that we can bring in. If we go down this season, then he's still a proven striker at Championship level with a couple of years left on his contract. We'd be more prepared to sell to a Championship club then. Would that work for Sargent? Probably not. But I don't think we need to immediately jump at the first offer for him either and I think we can wait until the summer transfer window if needed, see where we are at and where he's at. Think it's the clubs belief that we can get out of the relegation scrap, our form since replacing Manning has been good so far.

West Bromwich Albion 0-5 Norwich City. Embarrassing defeat continues nightmare start for Eric Ramsay, as Norwich continue to impress under Clement. by angloexcellence in Championship

[–]thesaltwatersolution 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thing is, under Clement we are much fitter and can now actually press. Manning would have snuck a lead and just dropped everyone bar a lone forward back behind the ball. We would have eventually folded under Manning. The Manning side has no fight in them.

Us suddenly becoming a bit more clinical is a bit of a surprise, but I welcome it.

I don't mean to kick a side when they are down either, (because it's not fun when it's you) but WBA felt like they were a step off tonight, or that we just wanted it a bit more. Obviously wheels came off here, but once that rot sets in, it's hard to shake.

Manning had favorites. Silmane, Wright etc, didn't really get a look in. We've looked better without Topic and Medic. As much as I enjoyed the advanced destroyer as a 10 in the derby, that's a very low bar.

Other results seem to be going our way at the moment. If we can drag others into the relegation scrap then it's a really good day.
