dylanisabaddog 4,914 Posted January 30, 2018 Manchester City have bid for Mahrez at Leicester who I assume would want a replacement. If Maddison is still here at the close of the window it will be a huge relief Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincsy88 95 Posted January 31, 2018 I''ve just seen someone in a tracksuit in Morrisons riverside who looks like a football and he was then heading to Nandos so we could be signing someone! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted January 31, 2018 Spurs signing Lucas Moura from PSG - hopefully that puts them out of signing Maddison for now. Mahrez to Man City, leaving a gap at Leicester? Would be a good fit for him, but I''d have thought Leicester would be looking further afield for a more experienced (and more expensive) replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woodman 92 Posted January 31, 2018 Jan Molby and John Hartson were rather round when they played for us. The club shop must have been so relieved when they signed - the XXXL shorts would have never been sold otherwise in those seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted January 31, 2018 Apparently we have rejected a 2million bid for Watkins from Cardiff!I will drive him there myself for that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,317 Posted January 31, 2018 Was about to post the same thing re Watkins. if it is true then frankly that is utterly staggering. Why on earth would we turn that down given our need for cash and the fact he is utter sh*t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,604 Posted January 31, 2018 The other point of view is maybe if two teams challenging for promotion from the Championship want him then he isn''t as shit as we think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Canary 699 Posted January 31, 2018 Maybe a tax thing. If we sell him for £2m and we show that as profit this year we are likely to lose about £600k in tax. Sell him in the summer and it''s all to offset any spending/losses next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,604 Posted January 31, 2018 Sell Watkins, stick Middleton on the bench to keep him happy.Simple this management lark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted January 31, 2018 Another thought – didn''t he work with Murty in the youth setup? Maybe Murty has convinced him north of the border with the promise of first-team football before the season is out. BBC also reporting a ''healthy sell-on clause'', so if he does go on to big things we should at least get a cut of the profit. Still a big disappointment, though.

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted January 31, 2018 Don''t worry people. Many of us Tyre Deflaters, are currently on round the clock surveillance (some may call it stalking, but that''s just legal jargon) and I can re-assure you all, we are constantly ''close'' to James Maddison and his car, and are prepared to do what is best for the Norwich City fans. I''m just glad I am on the afternoon shift, so I can get home for my tea.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted January 31, 2018 Very poor that we didn’t sign a more proven striker to replace Cam. If Oliveria gets injured, we’re relying on a German third division striker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently most defend our German recruitment who have all contributed to our lofty mid table position. So in my eyes, none of the German contingent have been particularly successful so far, and I don’t hold much hope for the the new batch. Of course my cynicism will be deemed unfair, and I should be affording the new players ample ‘bedding in’ time. But as a club of our supposed stature in this league, replacing one proven championship striker for an unproven German third division one, is pretty appalling ambition.
