Boggers

To be sold in January to raise funds for gary hooper. Andy lonergan will be offered a new deal and become our permanent #1

The only part I don't like about this is that I'll have to change my bastard name

As if Norwich are going to let Hooper go.

if he's out of contract in the summer we won't get much for him would we?

I agree, Lonnersbelief doesn't have the same ring to it!

It wouldn't bother me if Bogdan went, Lonergan has been superb under Lennon.

I'd hope for atleast £1 mill

Bogdan is pants. It looks like Lennon has realised it a lot sooner than Freedman.

I can't see us getting anything for him let alone a million £!

He's fucking class, shut up nat

I don't think there's a great deal to choose between them. Lonnergan and Bogdan are both decent keepers but not top drawer. In a way I feel a bit sorry for both men because they follow in the footsteps of the best Bolton keeper of my lifetime in Jussi who at his peak was world class. Compared to him just about anyone else was always coming up short and of course the defence in front of both of them was wafer thin compared to the men who stood in front of the Flying Finn. 

If I had to pick between the two I'd go for Lonergan but only just. Personally I think we need two keepers so would try to hang onto both while we look for what we really are desperate for and that's a real quality striker. Right now we just don't seem to have one.

I think AL is streets ahead of Boggers: more agile, better spring, better judgement, less prone to horrific errors. Distribution fairly equal (is this the fault of the coaching?). Andy's weakness is consistent ability to deal with crosses......but then AB is no more secure in this respect and certainly doesn't command his area or organise/encourage his defenders the way AL does.

Lonergan has been our best player this season, he also isn't injury prone like Bogdan.

We should try to keep both IMO. Unless finances dictate otherwise.

Lennon's article bigging up Lonners adds weight to the idea that Boggers is on his way - and I think that's down to finances dictating as he is an international goalie who should command a decent price tag - which would allow Lennon to move for a striker.
