Indy 3,283 Posted July 29, 2020 Funny how he wants to play at the highest level! Shame he didn’t play in the premiership when he had the chance......I’d make sure he’s one of the first out the door with his attitude and performances, don’t need players who can’t play. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It Does not read well at all i am not worried about Drmic i hope he goes BUT are other players like Pukki thinking the same as in tactics Not fun for a striker to run for 90 mins without getting chances created for them i have a feeling we are seeing a bit of why we were rubbish after lock down and the players dressing room atmosphere like i said Drmic has not done well here and if he wants to go fine but he does speak the truth about chances etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norwich R Us 59 Posted July 29, 2020 Urgh that is an ugly interview. If his popularity was waning before... well, that attitude is not exactly going to win many people back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 29, 2020 Can’t say I see anything wrong with the interview personally. Player at relegated club is considering his future shocker! Didn’t Tettey do an interview after one of the other relegations flat out saying he wanted to leave? I think this is just more honesty in an interview than we are used to from UK media - players are generally much more guarded here and give it all the platitudes. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted July 29, 2020 I get where he’s coming from in terms of being constantly pegged back, we suffered all season from poor ball retention and rarely found ourselves on the front door, it’s one of the reasons Pukki’s goals tailed off and I can’t imagine it was much fun for a striker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That may possibly be the case, but what’s this BS about “parking the bus”? That’s not how we’ve played generally this season, and specifically in the 7 games in which he’s played 45 minutes or more, we had the majority of possession in 3 of them-55%, 58% and 58%-and in 2 more we had 48% and 47%. It was only the Chelsea game-32%-and the Burnley game in which he got sent off-42%-that you could say the opposition dominated possession. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obvious the players were not displaying any degree of desire or appetite for a fight post lockdown. I think it just reflects that things haven’t been going well. Reading too much into some out of context lines from an interview in a different language usually leads to making some heroic assumptions that over inflate small points. 10 minutes ago, Mr Angry said: That may possibly be the case, but what’s this BS about “parking the bus”?

I presume he is just thinking about the Chelsea game - which he received a lot of stick (including the infamous Instagram messages). I doubt he had all the possession stats in his mind when he said that. He might have been asked about just that game or the abuse he made public. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted July 29, 2020 One that has not worked out unfortunately and i do not expect things to get any better in the championship with him. If there is any possibility of getting rid and saving some cash on the deal i would love to see it happen. He had a bright start to his career but injuries have put paid to that he has not had a half decent season for about 5 years and he is still only 27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny Foggo 1,116 Posted July 29, 2020 Park the bus probably the wrong phase but as English is not his first language..... Think it's probably best for all concerned if he goes but if he is on the reported £20k a week, think it will cost us to end an unsuccessful stint in the yellow and green.

There is an 'in the know' guy on twitter and has got a lot right recently and appears to have an inside line or two at the club... anyway he recently said Drmic is our highest earner and on around £50k a week (benefits of a free transfer).

HazzaJet 252 Posted July 29, 2020 Injury prone and total failure in the Premiership this season, might do ok in the Champ next season. Was a free agent though so has only cost us his wages, and if we manage to get an offer for him I think we should take it as I believe he’s currently the highest earning player in the squad. That only leaves us with Pukki and Idah though, with Pukki touted for a move and possibly even past it following the injury he picked up in December - is he going to be challenging for the golden boot in the Champ again next season? I also still have uncertainty over whether Idah is ready for the Champ as well. If Drmic does go I think we should look at replacing him with someone around his age and isn’t injury prone, preferably from a Prem or Champ club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this is true, a parting may be very mutually beneficial outcome here All players signed last summer had a 50% wage reduction written into their contracts. So if Drmic was on £50k a week in the Prem, he’ll be on £25k now. The last time Norwich were relegated from the Prem they had 12 players on over £20k a week - this time Drmic is the only one.
