If he wasn't playing in that disgusting yellow, he would be exactly the type of player we would be in for as a club coming down a division. Proven goal scorer at that level, playing for an absolute nothing club on the decline.
He will be off for sure but the optics of them selling to us would never happen I guess. Would not be surprised if a Leeds type look at him though, he certainly knows where the net is and will be looking to play in his home world cup.

He’s far too injury prone - can see him going to one of the promoted teams most likely Leeds.
I’ve watched a few of their matches on telly and Callum Doyle seems like a good player. On loan from Man City and I’ll doubt that he’ll break into their first team. |  | | |

Too injury prone for me Clive!
Would rather take Hardie from Plymouth or Ivanovic from Millwall, plus Kone from Wycombe and maybe the young lad from Lincoln who got a hat trick recently.
Or am I being too greedy? |
Tommy Conway at Middlesbrough another option. |  |

I was dead keen on Hardie when we were in League 1, and when we moved up to the Championship. But I think it shows just how far we have come, that on dropping back down to the Championship I would be a little disappointed with Hardie if he was our second choice #9 next season.
I'm hoping we've got a youngish overseas striker (or two!) lined up by an overseas recruitment team which have been set up and operating in stealth mode this season. Said youngish overseas striker(s) can get up to speed in the Championship ready to kick arse in the PL in 26/27! Hardie can come too. |  |

That doesn't seem to include the 5 (five) goals that were pumped up them today at Carrot Road, does it? | |

What are you banging on about, we literally done it trying to stay up and we going to buy PL players now we have got relegated? |
Not sure I understand |  |

No more ex-budgies please. Look how well Godfrey turned out.
I’d rather have Colby Bishop or Kieffer Moore again |  |

He’s looked a good player whenever I’ve seen him and his record of a goal every two games in an average team speaks for itself.
However, unless the fee was tiny, the injury record would make it a no from me. We need people who are robust, as well as talented. And that hair. It’d have to go. We cannot have somebody running out looking like one of The Bash Street Kids.
Lastly, good player at Championship he maybe, but I don’t think he is strong enough for the PL and if we are serious about returning, we have to recruit with that in mind if we can. |  | | |

He's only played about 2/3 of Norwich's season and yet no striker in the Championship has scored more goals (Sainz is not a striker). Highest goals per 90 minutes of any player to have scored 9 or more, highest goal conversion rate. 11 goals in 17 league games this calendar year (since coming back from injury). And a good age - younger than Hirst.
I can't quite be bothered to work out how many points Norwich get with him and without him, but I've heard so many pundits say what a better team they are with him, and the goals stats at least back that up.
Personally I think we would be mad to rule him out purely because of the team he plays for. He's had three good seasons in the Champ, and was very young when chucked straight into English football in the Prem.
Yes yes, Ian Crook, Andy Marshall, Ben Godfrey. But John Deehan, Clive Baker, Alan Lee.
I really do think he is an exciting talent. And if nothing else, losing him and Sainz would be fatal for Norwich - they're in the bottom 6 for goals conceded, and somehow have a positive goal difference. Sargent and Sainz have got virtually half of their goals. |  | | |

If he was cheap (under £10m) because of his injury record and contract situation (am I right in thinking he's refused to sign a new contract?) then he'd be worth a punt in the Championship. But I think you'd have to treat him as half a striker given his injury record, and where you might expect to have three number 9s in the squad, you'd want four if he was one of them. | |

He seems to know where the goal is, I don't know how high his shelf is, he probably isn't the fastest or most athletic but does have a knack for being in the right place at the right time and takes his goals pretty well
I don't really know who the obvious Championship candidates are at the moment
Kone at Wycombe seems to be highly rated, be it at League One level
Maja seems to he tempting a few |  |

Can see all three of those being on our list. 2 definitely were in January! | | | |

Is there a world in which could get Ferguson from Brighton? His stock has clearly fallen of late but he's still young. I think McKenna would be good for him. |  | | |

That's fine, we already have half a striker in Hirst. Put them together, we will have one whole striker. Provided we can co-ordinate their injury layoffs, we will be okay.
Maybe not. | | | |

Looked a player?
He has looked a clown whenever I have seen him!
In all fairness, he scores goals. If he could stay fit he would be a very good player and he clearly makes a big difference to them when he plays. No good to anyone sitting on the treatment table and that is why they probably won't be able to get good value for him either. | |

If Jock Hirst does manage to stay injury free, I think he could do very well in the Champ next season. |  | | |

130 appearances in 4 years for Norwich, including one season which hasn't yet finished, and another season when he was very young and playing in the Premier League. That is not exactly sick note territory.
In fact it's more than Kieffer Moore has played across four clubs in the same time. It's also more than Hirst has played across three clubs in the same time (and not making allowances for the fact that many of those were as a sub).
Freddie Ladapo has 19% more appearances across the same four seasons. Maybe getting him back is the answer. Except that Sargent has more starts. His record of starting games over the last 4 years seems better to me than any striker we've had in that time. I'm happy to be corrected if someone wants to look at the reality rather than some lazy hearsay about the fact that this guy has had an injury.
Either way, half a striker is not even an attempt at objectivity. Although I suppose it's better than saying we shouldn't sign him because he's a Budgie (as if a guy whose youth football was played in Missouri, Florida and Germany would have some intractable attachment to Norfolk). | | | |
