  1. What an absolute nonsense. Being a fan of a football club doesn't give us the right to dictate what a person does with their body. There is no such thing as an ideal shape either. It's just not how it works. I think he looks great and all power to him for the work and effort that must have gone into getting into such shape, especially during a rehabilitation from a serious injury.
  2. I think you're spot on. So much has improved in such a little time. I hope (and think) it's just a manager who is now playing to our strengths and confidence returning. But the test will be whether we're still playing like this after the honeymoon phase that does come with new appointments is over.
  3. Let's wait and see how the rest of the season goes.
  4. Paul Warne was asked about this and said he knew nothing about it. Also said he spoke to Norwich's "head of football operations" just a couple of hours prior to the press conference, so unless he's being kept very much in the dark, this is not true. Also said the only contact anyone had made over Derby's players occurred early in the window and was a speculative enquiry. Sounds like we can put this one to bed.
  5. Yes but what you think we need to mount a promotion push and what Webber/Wagner think could well be two very different things. Doesn't indicate an abandonment of promotion ambitions. Besides, CB is the one position we don't actually need in a rebuild given everyone in that position remains under contract.
  6. No it isn't. It's no different to us signing Tzolis, or Sargent or McCallum. A player that the current manager is thought to be able to improve.
  7. As it looks like he's on his way, I suspect I'll make this my final say on the matter. The day Todd leaves the club should be quite a sad one. He is without a doubt one of the most talented young players to have ever come out of Norfolk. After returning from loan, I saw a player who struggled to do what was being asked of him in the limited cameos he got under Farke, usually as Buendia's understudy. But that close season after our first promotion something happened. Todd returned looking faster, stronger, better and was the bright spark in an otherwise poor season. He probably eclipsed Buendia in those early weeks, looking like an absolute mega star in the making. I don't know the full story of what has happened since. I think fans have been hard on him and we have to share some responsibility for that. But I also think Todd's own attitude has been a hinderence too. He could have been the best, written into Norwich City folklore and playing now at the top of the Premier League. Instead, he seems to be off to Rangers in disgrace having failed to live up to the promsie that early Premier League campaign revealed. He reminds me in a way of Paul Pogba. Daniel Farke, Scott Parker, Dean Smith and David Wagner have all given up on him, an indictment on him given what we have seen for ourselves as being within his capabilities. I really do hope he finds his way and his next move is a successful one. But I do think it's right to draw a line under his Norwich City career now. Let's hope the money this brings in can be reinvested to give Wagner the very best chance of capitalising on the early promise he's shown.
  8. I like the idea. Sadly I gave up my season ticket this year for various reasons, but I'd have been happy to do this last year.
  9. Jurgen Klopp has popularised it at Liverpool. It's just a phrase used to describe a particular footballing philosophy.
  10. He'll be gone by the end of this window. Whether it will be on loan with a view to a permanent move on the end of his contract or a permanent move now, that's what seems to be up in the air. If we get any money for him we'll have done well.
  11. Measured and balanced. We played great. It gives great hope. It needs to be tempered as it's early days. Done.
