    He''s been excellent but it''s time to move on at the end of the season.

    One of the reasons why we got relegated last time is because we stuck with players who we knew weren''t good enough.

    He''s been a great servant but there''s no prizes for sentiment.

    I''ve had it up to here with these tinpot pre-teen ''writers''. They''re all over Twitter. "Editor-in-chief" - do me a favour.

    I remember one line from an article that read something like this:

    "I sincerely believe that the hiring of Chris Hughton had a lot to do with Paul Lambert leaving"

    The trouble is, all these articles offer about the same level of analysis.

    Welcome to 2016, the year 16 year olds actually think writing an opinion piece on why Hoolahan isn''t great on the left is cutting edge journalism.

    Having lived and worked in Coventry for 7 or so years and having family who are Cov fans, I''ve seen a lot of this lad.

    I saw his debut and I''ve seen him several times since then including his last game. All I can tell you is that this kid is the real deal. He is technically gifted and dictates the game even at 19 years old. Very skilful and a dead ball specialist - he takes a decent free kick. All this nonsense about not being strong enough is utter garbage, he''ll be ready next season for first team action IMO.

    £2m will be an absolute snip in years to come.

    [quote user="Bethnal Yellow and Green"]Norwich aren''t really in the position to sign first team players from Palace at the moment - a reflection of their rapid rise and Norwich''s steady progress.

    I''d say Jedinak is a better player than Mulumbu and as good as Tettey, if not a bit better. He is a great defensive screen but also has a good rage in passing.

    Defensive midfielders have a slightly longer life span than many other positions, especially if just being asked to hold the area in front of the defence, so his age isn''t a huge worry for me. I reckon he has at least a season or two left in him and would certainly provide the experience and leadership that many people have been calling out for.[/quote]

    So we can''t sign CP first teamers, but they''re Captain is easy pickings? I''d say it''s less to do with them being first team and more to do with how the club feel and how the player feels. And what the offer is. No player is really off limits. Shelvey is a good example of this.

    Why not get both in? Bamford on loan with a view to a permanent. Gayle in permanently. Grabban & Hooper already out the door and hopefully Lafferty on his way.

    Mbokani, Jerome, Bamford & Gayle, with Naismith providing cover should we need it. That''s a mid table strike force IMO.

    Decent player, a definite upgrade on Olsson. Probably worth a few million though. Would love to see him here although don''t really see why Everton would let him go.

    With the emergence of Brendan Galloway it might force a move? Leighton Baines in that position aswell.

    If the opportunity is there, I''d get him signed up.

    Gayle is far more accomplished than Grabban at this level. I''d take Gayle at 8 million to replace Grabban in a heartbeat.

    If we were to let go of Grabban, Lafferty and Hooper and get around 12 million, I''d be happy with Gayle and a punt on an unproven striker on loan from a top club. Joel Campbell might be an option.

    Jerome, Mbokani, Gayle and Campbell - we''d stay up with that strikeforce.

    I don''t really feel like we need to spunk 8m on Naismith. We really could do with splashing out 10m+ on a decent CB. 10m we should have spent in the Summer.
