    He pilfered Reverend Preedy's poor box.

    That's the only thing that would justify it imo!

    Strange move this for him on a personal note, I'm sure there's clubs higher up the ladder that would take him. He's obviously gone on a free, and got a signing on fee, but still

    Hopefully we got someone lined up so no panic yet......and please remember that when we first signed Norwood I don’t think anyone was overwhelmed on here, let’s see what we’ve got at end of window.....hopefully a new Norwood type

    The football club triggered his extension.
    When Duffy left and the new Coach took charge, he didn't fancy him.
    It happens all the time in football, coaches don't fancy players tell them to find another club.
    I find it bizarre, but I'm not the head coach.

    Because as it stood he was a BFC player, and would have figured in Saturdays game if he hadn't found himself another club.

    Do you get a crystal ball when you join these forums because every body seems to know why everything that happens behind the scenes at Oakwell before it happens.

    None of the top six have signed him. Nobody in this entire division or the one below it has signed him.
    Go figure.

    Surely we wouldn’t let him go on a free with him being under contract with us? Can’t see us recouping loads for him but must be something surely.

    We already had a Norwood type, James Norwood was his name. He was tried and tested.

    But balls to it, lets get rid of the guaranteed goals and workrate, lets take what is probably 150/200 grand and pis* that up the wall and some on a untested prem loan in a couple weeks' time.

    But if he's been training at Oldham all week we must have known he wanted to leave before that?

    Have you never thought that he might have been offered a longer deal mate, so gone for his own benefit like we all would

    Strange decision by the club and I think it’s highly unlikely that we’ll bring someone else in as his replacement. They’ll probably think we’ve got enough up top with who we’ve got which is slightly worrying. I just don’t see any of em setting the league alight with goals. Doesn’t fill me with much optimism, but happy to be proven wrong.

    Jam drop posted ,asked any sugestions.
    I didn't look into a crystal ball.
    That was my assumption of why he's gone.
    Might be miles off , it was a sugestion to why he's gone.
    If the club didn't fancy him surely they would not have triggered his extension.
    The only reason I think is the coach doesn't see him as his main striker.
