    Likely a millionaire.
    Going to the world cup
    Scored past PSG MANCO and Lille on the way to a goal every 165 minutes.
    NEVER PLAYED IN THE DOG AND DUCK

    Also was loaned to us too early and couldn't cut it in our league. Decent player now but wasn't then.

    What do you mean without context? I’m using statistics of two strikers in League football, to compare their qualities as League football strikers. It couldn’t possibly be in more context. What do you think context is?

    If I’ve repeated my question, it’s because you haven’t previously offered an explanation.

    You are saying someone is a rubbish player. I’m saying you’re wrong. My proof of that is that he’s played over 450 games and scored more than 1 in 3 games.

    Sometimes I genuinely believe that people's carers shouldn't let them use the internet unattended. This may or may not be one of those times

    You've done this before too, mention paying to play games. It's simply not true, and you know it. You're just using it as a stick to bash him with, yet again. Guarantee he'd be earning more even in the national league than you do at whatever your job is.

    You really need to grow up Hemsy. Will keane was the top scorer last season, he's 29. You ruined all your remaining credibility with the Frimpong saga. Where's Alex Kiwomya? Odejayi scored against Chelsea btw.

    You've given some credible stats and pointed out that Norwood has considerably more goals and experience than the other fella I've never heard of. But Marc, where's the context man?:D

    Norwood has historically scored once every 183 minutes at League One level. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-norwood/profil/spieler/123198
    That’s practically a goal every other game.
    Dane Scarlett has scored once every 303 minutes in the Premier League 2 against other u23s.

    If it was Liam Delap or Ellis Sims I’d think maybe we’d signed the wrong player but Norwood is proven at this level. As well as two levels below.

    But the goals aren't representative of anything. playing in the and I've checked the Isthmian League SOUTH firstly must be a pay-to-play league. Second of all a youtube team in the area, I think plays at a higher level.

    Its like saying to Lewis Hamilton you've won races in the South Yorkshire banger league. 102 of them and then comparing them to his f1 wins.

    No need, you’re entitled to have an opinion on wether Scarlett is a better option etc but to slate a player who hasn’t even had chance to play for us is just wrong.

    I don't think I've ever seen you post anything remotely positive on here.

    I'm going to f*cking LOVE it when Norwood finishes the season with more goals than Scarlett. :)

    Dane might be plain and with James you might not want to sit down. You are upset we didn't sign a 18 year old with less professional goals than youngsters in our own team.

    He posted a lot of positive stuff about Frimpong to be fair. Named him in his all time Barnsley XI.

    Really.

    You talk some of the most absolute, complete and utter twaddle I've ever seen posted on here and you do it to the point of repetition that bores the rest of us to exhaustion.
    Why you were ever allowed back on here is beyond my understanding.
    Thread after thread of Norwood is rubbish and some 18 year old no mark is a genius. For god's sake give it a rest.

    They’re representative of scoring goals in League football. What are you talking about? We’re in League 1. Do you think F1 compares to League 1 in motorsport terms? What’s the 3rd tier equivalent of F1? Is this your definition of context?

    The goals and appearances represent his goalscoring abilities in the football league. I'm not too interested in his month's loan in the Ismael league, but evidently he can score at that level too. His stats show he is a proven goalscorer. Will Scarlett hasn't scored any, he is unproven. Perhaps he will do well. Marc's pointing out of Norwood's league stats in relation to Scarlett's non-existent stats provides the context. My response was in relation to that. Your post is like saying, we've signed this player, Norwood, who I'm going to call 'Nogood' from day one. I'm not going to get behind him before he's kicked a ball for us, I'm going to slate him at every opportunity. As Roy Keane would say, nonsense! :D
