westwood to villa (1 Viewer)

ericagradus · Apr 30, 2011

I'm afraid its true. Westwood to Villa.
Westwood lone lap around the pitch was predictable.
Quirke doesnt look quite ready for first team.
Fingers crossed someone like Murphy in on a free

Sky Blue Tom · Apr 30, 2011

Where did you hear this from?

Nick · Apr 30, 2011

I heard somebody who sat near him heard it.

Lets all sing together · Apr 30, 2011

I didn't go today but got a text at 14:00 pm saying hes not playing cause there's deal with Leicester, I pray that he's not going there,

see you in Norwich - apparently the Compleat Angler is where to drink for away fans ? can someone post if this is true , cheers

Pigeon · Apr 30, 2011

The radio said that the move was to Celtic? ..Would be a crap move for him if that is true.

Walking Bird · Apr 30, 2011

Good move you mean, lot more money in a tinpot league that makes him look like a world beater!

Jimthor · Apr 30, 2011

Definitely going after he went round the fans a second time, sad because he's been great for us in the 3 years he's been here, will be remembered fondly. I'd quite like him at Celtic, would mean i could keep cheering him! Really really hope it's not Villa!

Skyblueloyal · Apr 30, 2011

When he's signed for anyone I will wish him all the best always puts 100% into every game and has won us so many points its unreal. To those who will slag him off go support another team, I like Westwood look to improve my job everyday too and my wages also, every footballer does.

Disorganised1 · Apr 30, 2011

The Compleat Angler is OK - Avoid The Bell

Lets all sing together · Apr 30, 2011

Hey thanks for that ! will do !

Nunskyblue · Apr 30, 2011

Heard talk about Westwood to Leicester today. How much truth in it I don't know but they also said it was an offer of not much more a week than we offered. If it is true what are our thoughts now on him? I know what mine would be / are!

Nonleagueherewecome · Apr 30, 2011

To the OP, Quirke did all that was asked of him today, looks a great prospect and loves the club. The save lowdown 1st half was superb! Loved his dummy-and the way he bollocked the senior pro's around him when they deserved it.

Re: Westwood, I reckon it's Celtic. Kris Commons has done ok out of his move there, as has Ledley at Rangers. It's a well trodden path for players too good for this league who haven't quite attracted enough Premiership interest.

sw88 · Apr 30, 2011

I too loved Quirks dummy....but Thorns reaction tells me he wasnt too impressed!! Luckily it paid off, but he could have ended with a redder face than sir alex's nose if it hadnt worked!

BackRoomRummermill · Apr 30, 2011

Does not make sense Celtic have a decent Keeper.....

I have been to tw oold firms this season and believe me that really is pressure for a keeper

First rule of any forum, I do not believe any shite that is spouted

CovKingChris · Apr 30, 2011

Or, he could actually have a shoulder injury.

sw88 · Apr 30, 2011

BackRoom, who is Celtics number 1?? (Being lazy by asking, i could look it up). Is it Fraser Foster?? If so, hes a decent keeper and probably no different to Kieron!

BackRoomRummermill · Apr 30, 2011

It is Forster , they have also a sub keeper who plays in the Scottish cup from Poland called Zaluka , who plays as good as a Championship goalie. KW is good but I cannot see where or why Celtic would want him.... unless he has the need to play for Celtic having Irish Blood so to Speak.

I tell you what , I would take a straight swap right now Forster and KW

Fraser Forster is on loan from Newcastle, plus Westwood's out of contract so Celtic don't have to pay anything. Which apparently was close to what they offered last summer when Boothroyd made the haggis comment

BackRoomRummermill · Apr 30, 2011

Forster's had more clean sheets in the league this season than any celtic keeper for the last 8 years. More than McGregor, Boruc, Gordon and Klos. He has 19 clean sheets with 5 games to go; the SPL record is 21. Not bad for a loan keeper, eh?

I wonder if they will try to sign him

keBaB · Apr 30, 2011

Compleat Angler smells of urine but they serve away fans so it'll do, when you come out of trai. Station instead of turning left towards the ground, go diagonally right (following the pavement) and it's on the bridge going over the river.

rob9872 · Apr 30, 2011

Would be a massive mistake to go to Celtic imo. Huge club great tradition and of course the Irish connection, but going nowhere in a pointless league. Needs to play in the EPL imo.

keBaB · Apr 30, 2011

Also, I'm not sure about Westwood, I want to know where the rumours come from, i didn't stay for the farewell, it'd be interesting to see if he makes an appearance at carrow road. I've seen Joe Murphy twice this season, once he was a but suspect against us, the other time Norwich put 6 past him with ease.

skybluesteve76 · Apr 30, 2011

The rumours came from someone in his exec box at today's game!

canningt · Apr 30, 2011

who knows where he will go

pusbccfc · Apr 30, 2011

Heard this from my mate who lives next door to him in westwood heath

Don't get me wrong - I was happy with Quirke's performance today, but I thought his kicking has room for improvement and he did not command his 18 yard box enough

He actually had about 4 or 5 kicks which went straight to a striker in space and two of these times we almost scored.

And I saw him shouting his nuts off during corners and some open play. Think he just needs a bit more experience and he'll have a better overall command of his area.

Richard Smith · May 1, 2011

your right there im-confused he will get better with experiance but all in all he had a good solid game and dose give us hope in the goal keeping area if we fail to bring in another keeper but a question to you all is he better than ireland

mattylad · May 1, 2011

plus the defenders could help by passing back to his right foot rather than thinking westwood is in goal and passing to his left

sw88 · May 1, 2011

Im not sure whether hes better than Ireland tbh. Havent seen enough if either of them to judge!

Howevr, im pretty sure Thorn wyiuldnt go with him if he wasnt sure he could do the job!

Guess we'll find out if either are in Thorns plans when its announced whether they are gettin contracts or not.

Either way i think we need to bring in a new number 1

Disorganised1 · May 1, 2011

Wouldn't surprise me if Tottenham came in after another Gomez slip up yesterday.

pb2875 · May 1, 2011

Having worked with them both in the academy GK arena, IMO, Quirkey is better than Ireland and if I had to choose which to offer a contract to it would be Quirkey but tbh he would benefit from working with another senior GK for a year or two and be an able number 2 when called upon.

mattylad · May 1, 2011

city are worried about quirkes height, they think he is a couple of inches to short for a top line keeper

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · May 1, 2011

Just more rumor mongering and posted nearly a month ago.

Rumor 1
Rumor 2

sw88 · May 1, 2011

Didnt Shay Given get told he was too small?? And he didnt turn out to be a bad keeper
