Glad to hear Korey Smith has gone to you guys - decent side who like to play football from what I've seen. It's only a short loan but i'm sure if he does well he should stay the season. If he's a regular I'll hopefully pop up to watch him, as I live in Sheffield. He's a good young player...already 20 (21 next week) so he isn't a teenager anymore, but hasn't had tonnes of first team experience, particularly in the last 12 months. I'm confident he will definitely end up a good championship player, maybe better, and hopefully he will do a job for you. He's a classic midfielder...he can score, but he's not an attacking midfielder, he can tackle, but I wouldn't call him a defensive midfielder. He played on the right hand side of the diamond for us, and could do a job out wide, but I would say in the centre next to a playmaker would suit him perfect. I expect him to develop into a box to box type who can spread the play well and pick up a few goals a season. Anyway, I've also compiled a little video of some of his highlights (which it's hard to find as a non-attacking midfielder, a lot of the most impressive play doesn't find its way on to season review DVD unless it ends as a goal) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPq-hgJ8VOA
Cheers for that mate Sounds like just what we're looking for. I'd say best of luck for the rest of the year, but I don't think you need it. Another amazing season you're having.
Thanks for that mate! We play 3 centrally, we already have our defensive minded player, our creative one is out for the season (though we have just signed Michael Tonge) and our previous box to box player has been signed by the big kids so hopefully Korey can fill that role. All the best for season and well done on the result at weekend.
You can see what a few other Norwich fans think here too http://www.wrathofthebarclay.co.uk/interactive/board/message.php?pid=1697629
Cheers for vid mate gleaned far more from that than the he shoots he scores stuff you usually get. Pass and move will suit us well if he can get one or two of ours to actually move that is cos sometimes they forget.
Really like the look of this kid. Looked to keep it simple. A midfield three of Smith, Perkins and Tonge against Derby I fancy and wouldnt expect Addison's deal to be extended.
Willkommen and do stick around as we do have the occasional post from fans of other teams It seems we've got ourselves a good un. Hope you stay up. It's a joy to see a team promoted to the premiership and still playing footie the proper way instead of going all defensive. Plus we have a bad record against you so no point you being relegated
He's just back from injury which is why he's not featured for the first half of the season. I'd suspect he starts on the bench for you
