Francis off?

[Huckerbys right foot]

CITY leading scorer Damien Francis was today linked with a summer move to Charlton Athletic.

Charlton boss Alan Curbishley was at Carrow Road for Monday night's Barclays Premiership game against Manchester City, and is understood to have been watching the 26-year-old midfielder.

Francis has been one of the players to catch the eye most this season despite the Canaries' battle against relegation, scoring seven times in his 21 Premiership outings - to add to the seven goals he scored in the club's Division One championship-winning campaign.

A national newspaper report today claimed Curbishley was ready to pounce to keep Francis in the top flight if the Canaries are relegated.

Charlton were expected to have the ex-Wimbledon man watched again in City's home clash with Chelsea tonight.

Birmingham boss Steve Bruce is believed to be another Francis admirer, with Fulham also said to be interested.

But a move to Charlton may appeal if Francis is keen to return to his native South London.

The Wandsworth-born player joined the Canaries from Wimbledon in the summer of 2003, and has made 68 senior appearances for them.

if/when we go down theres no way we could keep him to be honest .... Francis is a premiership rated player ..he has talent for a premiership club and any deal from £2 mill+ is very fair

wel cud see it coming. on there way as well i think will be helveg, jonsson, francis n green.

how much u rekon francis will go for??

[Huckerbys right foot]

£3 mill or around that amount


he's played premiership football
he scored 7 goals
he's a international

i wouldnt accept anythink lower than £2.5 mill

[canarymatt256]

seems inevitable cos hes been soo good. him greeno n helveg will all go 4 defs. just hope we get decent amounts for them.

Id like Damien Francis in our side as long as we stay up would be good in midfield with Quashie and Redknapp

[YellowFeva]

even if we go down which is lookin pretty likely at the mo.
say green: 3-4 mill
francis:2-3 mill
helveg: free
svensson: 500k

thats like say 7 mill! imagine wat spaces we cud fill!
i mean dont get me wrong id prefer to hang on to some of these but it aint gunna happen!

i jus got a real bad feeling some club will offer **** loads for huckerby. n i no he sed he would stay but jus wont b easi in my mind till i see it!

[alexgreg96]

helveg will defo go -
svennson is as good as gone

not sure about the rest -
possibly depends on what they have written in their contracts plus offers
plus how much they like norwich

i reckon francis is wirth closer to 6 million (please stay!)
hucks about 3 million (i reckon he'll stay)
green about 3 million (could stay)

don't reckon we will be splashing out though as we still have fairly
