Norwich may hijack QPR bid for Gorkss

Published Date: 17 July 2008
NORWICH City could be about to make a fresh move for Kaspars Gorkss in a bid to hijack QPR's attempts to sign the Seasiders centre back.
The Gorkss-QPR switch is still in no-man's land.

QPR were convinced they had got their man, even offering striker Daniel Nardiello as a goodwill gesture on top of the £250,000 required to spark a get-out clause in Gorkss' contract.

But Karl Oyston, angry at how Rangers have gone about trying to complete the transfer, is refusing to sanction the move.

There are even reports that the chairman has ordered Gorkss back to Blackpool to join in pre-season training.

That is unlikely to happen because Gorkss appears to have made up his mind to leave the club.

And his first choice remains QPR, where the new super rich club of British football are understood to be offering him eye-watering wages.

However, the lack of progress on a deal has been noted by other Championship clubs and Norwich boss Glenn Roeder is understood to be one manager tempted to wade into the Gorkss scrap and make a bid.

Roeder currently has only Jason Shackell - subject of a £1m bid from Wolves - and Gary Doherty as senior recognised centre halves in his revamped squad.

Don't let your stubborness interfere with the playing side of things Karl. Let Gorkss go - and quick. The longer you let it drag on the more the team morale will be affected. The QPR deal sounds decent - the £250k release clause that was you built in to Gorkss' contract and a striker to boot. It's evident that Simon needs to get a settled team playing and gelling together before the season starts. Let's face it - I think with the disappointing run in at the end of last season and the harsh Latvian lesson we learnt this week it's already looking like a long hard season. Get Gorkks out and look to the future. He was good but he is not irreplaceable.

I think most fans would agree that the situation needs to be resolved one way or the other. If Kaspars is adament about leaving, then he's going to do more harm than good on the training ground.

Nardiello's record isn't that great though and I don't think we should be bullied into decisions - by Kaspars or by other clubs after our players. If Grayson would've wanted Nardiello, I'm sure Karl would've accepted the compromise - he obviously doesn't rate him, or the deal would be done. We shouldn't just accept the turd that other teams don't want all the time.

i for one would like to see gorrks go to norwich rather than qpr , but ofcourse money talks & if he wants to go there i don't see any way we can stop it , there should have never been a get out clause in gorrks contract in the first place, we made him the player he is today .
better still if he goes to a prem side but get him out & quick.

Yes why shold we have the turd that has already been flushed? We dont need to be paying wages for used ar*e wipe. Be much better to leave Gorks rotting in the sewer than let him walk into a luxury like of Andrex.

Bring back Peter Clarke a centre back who can actually pass the ball & is as quick as sh*t off a shovel.
