You've gone early on that. We shall see.

I really think we do. McCallum was excellent last season, and I see his progression taking a sharp upward trajectory with us. Cov have brought some cracking young players through recently.

Apologies if this already dealt with but do Luton get any sort of cut from our deal with Newcastle for Jamal?

They have had some excellent Players especially as where they are located with some bigger clubs around

Can anyone tell me why Jamal wanted to leave? Im not talking this summer, Im talking about the rumours that he wanted out since about mid-season. Wanting Premier League football and bigger club is self-explanatory, but had we stayed up, I think a number of our players would be happy staying, yet Lewis I feel would have gone anyway. Lewis was Farke's first real protege so its not that Farke didnt rate him. Ever since Byram displaced him (because of injury?) and he had to fight for his place he has seemed to have wanted out. Can anyone say why?

I can only speculate but when you are not necessarily first choice anymore then it must be disconcerting and thoughts of a move must be more than fleeting.

And out of the class of 2018, he appeared to get the most stick if posts on here are anything to judge by.

Er, are you forgetting a young guy called Cantwell?  All he has to do is post something on twitter and he’ll get a tonne of grief. Tbh I don’t recall Lewis ever being given stick on here

You're right, Lewis has received little to no stick on here...

I suspect their agents were telling them of interest from top 6 clubs and elite European sides all the while we were bottom of the league and looking like dropping which we ultimately did.

I feel like Godfrey especially may have scuppered his chance of a move to one of these clubs with his poor form since then, hopefully we can get him going again with a quality player like Gibson next to him/challenging him. If we keep Emi and Aarons I'll be delighted!

As for Cantwell, it'll be interesting to see how well he does in the championship this time round as he hardly excelled before but has clearly improved massively over the last year. If he does go, I probably won't miss him as much as the others though

OK, thanks.

Have you seen the thread that's dedicated to transfers, it's called Official Transfer Rumour Thread?

😀

Have you notice this thread has 159 replies and over 6000 views. 

Not bad for an "unofficial thread" ☺️😊😛😄

Oh. And at time of writing "offical thread" hasn't been updated for 19 hours. 

Just saying......

Dabo was the man who chaperoned Sam at Coventry last season.Wish we had bought the pair of full backs.

Just pointing out that this board can and should be multi faceted. 

[Well b back 3,203]

Had Byram not have got injured don’t think Lewis would have played much after Christmas so maybe that’s why he wanted out if indeed he did.

[Well b back 3,203]

Apparently had medical this morning.

Have a word with that Erling Haaland fella, will ya? Im ,sure he'd find Norfolk a very congenial place to move to. What a beast of a young man, what a finisher and what an unselfish lay of to his strike partner. Dortmund must be itching to shift him on.

Mebbe we could get Ajer from Celtic? Big centre-half. Likes to pass it out. Knows British football. (Probably costs far too much).

If we want Norwegian players now, then we have to start looking at norwegian side Bodø/Glimt. They are one of the team in Norway with less money. And after 50% of the games they have not lost. 

 

Patrick Berg (SM) 

Jens Petter Hauge (LM) 

Is 2 players that are ready to play in a team like Norwich

Supposedly all done and dusted, so just waiting for the clubs to announce it

Would be nice to see Bodø win it, considering that they've come second on several occasions.

[TheGoogler 324]

Perhaps it's just me (embarrassingly) but I always view leaving players in one of four categories.

1. The players I can't wait to get out of the club 

2. The players who I think have been good servants but hardly club legends.

3. Players who have given their all for the club. Would buy a pint.

4. Club legends. When they leave it's like losing an arm (just kidding 😂).

I think Jamal probably fits in no.2. Have never really felt he's cared that much about the club. Perhaps harsh, but I've always felt some players give over a feeling they love being here. Jamal has never been one of them.

 

[Cantiaci Canary 557]

I think Jamal deserves a pint or two personally!

Most players of any team don't really care about the club, though the can change towards the end of a players career. 

Footballers are mercenaries who have a shelf life and will go where the money is. There are probably many Norwich players who would go elsewhere if they could get a much better deal. Ditto any other club. 

The days of players running a pub or a newsagent in the area after they retire have long gone. I ignore pretty much anything a player says, because most of the time they talk in cliches and/or complete moronic rubbish. 

Lewis seems a decent guy who wants to get as much out of his career as he can. Staying here would have served him no purpose, so it will be interesting to see how he gets on.

Gone

15 million plus odds and sods.

[Chelm Canary 404]

Mildly amusing after scores of Liverpool fans took to social media to say we'd regret not accepting ther 10 million bid. 

We were right to hold out.
