  1. Oliveira will NOT be joining Reading this summer. ''The Tilehurst End'' pours cold water on the rumour.....
  2. If Oliveira is set to leave NCFC for Reading, then it is clearly because of the player''s desire to exit, rather than the club wishing to sell. The fact that it is Reading is neither here nor there. If the player is unhappy, then the club will be looking for a quick sale and therefore more time to find a replacement before the season starts. The big question is why Dorrans, Howson and Oliveira are jumping ship so quickly after a new regime has been put in place? Is Webber ruffling feathers at the rate of knots? Has poverty taken over from prudence, and is ambition now a distant memory?
  3. When these players happily sign their long-term contracts it turns out to be a one-way street..... If the club want to get rid of a player for whatever reason, they have to pay up the contract. If the player decides he doesn''t want to fulfil the contract, he can throw his toys out of the pram and engineer a move. Howson deserves no sympathy and little adulation from NCFC supporters. Probably not as good as some fans believe or else a few PL clubs might have shown some interest and tested his ''desire'' to move north.
  4. I''m still waiting to read Dorrans'' and Howson''s glowing testimonials of Norwich City FC.....have I missed them?
  5. One would have to assume that as Norwich 1st team coach, McAvoy had absolutely nothing to do with coaching the defence. It is very rare for a manager to be sacked and his right-hand man not to follow. McAvoy must indeed be held in very high regard unless the club cannot afford to pay off his contract.
  6. Hart supposedly earns £110k per week. I can''t imagine any PL club wanting to buy a dodgy keeper and pay him that sort of money. So it will be another loan or else catching splinters in his backside whilst being paid that ridiculous amount of money.
  7. So McAvoy is expected to remain at Norwich! Does anybody know what value McAvoy brings to the table to justify his retention?
  8. Gareth Southgate seems to be a deep-thinker and intelligent manager......so how in the world does he believe that Joe Hart is the best English goalkeeper?
  9. Reading what he has to say on joining Wolves, I think it''s fair to say his ability does not match his ambition.
  10. The head coach who is said to have influenced the coaching methods of Daniel Farke has swiftly, and somewhat surprisingly, exited Dortmund. I don''t suppose Lambert''s recent CV would entertain a return to his former club.......
  11. A good result ahead of next season - the worst team remains in the championship.
  12. Because it will free up another space for a possibly younger, hopefully hungrier, and maybe more mobile midfielder, that will improve our squad. Dorran''s has failed to live up to his earlier years. If the new coach is keen on possession, than hopefully Tettey will be next......
  13. Good. New broom continues to sweep.......
  14. Good footballers in their day, but their recent history of lengthy driving bans suggests that alcohol has affected their judgement and their opinions on football matters should be given little air time.
  15. The bottom line is that NCFC has gone stale. Big signings have proved futile...the players appear unfit ( hence the numerous late goals conceded).....the youngsters have been given fleeting opportunity......Tettey (can''t make a ten yard pass) has been virtually a shoe-in.....the defence has been non-existent....etc,etc.... A foreign coach should shake things up significantly There will be no favourites, everyone starts afresh. The players will have to buy into a new philosophy or naff off. It would appear that he knows how to organise a defensive unit. If that is the case, then he couldn''t be arriving at a more relevant time.
  16. I can''t see another club being foolish enough to sign Jarvis with his injury record. West Ham were laughing all the way to the bank when Norwich made an offer for this lame duck......
  17. Has he helped to shore up our defence? No Does his wage reflect his ability and performances? No Far too slow and far from dominant... Sell
  18. He would appear to be a good fit, and certainly a better option to Rosler.
  19. I wouldn''t think Ruddy would make the top five of all-time great Norwich keepers, despite his England call-up. However he has probably been the most consistent keeper of all time for diving the wrong way when facing a penalty-kick....... Hopefully we bring a keeper in who does his homework diligently and at least dives the right way from time to time, even if he fails to make the save...... Apart from that....thanks for the occasional shut-out........
  20. I think the myth that this squad is premier league standard has been fully laid to rest. They''ve proved these past few months that they are barely Championship standard. I can''t imagine for one minute that Brighton, Newcastle and whoever else gets promoted, will be sniffing around Carrow Road to strengthen their squads ahead of next season. Maybe the Murphys at a stretch, but plenty of work to be done on their inconsistencies. I would say on paper, with the last two seasons on their cv, this squad is looking threadbare, gutless, and grossly over-rated, with players earning sums of money far in excess of their ability and contribution on the field of play. In fact half the squad (too many to mention) have been a complete joke this season and would have been better used inside a cracker this Christmas gone......
