Erik the Viking

[quote user="lappinitup"]Really chuffed with this. I think he may become as popular with the fans as Hucks was. [:D][/quote] Will he be as popular as the Doc though Lap?!? Welcome Elliott.....

[quote user="norwichwhite"][quote user="Norfolk Mustard"]At Leeds Bradley Johnson had a completely different working environment. Now he''s joined Norwich, he will benefit from more inspirational management (PL), better coaching (IC), he''ll be surrounded by more technically gifted colleagues, he''ll work at a top-quality training ground, he''ll have resounding support from passionate fans who are not living in yesteryear but in today''s modern Premiership. This club is in harmony - the one he left most certainly isn''t! Just like Tierney, when he gets his chance he''ll come in and add some toughness to the team - when we''re playing the Stokes of this world he could be a Godsend! PS: Those comparing BJ with Gill; isn''t BJ a left-sided midfielder and Gill a right-sided midfielder? If so, BJ''s main competition for a place is likely to be Simon Lappin and Andrew Surman. [/quote]more technically gifted players my arse.our midfield bar BJ are all internationals. howson under 21, snodgrass-scotland, kilkenny- australia and gradel- ivory coast.howson, gradel and snodgrass would all be starters in your team.BJ is a grafter but his passing is very limited and his shooting is woeful.if bradley had a brain he would be a reasonable player but his intelligence seems very limited(hence joining norwich)be prepared for plenty of suspensions for yellow and red cards.club in harmony........................... until bradley arrived on a huge wagebradley was on 4k a week at leeds we offered him 6k a week in november he turned it down as he wanted parity with other players wages. bates transfer listed him....... no offers came forward.we then offered him 7k a week but he wanted 11k a week.he stated publicly that he did not want to leave leeds he just wanted paying what he believed he was worth(bates and grayson had other ideas).if the rumours are to be believed you are offering him 20k a week(haha) for 3 years as he is a free agent and no signing on fee. the reason he has delayed signing is that his agent was waiting for a bigger offer from sunderland.... this has not arrived so he will settle for norwich.bradley has made it quite clear he is following the money. 20k to sit on the bench........ goodlucksee you next year in the championship[/quote] Norwich White if you have such disrespect for Norwich as a place why don''t you**** off up to $hitty durty Leeds??? Just think of all that rain/shit beer/ugly city/watching your beloved disgrace of a club you supposedly support..... No, thought not bcause as we all know Norwich is a far better city in respect of quality of life etc etc oh yeah nearly forgot we also have a PREMIERSHIP football club, now do one dick head! Welcome Bradley, the Prem beckons.....

Underwhelmed as others have said. I dont doubt that Ambrose is a reasonable player but McGugan/Snodgrass offer far more I believe but who knows if their current clubs will let them go? Would have liked one "marquee" signing at least but early days yet......

[quote user="norfolkbroadslim"][quote user="Gazza"]Thrilling......[/quote] Glad you agree[Y] [/quote] yaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnn!, lets all get excited about a player that has NEVER been good enough to wear the green & yellow! Cody McDonald & some peoples fixation bores the ass out of me......

Thrilling......

A link would be nice dude?, sincerely hop we can bag someone with this ability. A bit of everything to his game....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqi98IP2po

Looking forward to seeing him if as I expect we complete the deal. Brighton fans really rate him as they did with Crofts who has as we all know been an inspired bit of business. Now for that "marquee" signing!!

http://www.seagulls.co.uk/page/Latest/0,,10433~2372384,00.html Just confirmed on Sky Sports News that Will Buckley is a done deal for Brighton and now on their home page. Elliott in the morning at FCR?

[quote user="CRAZY LEGS"]McGugan plays cm ffs[/quote] Can also play on the right side so could quite easily be an alternative to Snodgrass, d''oh!

Again would love this deal to happen and hopefully the player will also want to continue his education under Professor Lambert! Can play a number of positions across the midfield and always looks full of hunger & passion, yeah £5m is a lot of cash but if we want to improve & move the club forward we have to aim for these players. Hopefully we can complete this but if not McGugan from Forest should be a target and I believe we could get him for less?

Totally agree with Andys OP, for a long period of the first half prob from 15 mins in it was quiet & at one stage I said to my bro'' that "how is it possible 2200 at 1p5swich made more noise than 26,000 at Carrow Road for a game that is as important as we have played for many a year?!". It was bloody hard work in the Snakepit yesterday although as Harry said there was some of us trying. Andys point on what we do in the stands vocally transpires itself onto the pitch as regards tempo of play etc, so come on for these last two games we need to sing for the whole 90 mins and raise the roof. It could make the difference....

I lived in Leicester for many years when arguably Leicester had there greatest side ever which contained a midfield of Muzzy Izzet/Neil Lennon & obviously Savage who was by a long way the worst of the trio by a long chalk in playing ability. After leaving Leicester to move to Birmingham about 2/3 games into his career there came back to play at Filbert St against Leicester, as quite often happens the old player scores against his old team, queue Mr Savage giving it the big one kissing his new clubs badge! For me the mans a joke!, disrespectful/supposed hard man that crys like a baby when hes challenged/got numerous players sent off by playacting/not even that good a player but hey lets all forget that now hes a pundit on Five live and hes a bit contreversial hey! As Ricardo has already said "Cnut!"

I reckon Davies will quit at the end of the season after watching the interview on Sky Sports after the game. The way he makes out we''re in this all together then in the next breath criticising everyone under the sun. All hes concerned about is his own ass, short ass at that!

[quote user="Graham Humphrey"]Never mind the best player at Norwich, he''s probably the best player in the division for me.[/quote] As per our discussion I fully concur, Wes has been unplayable over the last 6 months in 90% of the games. Incredible player and possibly one of the greatest Canary players over the last ten years?

[quote user="Al Catraz"] [quote user="City1st"]"Amazing that all you guys can make a presumption on seeing this world beater on what one or two occasions.........." You don''t sound too bright, are you from suffolk by any chance ? It is you making the presumptions, not the rest of us. You who are judging this chap BEFORE he has played. You who are making presumptions on the club''s ''ambitions''. Assumptions based, not on any reasoned knowledge of who Lambert has attempted to sign or on what funds are available, but on your own halfwitted guesses. So here''s a suggestion. Maybe "our improvement over the last 19 months" is down to the boards judgement and Lamberts management rather than any witless drivel from you - so why not trust them rather than cluttering up this forum with your infantile squeaks ?[/quote] I always feel uncomfortable when I read a Norwich supporter slagging off another and using the suggestion that people from Suffolk are thick. TBH it''s not  too bright an insult. In the sense that Norfolk people have no basis for claiming to be brighter than Suffolk people it''s akin to the pot calling the kettle black and I guess that people from outside our two counties would label us all as inbred, 6 fingered, carrot crunchers. Also, "assumptions not based upon reasonable knowledge" are by definition not presumptions. We''re all allowed to have opinions and insulting those who dare to hold different opinions from yours (presumptions ?) is not only unconstructive and intolerant but, frankly, a bit dim.   Anyway, from what I have read about Edwards he sounds like he could be a good acquisition for us. If we manage to gain a dominant position in tonight''s game after the first hour then hopefully we will see him "in the flesh". [/quote] Well said Al Catraz!, as I said earlier in the post lets see hey how good Edwards is.... A few weeks back Ricardo was being lambasted for dubbing our new centre  forward "wheelie bin" and the usual suspects jumped on him because with Lamberts magic touch he would become a good player, all I can say is Ricardo & Snowys foretellings look spot on to me!

Just spoken with the box office & expecting another 1000 tickets on Monday but allocation could be potentially up to 4k if needed...

I.S./Lambert is King et al I bow down to your superior knowledge if he is a success, IMO we can do better if that doesnt sit well with you well tough! Amazing that all you guys can make a presumption on seeing this world beater on what one or two occasions..........

Good report & agree with most points although the draw was a fair result personally I was disappointed with the way we couldn''t hold onto the lead. Hucks, who do you think is better at the base of the diamond Fox of Crofts?, for me Crofts everytime & I feel Korey should be used on the right hand side to give us the ability to win the ball and make it more difficult for sides to break us down. Would appreciate your thoughts???

We have the cash to do it or where have you been for the last few weeks?!, small time Norwich mentality strikes again d''oh!

Nelson was not rated enough no or Lambert would have kept him, at best our fourth choice centre back hence him being released. Gabbidon would be a far better option and if we have serious ambition to push on players of this calibre should be on our radar if we want to mantain our improvement over the last 19 months....

If he was that highly rated he would be playing would''nt he?...........

I await Tillys response with baited breath.........
