Move Klose 303 Posted June 17, 2018 Sadly we wanted a new side built round the younger players, but these are the ones getting sold.We wanted a side built round Murphys, Maddison, Pritchard etc but now these are gone/going we are still left with Jarvis, Naismith, Wildschut and there massive wages.Im not blaming the current regime because its the position webbers been put in, and you cant sell players no one wants to buy, its just a shame we dont have the time to build that side around 3 or 4 good young players.

vlad666 203 Posted June 17, 2018 This is our future under this regime. With no big investment, our only hope to being competitive is to have a conveyor belt of talent that can be sold to try a build a promotion winning side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted June 17, 2018 Losing our talent and replacing with league one standard/budget buys is not giving me much optimism. I say again that the board have grown stale and can take us no further. They seek to run the club on yesterday’s provincial model of prudence in a league that seeks interest from global investors. We can not afford to compete and without Maddison and Murphy it is very difficult to see where goals are coming from. Decent championship strikers cost upwards of £10m in today’s market. I also think the tactics are all wrong and dear we will lose Oliviera only to discover no forward does well with so little provision. And he is better than anything else we can get.

Crafty Canary 495 Posted June 17, 2018 I wonder if the management are looking at a loan deal with the scum to let them have the snake pit fans next season? This would remind the farmhands what a crowd looks like and we will get some extra dosh from the loan fee. Everything appears to be up for grabs these days.

Icecream Snow 761 Posted June 17, 2018 Maddison''s progress under Farke was so rapid that we were never going to keep him. A guy going to the Premiership for £25million would have forced a move one way or the other. Better to do it now, early in the window, and have some money to spend. People on here seem to forget Nigel Worthington''s comments about how keeping Dean Ashton when we went down was a mistake, because his heart wasn''t in it, and the bids had turned his head.It''s crazy that a guy can go from a bit-part player (not even a starter) to a £25million player in a season, and the coach that believed in him and developed him never gets any credit.

hampton canary 24 Posted June 18, 2018 All the players below have ben sold for very good fees and we now have money in the bank to look for replacements:Pritchard and Murphy wanted to leave for the PremiershipMaddison was always going to the PremiershipThere were not many who wanted Watkins to stayIn addition we could still sell Oliveira, Pinto, Naismith, Martin, Franke, Wildshutt and possibly McGovern to bring in more money.The main squad currently includes Hanley, Klose, Zimmermann, Lewis, Raggett, Husband, Stiepermann, Tettey, Trybul, Vrancic, McLean, Buendia, Srbeny, and Hernandez. Meanwhile, we still have some very good returning youngsters in Godfrey, Thompson, Matthews and Cantwell, who could feature next season; not forgetting those in the under 23 squad. If we can sign / loan two good strikers, a right back and a keeper I believe the rebuild is almost complete and we should be ready to compete next season.I still have faith in Webber getting it right.

sgncfc 1,225 Posted June 19, 2018 How many times do people have to be told the same things?Norwich have always had to sell their best players - always. Even when we were an "established" top flight team; Chris Sutton, Ruel Fox, Robert Fleck - all were sold.We are not - and never will be - capable of a sustained stay in the top division. We will have occasional moments of light but like every other team in a similar sized city we will always eventually be relegated. As will Leicester. They are having their moment (like Blackburn did) but give it 5 or 6 years and they will be relegated.It''s football - unless your team has a catchment of a million people and a stadium for 50,000 and a billionaire owner it can''t possibly change.
