Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 27, 2017 Would rather we keep Brady until summer tbh than waste some desperate money on a plan z left back. We will still get good money for Brady in summer and it''s only half a season he has to linger in the championship. Maybe toffolo will be ready to step up then. CBJ on loan would be shrewd imo.

hogesar 9,717 Posted January 27, 2017 I''d have thought we''d have invested in Colney after our first prem season no? Surely a couple million would go a long way to removing portacabins etc? I swear we did start investing in it actually... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 939 Posted January 27, 2017 Look at it this way, you have 2 relatively young guys who are not short of a bob or two. One lives in, or near, Amsterdam and the other lives in, or near, Lisbon. Both large and vibrant 24 hour a day Cities that have everything & more, even Motorways. They are currently contracted to Clubs that more often than not qualify for Champions League football, Clubs that have top notch facilities and coaching staff.Both Cities have true International Airports so they can be on a plane to almost anywhere in no time at all.One player flies from Amsterdam to Norwich and lands at an airport that is pratically deserted, looks at the departures board and sees flights to almost nowhere.To make it worse he then has to pay £10 ADT for the privalege of going home.The other player flies to Stansted and then has to endure an hour and a half taxi ride into what must seem like the back or beyond.They''re then shown round Carrow Road and notice a Hotel taking up one corner.Then they''re taken to Colney and shown round the Portakabins.Hardly surprising that they decide no to come.

dibbler 0 Posted January 27, 2017 I would put my finger on wages being the main problem.We are looking to reduce the wage bill with any new signings being offered less than current crop of players, would you sign.This, together with our league position and Alex Neil, who is unknown to many players would hardly set the ground alight with excitement.

Yellowbeagle 0 Posted January 27, 2017 It wasnt the bleeding portacabin or the size of our airport. At the end of the day it probably came down to money and not wanting to play in the championship more than anything else. A lot of the players just dont have the fight or guts to play a 46 league game season in a division where every team scraps and in which case we''re better off not wasting our money on them.We need players with fire in them even if they see us as a stepping stone.

king canary 7,653 Posted January 27, 2017 You don''t get players over and in the building if you haven''t already got personal terms at least basically worked out. Players don''t fly over to visit a club if they don''t think the wages are on offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the club wants to take the relative minor hit in buying my house off me to get the transfer over the line i''m sure they''d do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,195 Posted January 27, 2017 Reasons to be cheerful parts 1-5.1. He wasn''t totally convinced by the terms ( and had worked out that sterling''s decline would reduce the number of euros in his bank on a monthly basis.)2. He realised from his travel that Norwich, despite being a "Fine City" was a bit of a backwater.3. He didn''t take to Alex Neil.4. He didn''t like the set-up in general enough to make a switch from where he was.5. He looked at the league tables.Oh! No room for portakabins. Let''s make that No. 6. then.
