Steven Naismith

Really? Like where?

Norwich definitely.

Really? Like where?

Villa, Newcastle, Swansea, Bournemouth, Norwich, Sunderland, West Brom

It would be a win-win for both sides. He'll get more playing time in Norwich, we'll get ~8m and I think we should be happy with that. As someone above said, he had a pretty nice spell with us, but it's time to move on.

Great guy and always one of my favorites because of his work rate, just wish he was better at football. Hope he has some success wherever he ends up.

 

[ijjysmith]

An attack? Seriously.
People can think what they like and have whatever opinion they want...not sure why you've bitten, but you're way off the mark.

Well you've said people post 'ransom swear word' in the match thread. So what?

I liked him. Now I'm not so keen.

Basically this.

You've lost me.
Do people not post absolute guff in the match thread? Is it all quality dialogue in there?
I'm pleased you changed your opinion of him, shows your flexibility.

I hope you didn't suggest that I was comparing him to Cahill.

Nah, someone above your post said we liked Cahill for being a snide.

If he leaves us I wish him well. Imo he can look back on a good spell with us. Always 100% commitment and scored some very important goals for us. That we can't guarantee him game time anymore says a lot about the way our squad has improved under Martinez. Won't hold that against Naisy, but in all honesty it's probably in his best interest that he moves on. That is if he's not content with a place on the subs bench.

i like how he says he watches from the bench and enjoys watching our youngsters excite, total opposite to mirallas' attitude, yet more of our fans seem to be willing to support mirallas.

big sam would love him

The manager could have sold him during the summer but turned down a bid that many supporters would have gladly accepted, the player himself was willing to go.

What has changed since then ?...nothing.
Unless there is a player the manager wants and can get then I don't see anything happening until the summer and I
think he will leave then.

Probably because Mirallas is an actually good footballer and a bit of a knob, whereas Naismith is a top lad who's a crap footballer.

the everton way haha it's definitely the reason.

He'd be just as much a squad player at all of those, maybe with the exception of Bournemouth, as he is here.

In the team when he's on form, on the bench when he's not.

Kone remembered how to play football and took Naismiths spot as backup striker.
