Worthington Wants Another Winger[/size]
Norwich City are once again being linked with a move for a right winger. So far this season, Nigel Worthington has failed miserably in his attempts to find a player to bang in the crosses from the right. Andy Hughes proved that he’s no winger on several occasions, yet was still played there week in, week out by Worthington. In January, bids for Greg Halford of Colchester and Gary Teale of Wigan failed, Teale’s move being called off due to an injury crisis at Wigan.
Now, as this season of half-arsed performances and extreme underachievement draws to an end, we find ourselves once again linked with a right winger.
This time, it’s Luton’s Carlos Edwards. Edwards had previously been linked with City, back when he was a Wrexham player, a club at which he spent five years, amassing 170 appearances.Edwards, who can also play at right back, joined Luton last summer, and has consistently been in the first team, racking up 37 appearances for the newly promoted side. He has also scored twice this season, one of which was against Norwich, in Luton’s 4-2 demolition of the Canaries in October.
With at least 3 other players on Worthington’s shortlist, those being Teale, Halford and David Norris of Plymouth, 27-year-old Edwards will presumably be at the bottom. Having said that, he is the only of the 4 mentioned that will be going to Germany in the summer. Edwards is a Trinidad and Tobago international, and is all set to line up against England in the group stages of the FIFA World Cup.
So, with Neil Doncaster stating that both Halford and Teale could be revisited come the summer, the previous reports regarding David Norris, and now Carlos Edwards’ name added to the list, Worthington seems to have finally realised that we have a problem down the right and is intent on doing something about it.
Of course, it’s going to take a lot more than a right winger to sort this abysmal team out.
