http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2167435/Steven-Whittaker-happy-Norwich.html Don''t know if you lads have seen this, bit more from Whittaker about it.

I''d want him around next season for personality and presence. I don''t see him having the same impact next season. Realistically he''s unlikely to get better from here on in, I''ll eat my words if I''m wrong.

Wes is very much a luxury player, when he''s on form, he''s excellent. When he''s not, he''s a liability.

I can''t see they''d make a prior announcement though to bad news? They know they''d build anticipation amongst fans.

Nope you''re right mate, it''s not there anymore.

Finally some news at last! Officially excited, all being well it''s good news! I can''t imagine if it was bad they''d post it first on twitter, they know we''d all get excited.

Favourite news of the Summer so far!!! May it get better and better!

Excellent news, he''s only going to get better I''m sure. Will cost a hell of a lot for any club to pinch him, he''s number 1 and getting around England squad - great move for both!

The Independent are saying Holt and agent are waiting for more talks with Hughton.

Agreed! Great stopper!

John Ruddy ‏@Johnruddy86 Also with regards to these rumours that everyone is tweeting me about I don’t know where they have come from, I have no desire to leave NCFC

Will you pipe down? Blimey. This forum does make me question my faith in the human race at times.

He commented on it after mate, despite spelling ''where'' wrong, he basically confirmed it was BS.

My goodness, I''m trying to get into journalism but there are some right morons out there.

Ruddy is settled here, he''s already stated how much he''s looking forward to working with Hughton and he''s currently in Barbados. It''s just journos putting two and two together and making sixty five. Manager at one club, signs player from old club. Load of codswallop.

Summed it up brilliantly Jacko.

Mind you, that was a fairly decent stop there...

I agree with you alysha, really feel Ruddy is settled and what not, already said he''s really looking forward to working with Hughton, also one of the few City players NOT to tweet anything about Lambert leaving.

Re. Lambert, I think there''s ambiguity about this clause in his contract and that''s the source of debate. Here''s hoping it''s solved nice and promptly! What do you think it was under McLeish? Without drastic change Villa from last day of the season looked relegation material, but then again that was last day. I know there were injuries, but, was it just players not buying into his philosophy? I know there was the fan opposition too. Did seem a bizarre choice from the off. Seemed a bit of a panic appointment after Martinez didn''t come.

Agreed. I don''t think Kenny is up to it.

I still think this may be a bridge too far for Lambert, not being bitter or anything but he''s got a massive task ahead of him.

Spot on Jacko. And who don''t QPR want? :P

Just because it says Lambert wants, doesn''t mean Lambert gets ladies and gents.

Mark Jones ‏@JonesyNCFC @MichaelFoulger please tell me Cully & Carsa are going to stay? It would be great for our players! Michael Foulger ‏@MichaelFoulger @JonesyNCFC I''d love to say yes as Ian Culverhouse is a fantastic coach, unfortunately he will not be our coach for much longer...

Basically confirming Culverhouse will be off soon. Shame. Hope those tight wad, cheap skates have paid up.
