    Off to Norwich on loan with option to buy …. Someone else we can watch thrive at another club

    Looking forward to seeing how he does whilst safe in the knowledge that Bayo might get a shot on target soon.

    As per my comment earlier in this thread:

    Maybe he'll do well at Norwich, but I'm not disappointed.

    Tend to agree. Not seen anything really from him. Maybe slightly better than what we have but thats it in my opinion.

    Homegrown, and at 21 should be coming in to his peak years as a player - it's a great age for Harvey Price.

    Now that Norwich's season has finished, van Hooijdonk's predicted "thriving" at Norwich by RMT was playing a grand total of 138 minutes (including the playoffs) and scoring 0 goals.

    RMT said above: "I really hope im wrong and proved to just be a miserable git !!", so I think it's fair to update him with the fact that he was wrong and proved to just be a miserable git !

    And if anything my calling him "meh" was a bit generous.

    You really don’t need to do this. From speaking to you privately, you are decent!

    Please just stop with this historical ‘gotcha’ nonsense. Even if you are right, so what?

    You are a funny little person with a lot of time on your hands to keep track of all this …anyway, as long as you are enjoying yourself

    You said that you "really hoped" that you were wrong - so I thought you'd act a bit more pleased that your hope came to fruition!

    But I did enjoy writing these posts, so cheers.

    Other clubs, including those better run than ours, have flops...it's normal!

    I was thinking maybe the forum can have some electronic gold stars that can be given to him by moderators periodically. Might act as a pacifier.

    I always like this quote from Michael Edwards at Liverpool:

    There's 6 ways a transfer can fail

    1) The player might not be as good as you thought
    2) The player doesn't fit the style
    3) Manager doesn't like the player
    4) Player is played out of position
    5) Player has injury/personal problems
    6) Player isn't better than someone already at the club

    Even if you're 90% sure of all those being right then that's only a 54% chance of that transfer being successful (0.9 x 6)"

    Not that it makes much difference in this instance, but the probabilities are multiplied, so it's 53.1% i.e. 0.9x0.9x0.9x0.9x0.9x0.9 (assuming the events are independent).

    WillisWasTheWorst Its making less grammar mistake's thats important

    That’s a very good, succinct analysis. I think it would be perfect years ago when clubs/managers ran a definite first team, or ‘best eleven’. With the advent of the ‘squad game’ approach, I would certainly give less weight to #6 and probably a bit less to #2 and #4.

    Many fans fancied him, 100% bullet dodged. That loan would have been relatively expensive.

    Guess he was nothing more than back up then.

    Might have got more games if he had been there when Sargent got injured .
