Nor can we. The last thing we need are more overpaid average players. Let him go to Rangers or wherever.
His worst form of his career was under Moyes as well

Also a few on there less than enamoured with him.

Advocaat didn't as he didn't decide to come back until later. So as I said we haven't for two years.
Norwich have underperformed this season and I'd imagine the reaction of fans towards players is much like it is on here.
That doesn't surprise me. We've got to remember than Moyes signed Kevin Kilbane from us, what a hiddeous player he was.
That's two or three weeks of close season when a manager is looking at targets and planning his squad.Advocaat signed a new deal 2-3 weeks after the last game of the season. He missed no pre season at all
He can only play one position at a time thoughFor a player who can play ACM, LSF, RSF and CF....bargain I'd say.

Do you think he'd be a good signing?

No. Moyse didn't have one either, so, as I said two years.Ok. Massive negative impact. Poor Dick. No wonder he was shite
So 1 manager in 10 years has missed a pre season and another possibly missed 2-3 weeks of close season before signing a new deal at least a month before pre season
Yep, makes a change having a manager have a full pre season
If we're seriously stuck with Moyes, then he needs to really show he can think outside the box. Signing Naismith would seriously damage an already frail fanbase.
No. Mouse didn't have one either, so, as I said two years.
Would rather get Tammy Abraham in on a loan deal from Chelsea.
f***ing Naismith manHe's the type of signing we need to move away from.
Also the star player comment
Bugger me bandy
A full close season is important for a manager. The last two close seasons we haven't had a manager appointed for all of it so their planning will be affected. So hopefully it will mean better planning. Now, if you disagree, sorry, but I have said What I meantSo 2 in 10 years and one of them missed a whole 11 days (from last game of the season to new contract being announced). Assuming he didn't just completely u-turn on the day he signed the new deal and had at least known for a day or two we are looking at a week immediately following the last game of the season
You also said 'at least 2 years'
I very much doubt thatWhat you need is both though......Naismith isn't a central striker but (imo) he's a clever player and links forward play up very well.....he is probably exactly what you'd need alongside a player like Abraham.....with Watmore on the other flank that's a no cost solution.
You'll be banging a different drum by the years end Rocky when Naisy has become a firm fans favourite.
Defend what decision - it is Alfred's speculation.What makes no sense to me, is someone who doesn't support Sunderland coming on this board to defend every decision Moyes makes, knowing fine well that the fans who really actually care about the club want him out.
I'm surprised people have put up with you for as long as they have done.
Naismith is a very average, limited player. I accept we won't be able to attract top players next season but I'd like to think we can be more creative in the transfer market than having to rely on yet anothef ex Everton player who is almost past it.
I very much doubt that
Your premise was that Naismith was worth £35k per week because he could play several positions, my point was that he's only worth any salary if he is the best we can get for his best position.In an ideal world Short sells, Moyes leaves and we start on an upward trajectory with new owners and investment. However, that seems a bit fanciful atm so any suggestions have to be based in the reality as it stands. We obviously need to cut the wage bill OVERALL but at the same time we can't put out a team on £10k/week realistically and expect anything other than a season of struggle so we need an astute combination of seasoned pros, promising youngsters and some decent loans. Given that Naismith can play in four positions and is genuinely a player who never hides I'd argue that for no fee he'd have to be a player we should consider......the issue is obviously his wage demands, but he won't get what he's on at Norwich anywhere else so he either stays there or moves for a longer contract.
In what's likely to be a fairly thin squad we'd need a few versatile players.
