foxer Posted 6 December 2007 Posted 6 December 2007 Found this... http://www.plymouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=92116 Leicester City manager Ian Holloway is set to swoop for Plymouth Argyle midfielder David Norris. The former Argyle boss left Argyle last month to take over at the Walkers Stadium and has been promised funds by Foxes owner Milan Mandaric. A national newspaper reports that Holloway is set to sign Norris in January in a £1 million transfer, although the livewire midfielder has recently been linked with a £2 million move to Ipswich Town. Holloway is in the market for wide midfield players and Norris could well top his list and Argyle winger Peter Halmosi could also be a target. Paul Sturrock paid Bolton Wanderers £25,000 for Norris in 2002 and the Premier League club have a 50% sell-on clause should the Pilgrims' decide to any future transfer. In August Argyle chairman Paul Stapleton turned down two bids from Southampton for Norris, with the last offer being for £1.2 million. The 26-year old midfielder has made 235 appearances for the Home Park club and is now enjoying a return to form after a mediocre start to the season. Not sure what to make of it myself, anyone know much about him?

Is he not out of contract at the end of the season like akos Budsaky
Darkzzz_ Posted 6 December 2007 Posted 6 December 2007 i knew this one would start up... he does have a lot of love for ollie!! Thats a fact! Id have him, he is a good player!!
Thracian Posted 6 December 2007 Posted 6 December 2007 From Wikipaedia: Norris started his career at Boston United, which was a non-league club at the time. 'Nosher', as he was known, was a popular goal-scoring midfielder and his performances soon attracted the attentions of league clubs. Bolton Wanderers won the race for his signature, and paid Boston £50,000 for the 18 year old in February 2000. Described by Sam Allardyce as "one for the future", Norris found first team appearances very rare. He was loaned back to Boston within a month of signing to keep himself match fit. He was loaned once again in 2002 to Hull City, for a month, playing 6 games (3 as a sub) and scoring 1 goal. After only making 2 appearances for Bolton in the League Cup and FA Cup, he was loaned to Plymouth Argyle. He had his loan extended to the full three months and was then signed for a fee of £25,000 in October 2002. He has since acquired the new nickname of "Chuck", and became an integral part of Argyle’s promotion to The Championship in 2004. Although short (5’7"), he is stocky, extremely fit and enthusiastic, which makes him a firm favourite between fans and players. At the end of the 2005/06 season Norris was named Plymouth Argyle Fans Player of the Season, and had an excellent start to the following season, including a goal in the 3-2 win over Sunderland in August
MPH Posted 6 December 2007 Posted 6 December 2007 wide did you say? goal scoring midfielder did you say? I'd sell my left nipple to medical research so we can get players like that in!
Geo V Posted 6 December 2007 Posted 6 December 2007 I thought we were going for the left-winger Halmosi?!! I read that we wanted Norris in the Sun but I must admit I dont know that much about the lad.
MPH Posted 6 December 2007 Posted 6 December 2007 I thought we were going for the left-winger Halmosi?!!I read that we wanted Norris in the Sun but I must admit I dont know that much about the lad. both would do.

Geo V Posted 6 December 2007 Posted 6 December 2007 Would be a good signing for 'sho. You should say fo sho mate. Drop the r as it isn't gangster enough with it in.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 6 December 2007 Posted 6 December 2007 I've given up on expecting anything from our new signings. Even when someone threatens to be a good player he's then played completely out of position for a large part of the season. The only player we can't play out of position is Fulop but I'm sure they'd stick him in the reserves if they could find another f**king right-back to go in goal.
Staf Posted 6 December 2007 Posted 6 December 2007 I think he would be a good signing get him in ollie
Plymouth Pete Posted 8 December 2007 Posted 8 December 2007 For you lot to mull over here is a list of Plymouth players I would not like to lose. In other words worth signing. Goalkeepers - we have two average. Full Back - None worth having. Centre Backs Marcel Seip (rhymes with pipe) Outstanding much admired by Ollie. Kristian Timar, Hungarian, lumbering monster useful for the fight. Matte Doumbe, French very nippy. MIDFIELD David Norris, boundless energy, perpetual motion but inclined to run up blind allys. Peter Halmosi, Hungarian International, Argyles record signing at £400,000 looking a bargain, pure class. Forwards Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, our top scorer but has missed more than he scores. Promising Youngsters. Dan Gosling can play anywhere in defence or midfield England under 18 international. Gary Sawyer, similar to Gosling. Please Take Cherno Samba, Rory Fallon and Rubin Reid and make them into Walkers Crisps or something. That concludes to vote of the Plymouth Jury.
Super Arj Posted 8 December 2007 Posted 8 December 2007 excellent news.. i reckon he'll join the money is too good here to resist not to mention Ollie i think Sylvain Ebanks-Blake will follow
Plymouth Pete Posted 9 December 2007 Posted 9 December 2007 excellent news.. i reckon he'll join the money is too good here to resist not to mention Ollie i think Sylvain Ebanks-Blake will follow Your welcome to him, he has an impending court case coming up for a nightclub assault.
James. Posted 9 December 2007 Posted 9 December 2007 Your welcome to him, he has an impending court case coming up for a nightclub assault. Slap on the wrist. Not exactly going to go down for it is he.
Koke Posted 9 December 2007 Posted 9 December 2007 wide did you say?goal scoring midfielder did you say? I'd sell my left nipple to medical research so we can get players like that in! Wide player and can score goals? I'd give my left testicle for a player like that. Come along David Norris my baby.
Fox92 Posted 9 December 2007 Posted 9 December 2007 If he's half as good in real life as he is on FM2007 we will be promoted Also 1mil for Norris? Is he not out of contract at the end of the season like akos Budsaky I tried to sign him on FM2008 I'd take both Norris and Budsaky -------- however have QPR already agreed a deal to sign him after his loan.
Bluemoon Posted 10 December 2007 Posted 10 December 2007 If he's half as good in real life as he is on FM2007 we will be promoted Also 1mil for Norris? Is he not out of contract at the end of the season like akos Budsaky Unfortunately not. However he did bad mouth his present club regarding Capaldi move to Cardiff. He's going to cost 2 million, not 1 - well worth the dosh. Mind you I will be interested exactly how much MM is willing to spend cone January. I have the feeling he's going to hold off a bit till the Summer, providing we're safe that is

You can keep them all, apart from MAYBE that Halmosi bloke, he sounds alright. We could loan him as a trial period and then decide whether to sign him or not
The Reverend Posted 10 December 2007 Posted 10 December 2007 You can keep them all, apart from MAYBE that Halmosi bloke, he sounds alright. We could loan him as a trial period and then decide whether to sign him or not Have you really got ''Ollie Out'' in your signature?
Jack Posted 10 December 2007 Posted 10 December 2007 Have you really got Warnock in on your signature ?
Koke Posted 10 December 2007 Posted 10 December 2007 Have you really got ''Ollie Out'' in your signature? Despite his denial, he's got to be a Plymouth fan.
potter3 Posted 10 December 2007 Posted 10 December 2007 Despite his denial, he's got to be a Plymouth fan. There should be an intelligence test before you can join. though it'd be cut from 6000 members to 50
