We've nicked Howson, Johnson, Snodgrass and Bechio so perhaps ....................

"........squandered opportunities to establish us in the top flight". I am not sure any club outside to the top 6-8 ever establishes themselves. But some of the signings meant we were doomed before the season kicked off. Maybe that Anastasia fellow wants a different approach. So thanks for the memories Stuart, nothing remains forever, so onward and hopefully upward.

That has to be the concern. Apart from Skipp and probably Williams the recent loans have been abysmal, to say the least. And I cannot really say that Rashica, Tzolis and Sargeant have set the world alight, either. Get it wrong this time, and we may well join the long list of ex PL clubs struggling in the Chs.

£65m loan. Evidence ?

So no evidence what soever and a claim that we will not receive parachute payments. And we see Johnson as being a barefaced liar. "Does that sound like we have 30 million to blow?" I never stated that, You are just making up stuff again to distract from your erroneous claim. I merely pointed out the extra £50m we could be due to refute the lie';there is no money' Now point us all to that £65m loan. It must be available online, otherwise you would not know about it. Unless of course you are making it up. To what purpose, I might ask, as if the rest of us cannot guess.

Quoting from the report on the 21/22 accounts ""Norwich have borrowed an undisclosed sum against 'both future media rights and contracted player receivables". No mention of borrowing against the parachute payments. I have yet to read here, or elsewhere, of anyone stating that "we will have more to millions to use". More than what, exactly ? What posters are saying is we are NOT potless with no transfer budget. Demonstrating that with evidence does upset some, as is seen by their attempts to twist it to we have tens of millions to spend. What is available to spend in the summer, what is held over until Jan and what is needed to run the club is unknown. But an extra income (above TV, sponsors and gate) of £50m plus clearly shows there is money. And the constant bitching by the usual suspects merely affirms what most on here already know.

I don't think anyone is claiming transfer money received is automatically speed on transfers in - bar the usual anti-club posters. My point is that to state 'there is no money" when all the evidence shows there is needs correcting.

Perhaps you could point us all to that £65m loan The club has borrowed to cover a £44m debt incurred through the Covid lockdown. However, "Norwich have borrowed an undisclosed sum against 'both future media rights and contracted player receivables" Ever season since lord knows when the club have had a budget to buy players - I VERY much doubt that has changed this summer

So where will this £50m plus go tghen. Do you really expect the club to dance around singing 'e're in the money".. And as said, I doubt the three ex PL players wages are 'cheap' either..

or, the advantage is we are not spending what we don't have and will certainly not be able to afford, if we don't go up. We are allowed five. Which we only pay a percentage of their wages and a 'signing' fee. If we go up we will have the money to buy. If we don't, we are not committed to a long wage/transfer contract. A no brainer really.

If only we had some sort of parachute payment (£30m), or maybe a sell on payment (£5m). Is there no player we could sell (Rashica £5m plus) or one who is currently here, Aarons( £10m plus). £50m plus. That does not sound like 'no money' to me. Ex PL players will not be playing for nothing, either. I expect all three to be topping our wage bill. Free agents are grabbed early to avoid others signing them. Others who follow and are signed to other clubs usually are in a 'chain', so you have to wait. Let's hope Omo and/or Giannoulis do not leave. That might actually bankrupt us.

I think McKenna will be the only name any senior club will be enquiring about. They usually have some boy wonder, they drool over, but never seems to ever hit the heights they expect of him. Mind you, they did have a youngster called Gibbs. I wonder what happened to him ? Probably flogged off to some bigger club for a decent fee

I am not sure whether is Sheff U is really much of a step up as a career move. With Duffy here and Hanley likely to be back in a few months it might be thought he is surplus to requirements. Maybe keep him until Jan then sell him. A club looking over their shoulder might be tempted to offer the sort of money Godfrey fetched. Yes, he is one for the future, but our immediate future is this season and getting back into the PL. Omo's value is in his age. Duffy might be better/as good but Omo has another 10 years (minimum) in him. And that's often what you are buying.

I've had a bet that we beat them. I get a tenerife we do.

"Tottenham have learned the price it will take to sign James Maddison this summer. Reports claim that new Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou has asked for the England playmaker to be made his first signing in north London as he looks to install an exciting, attacking brand of football. Per the Daily Mail, Tottenham will have to splash out £60m to land Maddison, who is almost certain to leave Leicester after their relegation from the Premier League. That is despite the player having just one year left on his contract in the East Midlands, with the Foxes said to be hoping that rival interest between Spurs and Newcastle will protect that hefty price tag." Evening Standard £60m would net around a £5m payout for us.

I am yet to be convinced about Sargent. Any absence there and we are left with just Barnes. Tzolis looks more comfortable in a central position,. Watch his goals. Unlike Idah he has the Holt/Pukki ability to clinically finish, from almost any angle. He is NOT a winger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih8K2nC-wMo

We needed some 'muscle'. Too many like Gilmour Sara, Nunez were easily brushed aside. And too many times we were outjumped at corners, both ends. It's alright having a specialist dead ball coach, but it needs the right players.

As the club owns the players registration, ultimately is all down to them. However.what club wants a player who clearly does not want to be there ?- What club wants a player who has been blocked from a 'big money' transfer ? You do the latter a few times and word soon gets round. You are not a club players with ambition of higher things will join. Much nonsense is talked about City 'selling players'. They are not pigs being taken to the market. Like pigs, players do not fly. Under the radar as some numpties will claim. Every game is watched and every player is monitored. If a player has a certain potential then a club higher up in the wage structure may look to buy him. Of course City buying players relatively cheap does not always work, and with many they go no further than a few first team games and that is it. If the player wants the move offered, we can weigh up what it is worth. Had we been able to hold onto Godfrey would he now sell for £25m, likewise the sale of Lewis and Murphy ? The money is then re-invested. WE DO NOT SELL TO BUY. WE BUY AFTER SELLING.

Your guff attacking the club is getting desperate now. Perhaps we should tell Aarons that after years of loyal service we will do everything to block his move..... so he can leave for nothing next year. There is no talk of selling the other three. But again I am sure if we were able to block their moves to wages far higher than we can afford, a nice fat signing on fee and PL football they will be happy bunnies at City next season. You binners need to up your game.

Correcting an error does not equate to your claim. One or two ? There are far more than that who are (not so) closet binners. We don't judge the forum by them, or pay much heed to their idiot posts, either.

Why does selling a player mean "...wages ,transfers and agent fees." ? If player is sold it is because they have been offered far higher wages, a chance to play in the PL and a hefty signing on fee. Just the way we signed Maddison, Godfrey and Buendia. That is how it is. Unfortunately, that reality does not fit with some of the board's malcontents who would have that it is the club failing the fans.. Maybe we should also look at how we acquired, Clarke, Gibbs and the young Scots lad from Hamilton. Did their respective clubs want to 'sell' an exciting prospect. I doubt. It's just they are lower than us in the pecking order, just as we are to any PL club.

or, Kept as much of the squad as funds would stretch only so far, to bringing in others. Unfortunately there seems to be a delusion aming some the City have a divine right to bounce straight back. Take a good luck at the Championship, and then ask why such one time PL clubs who had 'consolidated' are actually no in the PL. Many look as if the only way out of the Chs, is relegation. Why did Cardiff, WBA, H'field, S'land B'Burn, Swansea, Hull etc not 'give it a go'. Why have Leeds and S'oton been relegated, and a big club like Everton only avoid relegation by a few points ? Or is it the nature of the game that it is extremely difficult to maintain a squad at the standard needed ? Perhaps someone could explain this mystery.

Really ? Is there anyone saying this ? Here or when at CR.

Urban myth, as with Roger the cabin boy..
