Jack you made me laugh with the Emmerdale gag! I'm surprised fans are surprised. He was loyal and stayed in the summer because he was in the US world cup squad and nobody saw our deterioration coming. If we were in his shoes honestly what would we do? He'll never get a chance at a world cup again. Let alone a home world cup. And he won't have a chance at it if he stays at Norwich as the US are overlooking us in our position. Its not a Rowe/Nunez mercenary move at all. This is a guy who wants his one shot to play for his country at a home world cup, a really unique one-off opportunity.
He was always going to go, I think it was his wife who persuaded him to stay against what he wanted, maybe he just wants to play 3 games in the World Cup above anything else, you can’t keep a player against his will, it’s a messy situation with no winners.
My guess is he actually feels crap about having to do this but he has to score a lot more goals to get into the US squad for the world cup and thats more important to him. Norwich said they wouldnt sell so hes trying to make something happen, ugly but think he had no choice then to throw toys out of the pram. We should sell, with makama and kvist behind I dont see why we should keep tbh
Can’t see PC coming out and saying that about Sarge not leaving in no uncertain terms without backing from up top (Knapper/Norfolk Group). I really hope Josh doesn’t tarnish his legacy as a Norwich player, but it might just be too late.
Why are you so surprised? Why on earth would he want to stay at such a tin pot club? Nunez showed the way, he is bang in form at Town, which is a surprise in itself given how "injury prone" he is 🤣.Thing is he has not even been any good this season, I know he's not getting the service which is probably why the bid is $18m CAD which incedentally is £9.6m 🤣. Honestly you lot need to wake up to how small a club you really are.
What Clement said is “the club is clear about that” in relation to Sargent not leaving in this transfer window. To say that he must have spoken to BK and presumably the owners.
Sell above 20million, but use all the money to strengthen squad quickly with super quick wingers, tough centre forward and a creative midfielder plus a back up to the captain. Sarge has been crap for months, after a great start to the season, so head is gone. I would rather we got in more characters like Paul Dawson (Makama) from lower leagues than bow to people who are not up for the fight..
He hardly celebrated after scoring vs QPR. I thought then that his mind was elsewhere. TBH, let him go. He have cover now. PC was saying what he had to say with an eye to Josh's agent, and to increase any fee if there's a chance to do so, but he's a clever manager and will rationalise the narrative if / when it happens.
Don’t know if I’m right here, but to me, Phillipe Clement clearly doesn’t want a player in the squad who doesn’t want to be there otherwise he wouldn’t have respected sargents wishes. Therefore for me, is him saying “he won’t leave this window” a way for the club suggest that we value him very very highly and therefore only a very good bid will allow Norwich to sell. As I say, not sure if I’m right but I think it’s mind games. I would let him leave but obviously try and get as much out of Toronto as possible. North of 15m seems a good and fair price to me anyway of course these should try for more
I think that you are very naive Jack. It was obvious to all and sundry that Josh had reached the parting of ways at Norwich and has taken this decision in the name of furthering his career; nothing wrong with that.
We should have cashed him in the summer the world cup in his country he wants to be there a move back to the MLS and a good second half of the season might do it remaining here won't achieve that my thinking get a good deal and bring in a hungry new player we need every player to be fighting for us we are in a relegation battle can't have any player who isn't on board
As a Leeds fan and being linked with Josh Sargent in the past, I have no patience for players forcing a move and am so happy now he didn't come to us . As hard as it is you just have to let him go for As much as you can get . Lets hope for Norwich sake it's USD and not Can $
If Sargent didn’t want to play he should have SPOKEN to the manager NOT send him a text on the night before the game! ……..very disappointing, hope he gets fined and then sold for a good price. Shame though, fine player but I feel more for the manager who I’m sure won’t tolerate this sort of behaviour!
Omari Hutchinson did that shit to us at the beginning of the season because "He didn't feel like he could contribute". Sick of some of these attitudes.
I’m sure Sargent stayed because he’s enjoyed playing for Norwich. However, this season has been a travesty that you can blame directly on the staff and its poor player decisions. I don’t think Sargent is handling this well, but he does need to leave. Even if Norwich avoids relegation, the club has very poor prospects and will continue to be mid to bottom table for years.

Neil Kennedy sniffing at the door he needs top tier football
Fine him a month’s wages and make him train with the kids.
Childish behaviour.
Fantastic news, hope he comes over to Suffolk and join his brother Nunez 🤣

Get rid don’t want footballers at our Club who don’t want to wear our colours ❤️💚💛
Morning Jack Wouldn't it of been better if Josh played yesterday at home scored 4/5goals as a thank you and goodbye then asked about a transfer?
He hasn’t done the salute celebration for a while. His celebrations more recently have been team related rather than anything towards the fans.
I served him over the Christmas period at Jarrolds. He looked down in the dumps. I'm disappointed too. It's not the best look.
He was always going to go, I think it was his wife who persuaded him to stay against what he wanted, maybe he just wants to play 3 games in the World Cup above anything else, you can’t keep a player against his will, it’s a messy situation with no winners.

I have a horrible horrible feeling, Sargent is sold… Clement walks
What Clement said is “the club is clear about that” in relation to Sargent not leaving in this transfer window. To say that he must have spoken to BK and presumably the owners.
Your big players don't want to be there. Falling apart
If we can rip anyone off for 10 mil or thereabouts, we should bite their hand off. Hes a flawed player, overrated by miles.
Only thing for it is to demote him to "Private"
I don’t care who it is, if they want to leave then send them packing and take the money. Not worth keeping around the Club 👋🏻

Ruined his Norwich hero reputation

Get him out
As a Leeds fan and being linked with Josh Sargent in the past, I have no patience for players forcing a move and am so happy now he didn't come to us . As hard as it is you just have to let him go for As much as you can get . Lets hope for Norwich sake it's USD and not Can $

Josh should be let to go
Knapper will do what he usually does. Say absolutely nothing.
Omari Hutchinson did that shit to us at the beginning of the season because "He didn't feel like he could contribute". Sick of some of these attitudes.
The Makama name drop at the start was cold
Would have loved him in blue. But not now, cant stand over paid footballers going on strike. Hope Norwich stand firm.
Put him in the under 21 for it
Josh knows you're done
Sargent & Nunez 👊
I’m sure Sargent stayed because he’s enjoyed playing for Norwich. However, this season has been a travesty that you can blame directly on the staff and its poor player decisions.
