Wes Hoolahan has future at Norwich City
Paul Lambert said earlier that Wes Hoolahan has future at City under his leadership, hopefully this will end all the speculation and rumour concerning the player.
Lambert said of the player:
“Wes has played terrifically well in the last two reserve games and his attitude been great, as has that of the rest of the lads,” said Lambert.
“Wes has been a top player in the Championship not that long ago, but we had to try and get a bit of stability into the side and be hard to beat. But that is not to say he won’t figure in the future.”
I suppose that is as much as a confirmation as anyone will get from Lambert. He also went onto to speak about former captain Gary Doherty who days as a City player look to be over.
“Gary has been a terrific servant for this football club, he was captain not that long ago. But sometimes you’ve got to change it and I’m not going to stagnate anyone’s career if someone comes in for him.”
Meanwhile City winger Simon Whaley has joined League Two Rochdale on a one-month emergency loan.
Whaley was signed from Preston by former manager Bryan Gunn in the summer, but has failed to start a League One fixture since Paul Lambert was appointed City boss last month.
The 24-year-old has played six games for City, three in League One and three in the Carling Cup and Johnstone’s Paint Trophy.
Whaley’s spell at Spotland will run from September 18 to October 18 inclusive.
“Simon needs games,” said City boss Lambert. “He came to me and asked if he could go out on loan if he wasn’t in our immediate plans, and this move gives him the chance to get some games under his belt.”
