Or maybe we’ll take the cups seriously and we can find another 6 games this season for him to play in between the two competitions?

Okay maybe not Sharp but someone else who can play the 3rd striker role. From what I’ve seen of Idah he doesn’t at present seem like he’s going to tear the division up any time soon and bearing in mind we really need to get promoted this season probably best to get a more experienced player in and loan Idah out even just until January would be something. If we don’t get promoted this year the parachute payments finish so we need to be really careful.

He did, but a player at this age and stage in life he needs to be playing from the start week in week out. He’s not going to do that at Norwich at the moment. It doesn’t mean he’s not going to make it but I think it will help him gain momentum to gain a first team place when he comes back.

I think we’d missed a trick. We should have sent Idah out on loan and bagged Billy Sharp as the perfect coke off the bench for the last 15 20 mins to poach a few goals. it’s a win win, Idah gets confidence by playing regularly and Sharp is a proven goal getter and idea person to come off the bench. And he’s a winner.

Maybe it will give the chance for Gibbs to go out on loan?

He’s been better since Wagner took over but up until then he’s been awful. No pace, can’t tackle, has no positional sense, doesn’t score or create but apart from that he’s great. 👍

I don’t know yet. I’ve only just seen it. I was hoping someone else’s greater mind would know.

I wonder if we had a sell on clause now Canos has joined Valencia on a full time basis?

Yes definitely. 5 years with an option of 1 further.

Having lots of shots doesn’t denote the match had fast or slow build up or exciting play. Lots of shots could mean out of frustration shooting from anywhere and hitting the corner flag. From the stats we had 5 shots on target the whole game. In my view the play was too slow. We would have developed more clear cut chances had the play been quicker, thus more exciting and the crowd would have responded hence the need for the drum. Like I said the match was promising for a first match of the season. Maybe with better familiarity the speed and more excitement will follow.

The reason the ground is a morgue is because the team has been playing cr@p for quite a while now. Nothing to get excited about. Even Saturday’s game, as encouraging as it was for a first game with a new team, the build up play was slow and in my view directionless (unless Sara was weaving a bit of magic). In essence, the crowd starts the game off full of enthusiasm and it’s up to the team to drive the performance to entertain the crowd and the crowd will respond. But unfortunately for too long the team have let the crowd down. No need for the drums, we just need some exciting attacking football to watch.

Pukki didn’t let us down Webber let him and us down by not signing a creative player and a DM who could stay fit.

If he gets the supply and he stays fit he’ll easily get 20 goals for us next season.

I was never that keen on Gunn so I’ll be pleased if we can get rid of him and get back some of the £m’s we spent on him. His stock is reasonably high at the moment as well.

Godfrey has been injured a lot which hasn’t helped and also a lot of injuries at Everton which prevented him playing in the right position. He’ll be on too much money to come back here.

And leadership.

How about breaking the bank to get James Milner in for a season or two? I appreciate he’s old but he’s very versatile as he can play anywhere in midfield (preferably DM) and either full back.

I thought Krul was out of contract at the end of the season? I’d keep Krul and sell Gunn if Krul is still contracted. Gunn has a resale value and he’s probably on large wages.

If it was me and from what I’ve heard I’d play Mumba as a RW rather than a RB as his defending is not up to scratch apparently. He’s quite a talent and we need to make use of him next season.

I don’t believe this. Who’d pay £11m for him?

We need to move back to the Lambert recruitment model when he wanted players who can play 40 games plus a season who are reliable and dependable. You don’t need such a large squad if players stay fit.

The worrying thing is if we can’t sell and we have a large debt to be repaid then we might end up playing freebie’s and kids.

We need the following in my view: Striker DM x2 CB LB GK RB AM the players that need to go are as follows: Placheta Idah - 6 month loan Gibson Gunn (I know Krul’s going as well, Gunn for me is not good enough and has a resale value) Giannoulis Rachica Aarons (to raise cash only) there are about 7/8 others leaving too, loans and end of contract. What do you think?

Don’t you think our season was stuffed the moment Hayden had a reoccurrence of his injury? We had no protection for our defence and was vulnerable thereafter. Our team then didn’t have the confidence to attack like we’re used to in this division. When he did play he was not on the pace. We might as well have had Carlton Palmer in midfield.

If Norwich don’t get recruitment right this summer we could quite easily find us fighting relegation next season.
