Portugal - Ivo Pinto France - Matthieu Louis-Jean Germany - Marcel Franke (no idea why) Spain - Simon Lappin Netherlands - Leroy Fer Belgium - Vadis Odija-Ofoe Poland - Przemslaw Placheta Noway - Alex Tettey Sweden - Mathias Svensson Finland - Teemu Pukki Brazil - Gabriel Sara Argentina - Emi Buendia

His role is pretty all encompassing, overseeing all aspects of the academy and youth development. From getting young players into the building right through to transitioning them into the first team or selling/loaning them out (alongside the SD/loans manager) and everything in between. Big role to replace and one that is important for Knapper to get right. Wonder if this change is to do with Knapper wanting to change things or it's just his time to move on. Probably the latter based on comments from ZW in the article.

Because it's the end of the season and things are happening?

Gibbs.

Ah, very good. Think I was basing that off the initial report of his contract extension.

Pretty sure we don't.

Only a year left on his contract so I think he goes below value. Although I guess Max Aarons went for around 7 and he's a few years older and a fullback. Guess it'll come down to if more than 1 club are interested.

I'd quite like to see a wider stats comparison between McLean and Sam Morsy considering how many scummers have been saying he should have been in team of the year. Apparently Kenny is better than him ad doing the thing Morsy is know for,

That's a part of it I'm sure but there's more than 1 way to win the ball off an opponent. I don't know the model they're using but if they were measuring tackle success rate they'd probably call it 'tackle success rate'. Is this stuff something the every day fan needs to know? Absolutely not. Do some find it interesting. Yes.

I mean, that's pretty much 99% of football clubs. I'd also add that the 'right offer' for one of our players seems to rise dramatically after the first big sale of a summer. If we don't get promoted I'd Imagine Rowe will be the one we'd find impossible to keep. I'd imagine we'd get around £10m. We'll also likely pick up a couple of okay fees for for Idah and Tzolis. Then a few big wages will be falling off (Gibson, Giannoulis, Baath) so I can't see us being desperate to sell. After that I'd struggle to see a club matching our valuation for players like Gunn, Sargent, Nunez or Sainz. Sara could attract a big offer but I'd think it would have to be a lot. All that being said we also have no idea how we're going to be managed financially going forward. With Attanasio's involvement growing who's to say there won't be a bit more budget for Knapper to retain some of our assets.

This seems to be the fear every season from some. Then we only sell 1 or 2.

Any time a player tries to get the ball off another player and the ball is on the ground. Our team presses quite a lot so should naturally be attempting a lot of them.

Okay.

Half the posters on here don't even like Norwich.

Remember when we were the worst team to ever play the sport a few days ago? Nor do I.

Did Rob Butler just suggest that Rowe was a better defensive winger than Sainz? Really?

DId it? I think the Premier League was just above his (and our entire team's) level and as soon as he was in the Championship he looked good. Had he not been shafted out onto the wing in half of the games he'd have been a 20+ goal striker last season.

Yet we have a relatively decent record against the rest of the top 8. Doubt there are too many that would fancy going up against us in pressure games like the playoffs. And yes, you're a binner if you don't want us to get promoted.

No manager is willingly throwing away a player who's generally doing well for him and replacing him with a guy who has played about 200 minutes during the first half of the season. I doubt he'd be talking about the trimmed down squad as often if he was happy about it. It's of course logical for Knapper, who is thinking about Idah's potential value going forward. Or even thinking that a run of games in Scotland could be beneficial for him here going forward. Maybe there's more to it than that but I'd be shocked if Wagner wanted that move.

Because we don't have very much money and If we did it wouldn't surprise me if they were planning for the next coach.

I'm shocked at how some people can watch a sport for decades and still understand so little about it.

They've won 20 points from their last 12 games. Doubt they're going down.

The only teams that have battered us away from home this season have been Leicester, Plymouth and Liverpool. Doubt we'll be playing any of those and even if we do end up facing Leicester I would imagine the dynamics of that game would be significantly different.

After going 'negative' we probably had another 3 clear cut chances. Another day and this game is 5 - 1 and everything's hunky dory. Nobody will disagree that Barnes isn't a lone striker. He needs legs up with him hence why we brought on Gibbs, that one obviously ended unfortunately.

Sheffield Wednesday have 17 points from their last 10 games.
