NorwichLad Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 If you watched us now Jono it would be James Maddison that you'd pay attention to.... the boys very special, he'll be bypassing the Southampton's and going straight to a Spurs or Arsenal, in 6 months if not in the next couple of weeks.... probably for a record Championship fee. Unfortunately we only own one senior striker now, and whilst talented (Nelson Oliviera)... he doesn't turn up half of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was you then I will take your good judgement seriously and look forward to watching Jerome play. Yep that was me, way back in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, and lots of people weren't having it haha. We could do with him on loan for the rest of the season to be honest, down to one striker Presumably we'll be signing somebody out of Bundesliga II.... where we seem to sign most of our players now, with a success rate of about 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 26 minutes ago, NorwichLad said: This is quite a good description... Jerome gives defenders quite a lot to think about because he's strong enough to hold up the ball, but also quick enough to flick the ball around them. Plus he has scored quite a lot with his head by being good at losing his marker in dead ball situations. Quite an intelligent player really, I'd describe him as a 'streetwise' player perhaps more than 'clever' if that makes sense. Oh and Leeds fans hate him, so that will add some spice to any fixture you have with them! Why’s that? Scored against them once too often or was there some incident?

ossieram Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 To be honest CJ wouldn't have been a player I was hoping we would sign, but he is here now and he'll get my support and hopefully prove that I know nowt about forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accused one of their Italian players of racism in a match.... so a lot of tension now whenever he goes to Elland Road. Can't remember if it was the N word or 'Monkey', but it was something like that. Leeds fans hating somebody for daring to complain about racism... not surprising is it. EDIT: Called him a Negro.... got off the charge by claiming he was threatening to give Jerome a 'black eye'. His explanation doesn't sound very plausible to me at all to be honest.... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/feb/18/fa-racism-leeds-giuseppe-bellusci-misunderstanding I mean.... how do you even give a black man a black eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that but had forgotten it was Jerome involved. Well anything to wind up the weeds is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I’ve just had a quick look at that. Yeah his defence was he threatened to give him a black eye and was misheard, so he was cleared by the FA. And then presumably arrested for threatening violence? Threatening violence is still worse than calling someone a name right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorwichLad Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 I dunno, I don't think the FA disciplinary people are fans of Jerome because he got done for betting on football matches in the past (that is taken more seriously now than it used to be). Plus knowing the stuffy old FA they will have an average age of about 94 so will all be a tad bit racist themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the greatest respect.... he's going well above 'newly promoted' level, probably to Spurs where he'll end up being a superstar pretty much instantly like Kane and Ali. Liverpool and Spurs want him, and I think he'll be going for at least £20m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
