Still don’t get this. Awful decision. Shows you how awful it is when most of us agree. Let’s be honest, that doesn’t happen too often.
Nah. I've defended the club all the way through but something does not add up here. Oldham beyond any club. Does he support them? Any connection I'm baffled. We need answers and I mean answers now. I get he's 32. I get he don't play a full 90 mins. But he scores goals and been most prolific in the pre season Something does not add up. This board need to speak and tell the truth before it ends up toxic around the well Edited: This Is no disrespect to oldham. You are a decent club but currently playing in the national league unfortunately. We have met on many occasions. I wish norwood and your club well
Very surprised at this - very strange given hes started preseason games and seemingly joked about leaving. I can only hope Collins had a say in it and he was fine with it, otherwise ill be bitterly disappointed in whoever sanctioned this if he wanted to keep him around. I'm baffled hes dropped so low down. I thought Wrexham was possible but not Oldham, he'd walk into most league one sides let alone league 2
https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/20232/august/norwood-departs/ That statement is awful. PR disaster this.
I am bemused with this, there has to be a big reason for this, I can't think what it is but this can't happen without there being one. I will wait to see what the plan is before I stop clapping fully.
I agree. The money Oldham will have paid us will be minimal unless they've secretly been taken over. It made sense he'd leave to Wrexham. I'm more baffled hes join Oldham. Fair play to em for that. Proper coup
Only thing I can think of is contract length and playing time. He is nearly 33. Say he's with us on 4k a week for the next year, but they offer 3k a week but three year contract (not seen length mentioned yet) it's longer term security for someone who can get injured any time. Easier standard for him and he should bang in 20 if he gets the full games he probably craves. He doesn't seem the type that's happy with a 60 or 30 min cameo every game.
Wow!!! what a shocker. Norwood was a starter every week for me. should have been on feom the start at Wembley. This is an unbelievable decision. Unless he was adamant he wanted to move (for whatever reason) I cannot understand why we would sell such a valuable player. Wow. V disappointed. Very.
What's weird about this one is the players decision. Why on earth would you drop to non league from league one? And if it's wages than what a sad state of affairs that is that we can't compete with a national League side.
Our current striking options: Cole - 6/10 striker at this level Watters - couldn't displace the bloke we've just sold to non-league Dallas - unknown quantity Leya Iseka - waster, hasn't had a kick in pre-season Shaw - couldn't even make the squad most weeks last season I hope Phillips, Connell and Kane have got their shooting booits on this season.
He can’t drive and gets a lift with Cole to training apparently. Still, that’s his call. The club has no excuse.
