    Who are these fans saying that last night's performance was a 'step forward'? A step forward from the dross that we've endured so far this season? 

    QPR finished 11th in the Championship last season. 

    At home, a club like Norwich, with the squad we have should make for an easy home win. 

    Norwich are blowing an easy chance of promotion this season, with a hopeless management team. We have the squad - we have no direction or plan.

    Only good news if he really wants to be here 

    No footballer 'wants to be here" - they are here to collect as high a salary as possible, and play in the best leagues possible. Why would Milot Rashica or any other player currently at Norwich want to be here, at a relegated, under-paying, championship club? Norwich are a stepping stone for talented youngsters - that is the only reason to be here.

    A part of me wonders whether location has played a part in his un-happy spell at Huddersfield. 

    Maybe if Yorkshire was closer to his home in London, and potentially his family... maybe he would have been more settled and played better? 

    Maybe we'll never know, but its definitely been a talent wasted so far. I can see there being clubs after him. Someone like a Derby or Sheff Utd (aware these are reasonably Northern)

    I like Max Aarons, but is he really any better/different than a lot of other Premier League defenders? 

    He could grow in to a brilliant player, but I don't see him as any better than Lamptey @ Brighton or Kyle Walker-Peters on loan @ Southampton. He's not even close to Wan-Bissaka or Trent Alexander-Arnold.

    I rate Godfrey higher than Aarons. His performance in the cup against Man Utd showed he was 'worth a punt' for a top half team. Take this comment with a pinch of salt - but I thought Godfrey look more composed/better than Maguire - not expecting an 80 million pound bid.

    I'd like to think decent release clauses would be in those new contracts King Canary - NCFC have a lot of young talent. There must be a number of clubs frustrated that NCFC picked up the likes of Aarons, Lewis and Godfrey for next to nothing. Top scouting.

    I never said you said Cantwell got 5k. I was referring to where you said:

    "Aarons and Godfrey also, are noted as being on approximately £5k per week. Which is barely a League One players weekly take-home, let alone a Premier League players"

    Are you fighting my case or yours? Jeez.

    Also the average League One Wage, well, last time I remember them producing a report on it, was something like £2.3-2.5k - so half of the 5k you're referring to.

    I never said Cantwell got £5k. Considerably less if you believe what you find on Google.

    Now I know what you find on Google isn't necessarily factual but surely the salaries mentioned next to names like Godfrey, Aarons and especially Cantwell can't be correct? 

     

    Apparently Cantwell gets less for playing a season of Premier League football then someone like Jesse Lingard gets paid for sitting on the bench at Man Utd for a week. 

    Aarons and Godfrey also, are noted as being on approximately £5k per week. Which is barely a League One players weekly take-home, let alone a Premier League players. 

    Over the Summer both Godfrey and Aarons were apparently linked with moves away and I find it very hard to believe that Norwich have managed to keep bigger club away with pitiful wages like this for Premier League players.

    If NCFC players have got proper football agents, I'd be very surprised to see NCFC keep hold of lots of their talented individuals come January or the summer. 

    Teemu is apparently Norwich highest earner, with a rumoured £2,000,000 a season
