They may surprise us and be effective in the Championship (if they're still here) but I'm not holding my breath that Drmic will be our Mirtovic at that level... Dmic is our Ryan Jarvis, but worse.

I don't think he does though because I think we've all seen both Rupp and Drmic running around ineffectively and without purpose in every game they've played.

His task was to implement a philosophy throughout the club to move us forwards and also develop some youth to generate some much needed revenue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted July 17, 2020 I’m afraid I’ve seen nothing from either Drmic or Rupp that gives me any confidence in their abilities this season or next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCFCInnit 52 Posted July 17, 2020 FFS the recruitment has been dire. Even worse if the plan was for the Championship after netting the zillions for being relegated. Those commentators who say that Norwich have been cynical in anticipating parachute payments have made a point that needs considering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,691 Posted July 17, 2020 42 minutes ago, Branston Pickle said: I really don’t get the dislike of Rupp - he’s not done that much wrong, not a glamour player but will do a job. Drmic on the other hand really looks like a fish out of water. Think it's because he keeps starting over players who some may argue deserve to start more, nevermind nobody knowing if hes a winger or a midfielder- Nevermind whether or not his recent performances have been good enough for him to warrent a start. Nevermind him being German and the rumours of Farke favouring him over others for that reason alone.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Hopefully he's talking them up so that we can offload them to another Club that's as stupid as us to believe him Edited July 17, 2020 by Making Plans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thumbbass 318 Posted July 17, 2020 I see the club's recruitment as an educated gamble. Spend 20m on 10 players and hope that 2 of them make it. It's like buying cars at an auction. Unfortunately Drmic has a Justin Bieber cd stuck in the player and although it starts, won't do anything else. Rupp is a fiesta van, boring, decent engine but don't think about overtaking, you can't pass... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon Bennett 783 Posted July 17, 2020 Several of our foreign players massively upped their game from their first season to their second once they had settled in to the club and our country, I remember Zimmermann, Stiepermann and Vrancic off the top of my head getting grief on here and being declared not good enough blah blah blah. Therefore it’s surprising that nobody seems willing to entertain the idea that these players might do the same and would rather write them off already. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never mind, at least McLean, Drmic and Rupp 'covered an unbelievable amount of ground ' The manager that won the League we are just about to go in to last year.

Crafty Canary 495 Posted July 17, 2020 2 hours ago, NeymarSmith said: Yeah totally, different kettle of fish the prem and champ. But from what you have seen what do you think? Rupp bit a starter and drmic not even squad tbh Rupp I think can do a job as a squad player. Drmic is certainly not PL quality but in the Championship there will be more chances and he may show his mettle. I’m willing to give him the chance to show us what he can do.

We did win the league, but records show that it wasnt without flaws in our playing style. The situation remains unresolved, the records clearly show that our season has been one of the worst ever. I'm sure we are all on the same page, hoping that we do well this coming season, but I still personally see that the huge flaw in our system is still there. Therefore I expect to see lots of goals conceded and since we're not scoring at present, it could be a problem. Thats not 'building a case against Farke' but we would be blind not to acknowledge the flaws in our system and that Farke is responsible for that. Just because we support our club, doesn't mean we have to ignore the elephant in the room. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted July 17, 2020 It was a dumb thing for Farke to do, trying to defend the indefensible. The majority don't believe him and even if they did they care not one jot how much ground they've covered unless it results in something positive, which it doesn't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
