    Well we have one player in an area we are well covered who is not guaranteed a starting place this season whereas we are short of players in the backline. Surely a no brainer - bank the £10M and get in quality defenders. You only have to look at our record in that area over the last 2 seasons to see that is where we need players without delay.

    If you''d told me this time last year Jacob would be the twin being touted for a £10M+ transfer to the PL I would have laughed. He did have a decent season last year but Josh has as much potential, so I for one would be OK with us selling Jacob and reinvesting at the Back where we still need more quality. We have several options with other good young players in Jacob''s position and he wants the move so get on with it and let''s move on.

    I do not buy into this oft repeated criticism from the negative brigade that Zimmerman is a 4th tier player. That is total nonsense as he has played over 100 games for Borussia M''Gladbach and Borussia Dortmund IIs part of extremely strong teams similar to being at Chelsea, Man City etc. Thus access to top grade training techniques and rubbing shoulders with the best in the German leagues. Most on here would be excited at getting a young Chelsea squad player I presume?

    Good test of Webber this, and I think he has played it spot on. Leaving in this way was Howson''s choice and he''s got everything he wanted. On his day Howson was a good player, but sadly I didn''t see anywhere near enough last season. I don''t even think he will be a regular at Middlesborough, they have decent midfield players there, just lacked goals from the forwards.

    Howson and Dorrans both decent players, but at their ages now is the last chance to get some reasonable funds to reinvest and will open the door to Maddison, Murphy(2), Pritchard, Thompson, Godfrey, Vrancic, Watkins - and a different style of football, probably not suited to those two. Note haven''t included Wildschut, also likely to be moved on.

    Hang on a mo'', what about Huddersfield. Great example of doing it without investment.

    Re LDCs comments "Indeed, a real Norwich fan would find it inconceivable to play for Ipswich under any circumstances.  Strange move - I know he''s a professional and has to do what is good for his career, but there are surely limits"!!

    I give you Clive Woods.

    Respected former Tottenham and Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli advised Norwich City to embark on a bold new strategy, which led to the appointment of Stuart Webber as sporting director.

    The Frenchman, who worked closely with Webber at Liverpool, revealed he had spoken at length with Canaries’ chairman Ed Balls over the past 12 months to pass on his vast experience of the continental model.

    Lots of doubters when Ed Balls became our Chairman less than 18 months ago but what is happening at our Club seems to have been driven by Ed. Extract here from article last month worth re-reading - “.....Ed Balls asked me the same question around 12 months ago and I said, ‘Ed, as long as you don’t have a different structure in your football club, you will struggle. You need to have a sporting director who’s going to build your culture and implement values which can be maintained. As long as you don’t have that, you won’t be able to sustain success.

    “More and more clubs are now going in this direction and I’m amazed that people are still surprised by it.”
