Also, while on the subject of utter nonsense from Read Norwich, look at this- https://readnorwich.com/2019/07/04/norwich-expected-to-announce-fahrmann-loan-on-friday/ Hmm... I very much doubt we're paying that as a loan fee seeing as though his value on transfer market is £4 million.

This- although I believe it was 5%. For example, he (Featherstone) was said to make £100,000 from the deal that saw Christie going to Boro. The player was valuated at £1.75 million, but he convinced Boro to pay more and they bought him for £2.25 million

A LOT of people thought he would be a good appointment, yes. As for actually having conversations with him? Don't know that we did.

That is exactly the point they're trying to make, as far as I read it. Fletcher for 6.5 million??! Do me a favour! It's a very crooked approach, however you want to dress it up.

Oh it'll happen! But we have to remember the kind of gubbins people were spewing out the first season with Farke in charge, then just look at how he adapted the season after to take us to the title. Quite amazing really and I do feel confident he can repeat the trick in the Prem (not winning the title, but at least a mid table ish finish). I'm hoping that the majority of fans will stick by the team and Farke. I think the amount of goodwill and togetherness built up from last season is not to be underestimated! As such, if we play well in a game but lose by a goal or two I think we'll still get behind the team and roar them on to success for the next! (Fingers crossed, hey?)

They do look like a couple of little, money grubbing weasels... Sh*t eating grins for sure...

Can't wait to see them slowly slide into oblivion 😊

Also, I've heard that Max is terrible at Warhammer so he is trying to get a player he may be able to beat.

Ok... completely and utterly deranged 🤪

I do this NOW when players are particularly decent in games, or playing at the World Cup or whatever. Bellamy was one of the first I can remember being all "Yep. Bellamy, he used to play for Norwich" Then I do it whenever I see Madders! God knows what it's gonna be like when I'm super old and slightly senile.

Yes we did! After I'd written that I thought... "Oh yeah, mentioned this a while back and a few people changed my mind!" Might have been with regards to Ole at Man Utd. Still, lots of examples where it hasn't worked out so well. But it's an interesting tactic by clubs to do this and bring back an ex legend, in some kind of attempt for fans to have patience. But, like I said, the Chelsea fans for the most part are a bunch of entitled ****wits and they will be booing like crazy after a few bad results. They have a good squad of course, but are going to have to trust in youth a bit more this season by playing a few of the million players they sent out on loan last season.

Hmmm... Thought he'd signed a one year extension but looking again I can't see it confirmed. The talks were ongoing and it seemed as though this was happening. But looking at Transfer Market states he's only contracted until June 2020

Ha! I get what you're saying but none of those shots would have been possible to catch! If they'd have shown him coming for crosses, or from corners, I'm sure you'd see a lot more catches!

Love how he saves a lot of these simply by using his face. On another note... Dan Happe the latest to be linked...

Woah... Don't think I've ever seen this! I am a big fan of TV Go Home and all the bonkers TV listings. Daily Mail Island was always a funny synopsis, but I think my favourite show name ever has to be 'Mick Hucknall's Dolls House Sackbag Prodfest' 😂

Oh... Never saw that one coming... 🙄 I don't really care about it but it's quite an interesting appointment in that I can't really remember a time an ex 'legend' has gone back to a club as manager and it's worked out. It's mainly to appease the fans, I think. They can't sign anyone because of the embargo so, and we've seen it before, get an ex player in who is highly thought of and hope that the fans have patience. Thing is... This is Chelsea and... they won't. I give him 10 games.

Homegrown quota... Literally! I can't see him getting much game time but he will only improve so, decent to get him signed on.

If they were, I wouldn't bloody listen to them! Way too mainstream for me... 😉😉

Yeah it's Maximillian! That's how it should go... I've seen loads of versions... haha! Mind you, when 20 odd thousand are singing it you can't really hear the nuances.

Hmm... No hiding it. Yes he was! But it looks as though Belgium were under a lot of pressure for the majority of the match and, well, we haven't signed him for the first team. However, great goal for Belgium by Verschaeren. Maybe we should get him!

Yes I think they were, mate!

I agree! But I am also hoping some of these signings find their way into the first team in the latter part of this season. Fitzpatrick seems to have played really well, albeit in Scotland, so would be keen to see what he could add. I don't know much about the Belgian dudes, but I'm hoping that they will be stars of the future!

You guys talking about Fahrmann's wife? I can't see her on IG, I think she's called Nadine isn't she? Only one I can find has a private profile. Oh! Hang on! Just did a search for her in NCFC followers and there she is... Hmmm... Sehr interessant!

That's about 26 grand in pounds... I would wager that a few of our players are on that, or close to it, already

Urgh... Lakey admitted at the time that he was being optimistic about 4th and so what? It sure beats reading a load of old moaning and worrying about what might happen. It's cool to have some ambition and a dream. Shouldn't be chastised for it or held accountable to it when it was simply a POST ON A FOOTIE FORUM. Truth is, nobody expected us to be in this position now. Many didn't think we'd get anywhere near playoffs last season, let alone go and win the bloody whole thing! So, I'm with LDC in feeling optimistic about the season ahead. If we get regulated buh... so be ut! I'd rather be dining at the top table than languishing in the servant's quarters like Ip****
