Not sure if it’s a ploy, but if he’s staying I can see him being a good choice for a new captain. It’s not just his on field ability. Just take the way he’s gone from speaking virtually no English on arrival to where he was later last season while playing every game, speaks volumes about his character.
-
I get what you’re saying but i think it could be important for this year and also not urgent. I don’t think any of us are aware of what Norwich’s current cash in hand/cash flow situation is. It could even be we have already borrowed from Attanasio against an expected future sale.
-
While it's a fair question is that not the point of Attanasio's backing? If Cordoba was presumably seen as the No1 target, which considering we haven't bought anyone else and it's nearly August seems he might have been, would we really have lost out to Rangers because we hadn't sold anyone yet? That doesn't seem like how the Atanasio era will operate.
-
So you are suggesting we will only sell any players this year to fund new expenditure and that there is no shortfall to be made up in the current playing budget?
-
Thanks @shefcanary. Not sure I understand the source of disagreement to be honest, the bit in bold seems to be pretty clear, people seem to just be arguing over the numbers involved which we don’t, can’t and won’t know right now.

Joey Barton has been charged.. Again
Monty13 replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Yea thats all it is in action, and the tribes get more polarised as you have to agree with the tribe or you're out. Then you have no tribe and our primal brain knows that being tribeless is basically death so doesnt want to. Then you realise you're screwed and either have to pretend you agree with Joey Barton or your friends hate you lol, what a time to be alive for all these lonely people. -

I was going to say, I've read far worse said about posters on here. Unless there's some other tweet i'm missing i'm honestly confused what the charge is based on. Generally being a tw*t isnt a crime yet as far as I'm aware, i'm also of the opinion we should definitely let such people let that be known publically, wouldn't want them hiding the fact. -
New Supporters Panel Announced.
Monty13 replied to TIL 1010's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I like the fact there’s expat representation. Not everyone that grows up a Norwich supporter is in easy access of Carrow Road either abroad or in this country, doesn’t make them less passionate. -
Yea I can’t see an improvement. People’s Idah expectations have always seemed overblown to me. Only the clubs above us last year had arguably a better second striker and his stats proved that. I can understand if he’s frustrated with game time though. He’s definitely been held back in his career with limited minutes/starts for a good few years now and then last year being behind Barnes.
-
Would need to be a significant replacement available for that to make sense. I’m not sure how Barnes even fits in. I assume we’ll be going with one striker from Thorup’s desire to retain possession and what we’ve seen in preseason so far. I’m not convinced Aboh is ready to step up so a choice between an injured Sargent, an aged/injured Barnes and an inexperienced Aboh is quite some headache to sort. I wonder if they had a replacement in mind they could get if Idah would be gone already. I really hope he stays, never been a better season for him to show what he can do and take some pressure of Sargents shoulders and injury.
-
Kind of catches the mood I suppose, although you’re right maybe a bit too much. You don’t need to (and can’t) know the exact financial situation, but we do know we’ve lost parachute payments, cloth has to continue to be cut. I don’t think we’ll learn much about how this is going for a while, has the same hallmarks as the first Farke season and Knapper already said it will take multiple transfer windows. Yet I can’t help feeling optimistic personally. It’s a fresh start, Knapper seems to be going quietly and methodically about his business and we have the backing of Attanasio’s group to reduce any urgent financial concerns.

Most of its just good old fashioned tribalism. Problem is once you’ve chosen your tribe good luck either leaving it or getting accepted by another. -

I can’t stand Barton and what he said was pretty horrible but reading them I’m baffled why it’s a criminal matter. -
