[quote user="Loan City Fc "]I think Gunn just says what he is told to say by the Board , lets be honest its the only reason he has the job . [/quote] Absolute rubbish.

[quote user="Jim Kent"]True, but he also said Bosnich is contracted to a aussie team. Which is true, but only over the close season. Therefore, he will be available on a free transfer for the start of the season. Gunn''s comments are irrelevant, which probably means he will be our new no 1.[/quote] That''s ridiculous reasoning. Gunn clearly and unambigiously rules out Bosnich as a possibility and if you read MFW, that too says that Bosnich has been ruled out as an option. I think the comments of our manager, who has final say as to who is signed, are very relevant.

Hi Ryan, I believe a few of us are slightly intrigued as to why you choose to religously fill this forum with swearing, negativity and patronising posts against others. You have made it clear in no uncertain terms that you are a Norwich fan, but I think that I am correct in saying that you are rivalling Wizard and Smudger for the position as board''s most unpleasant person. I personally do not have a problem with you posting on here, although I have never seen so many patronising posts on any team''s forum, so I do find it slightly odd that you have posted 907 times. Really I was just wondering whether or not you could give one reason why you post so patronisingly on here, just out of curiosity. It may just be that you enjoy patronising people, or it may be to fulfil a specific objective e.g. to fulfil some strange desire. I dont like to question others motives, however I have seen numerous people insulted by your posts here, Im not talking about those who tell you to go away but those that simply ask why you choose to post in such patronising ways. I believe that by simply explaining your reasons for being grumpy, people would be more accepting of your presence. I am aware that many will now present themselves in your defence with "league of gentleman" etc etc... but I cannnot think of one good reason why you are unable or unwilling to answer this question. How about I go first? I''m grumpy on this forum primarily because I think this forum as a whole thinks it''s far more representative of fans than it actually is. I get frustrated by the constant addition of posts that seem to claim they speak for all Norwich fans.  Now you go.....  

Is that less than a month prior to pre-season training, we don''t appear to have a transfer budget in place. I appreciate board room reshuffles means that allocating a precise transfer fund will be difficult, but equally so our board should be looking to release as much cash as possible to Gunny so he can get started. At the very least, the money made from David Marshall should be burning a hole in his pocket, giving him something to work with.

[quote user="WeAreYellows49"][quote user="TheMarshmallowMonkey"]I think peole need to stop living in the past and wake up to the present. Huckerby has had a serious problem with his hip for some time. It kept him out a large portion of his last season with us and has kept him out of a large portion of this current MLS team. With age now against him, I seriously doubt his hip will ever fully recover although I''m not a physio. Our current situation is this - we need a squad that provides quality, competition for places and capacity to develop. Huckerby had quality. Does he still have it? Not sure. He wouldn''t compete for places, he''s too old and at his age will not be here longer than a season in a playing capacity. If this were any other player in exactly these circumstances, not a single person would be happy. Sentimentality quite clearly rules the roost here, as it did when everyone was barking on for chris sutton to rejoin. Look what happened there, with sutton at villa. Hucks is a legend, but re signing him would be a gigantic step back in all the circumstances.[/quote] But how much quality can you get for £2.50p and a bag of crisps? [:)] [/quote]I''d take the packet of crisps [;)]

Administration is a legal status which has with it legal implications and legal requirements of notification to shareholders. If the club were about to enter administration, we''d know about it.So stop bleating on about it and find something else to drone on about, Wiz.

...saw I am a banana starting yet another stupid thread?

IMO Declan Rudd >>>>> Shane Supple

Hucks is a legend. Frankly, though, theres a seperate forum for this sort of talk and this thread should be in there.

Ryan - it''s because of how low we''ve sunk that I believe huckerby would be a bad move. We need to get it right, and taking chances on injury prone has beens is not getting it right. As I said, we must make progress.

I think peole need to stop living in the past and wake up to the present. Huckerby has had a serious problem with his hip for some time.

How can anyone answer a question when we don''t know the squad that we''re going to have yet?Seriously, this is just another thread for the idiots of this forum to have a moan.I for one am remaining open minded. Let''s wait and see what Gunn is able to do before we start making predictions.

Let''s close this thread now.

I''ll repeat what I said on the 497 previous threads about exactly the same subject.If this were any other 33/34 year old left winger, injury prone as Huckerby is you would all be up in arms. Even Huckerby himself has said he may not be fit enough for the english game again - but then you misty eyed individuals have ignored that.I want a team built that can develop into the future, and we have enough questionable elements of our past at this club as it is.If he wants to come back, bring him back to work with the youth team.

[quote user="LQ"]Funny though... [:)] [/quote] Really? Purile rubbish to me. But one man''s purile rubbish...

[quote user="Salahuddin"]Of course there will be signings, quite a few I am sure. Whether they will be any good is another matter........[/quote] Nail, head, Mr Salahuddin.

[quote user="First Wizard"] [quote user="blahblahblah"]Usually wiz posts this on the 1st of June - why the delay this season ? [/quote] And of course blah, you can prove that. [/quote] About as much as you can prove your original post, First Hypocrite.

I take your point, LQ. Hucks returning would boost some sections of supporters. But can a club like ours afford to keep a player around for just 20 minutes here and there and to lift the fans? Personally, I think not. I agree, the fans need something. But I think the fans will get the same uplift from seeing an experienced, competant squad being put together rather than waste the resources we have on Darren Huckerby.

We must be the only club in the world who thinks we can progress by going backwards. If this was any other injury prone, 33 year old left winger in the states, we''d hear nothing but criticism and and allegations of a lack of ambition. Huckerby is a legend but all that is past. Let''s move on.  

I''d rather we show ambition by setting a high, but fair price for both and stick to it. £1.5mil for Clingan, £1mil for Hoolahan.

Yes, let''s resign an old, injury prone person who himself admits he may not be too old to meet the levels required for English football. Huckerby is a step backwards. Let''s see progress.

[quote user="S.Yorks Canary"]thought we turned down £3m in Jan for him?  Why would let him go for £1m now???????[/quote] We wouldn''t have been able to turn down £3mil. The rumours of him linked to Fulham were just that, rumours.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Poor old Mike.

[quote user="AJ"]Clingan could do much better than Coventry. I would like to hold out for 1.5 million in honesty, I reckon we could get that for him. [/quote] Totally agree on both points, AJ. I think a club like Cardiff would be about right for Sammy. Wait until Joe Ledley moves on to Spurs or Hull and then up the price to £1.5m :)
