Especially a top half one.
Would come back to bite us, spectacularly. |  |

You watch, he'll go there and start banging in the goals for them. I appreciate he comes with a lot of baggage off the pitch, but when he's fit he'd be an asset for us on it - if used correctly. [Post edited 3 Dec 2021 13:07]

I'm afraid that the only way ITFC can vanquish the curse of the banter era is if James Norwood scores a last-minute winner against us in a play-off final at Wembley and does a 'drunk driver' celebration where he jumps on a physio's golf cart, swigs from a craftily stashed bottle of vodka, and swerves it down the Wembley touchline while 40,000 ITFC fans sob. |  | | |

It would be utterly stupid. We would likely be subsidising his wages anyway so we should say a bottom 8 league one club, league two downwards or Scotland.
Make your own jokes about him playing for a relegation rival... |  |

We can't stand in his way if he wants to go to a club in the promotion race. |  |

He can do what he likes in the summer, when he's out of contract. Between now and then, he can only go to a club we sell him to. |  |

I agree with that because it’s Sod’s law. But I’d let him go to wherever he wants and take the risk. Same with Jackson, Nolan and whoever else. Bring in a player or two (full backs?) to give the team better balance and maybe a bit of resilience and everyone wins.
Norwood is old for a forward at 31, can’t keep fit and can’t play the games (40 in two seasons is a just not enough). His brainless off field antics hardly help him, but both that and fitness are his problem. He’s old enough to have made his own choices to date.
The sooner he moves on the better for him and us. |  | | |

This could be the signing that will secure Oxford promotion, utter utter madness to allow this to happen. |  | | |

In reality, what baggage does he come with off the pitch?
OK he's a bit of a dick on social media, not the only football player in the world who is and he had the DD charge, which although completely and utterly wrong I can't remember other players getting similar stick when he commited the similar offences. [Post edited 3 Dec 2021 14:06]

Daryl Murphy scored 27 Championship goals and was 32 by the end of that season.
To discount Norwood based on age is silly considering what he offers. I get why you would based on other things (even though I'd like to see him in the squad every week when fit). |  |

Thought Edwards was convicted of driving without insurance rather than drink driving, or is my memory playing tricks? |  |

I thought it was dd but having checked it was a 'string of motoring offences'. I'll edit.
We had Gary Croft playing for us whilst wearing an electronic tag FFS.
All I am saying is that Norwood comes across as an utter tool at times but is no different than other players we have had and cheered on over the years. | |

You can be an utter tool if you are delivering on the pitch.
That appears the big difference here with Norwood. |  | | |

Until his latest injury there weren't many people questioning what he was bringing to the team on the pitch.
Cook reckoned he was one of the fittest players at the club after he knuckled down during pre season.
We aren't scoring at the moment. He scores goals. He should be at least a bench option whilst we are still paying his wages. [Post edited 3 Dec 2021 14:18]

He had a lot of niggling injuries last season too and looked unfit/overweight for the majority.
I agree, if we got the Tranmere version of Norwood he should be on the bench at the very least. But we haven't.
So if you're injured, being a dick on social media and trying to wriggle your way out of your 2nd drink drive conviction on a technicality it's probably a harder sell. | | | |

Scoring goals or not, the one thing you get from Norwood is he's a fecking pain in the arse for defenders - just a right annoying handful than never gives you a moments peace. Never nice to have to defend against. |  |

There's a big difference between being fit and looking after yourself to ensure you're conditioned to consistently play at the level he aspires to. He's nowhere near the latter physically or mentally in my view. | | | |

Yes, twice in one month, no UK driving licence, no MOT and no insurance. | | | |

The team chasing promotion bit was a bit tongue in cheek | |
