Wings of a Sparrow 1,428 Posted September 1, 2023 Sky have made it a load of over hyped nonsense where not a lot really happens and the richest clubs pay over the odds. I just see the Saudis have reportedly made a bid for Mo Salah for £150m. That will be interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 188 Posted September 1, 2023 Not at all. Especially if it comes to a close and Norwich trot out the old "...we go with what we've got" line that was so beloved of the latter years of Worthy's reign and the period immediately afterwards. Daryl Russell pushed up front, that'll work. Who will this seasons Rusty be? 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,630 Posted September 1, 2023 No. It's just more nonsense for the Armchairites. The last transfers should take place before the season starts. Ins and outs. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,317 Posted September 1, 2023 I do, love it when teams buy for stupid money and then the player turns out crap! ( not Norwich but other teams like Manure who have a history of over paying)…. Salah is the one I’m watching, how would Liverpool turn down £150 million for him! I’m sure at £200 million will buy him! Absolutely stupid! You could buy our squad and club for half that! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course we're involved. We've been linked with 3 players in the last 2 days. We know they're actively trying to sort a transfer as we speak. We might even sell Andy Omo if the right bid comes in. I don't get this frustration over transfers. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that stopped in part because twitter became so prevalent and also in part after that season someone stuck a dildo in the reporter's ear at Colney. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Stiepermann 1,153 Posted September 1, 2023 I find a morbid fascination watching clubs panic buy while spending huge amounts of money. As a Norwich fan it's usually quite dull (which is a good thing in terms of how we're run) but if we are linked with players a lot on deadline day it can alleviate some boredom checking this website every now and again to see if anythings happened. If there were lots of rumors about our star players though I'd be hating it. Even if we don't sign anyone today keeping Sara is a big win. I have no idea why lower PL clubs haven't come in for him, he scores goals from nothing and is a set piece specialist, that's so valuable. But I'm delighted he's staying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,745 Posted September 1, 2023 It's basically a TV feature for fake armchair fans of the top clubs to get really excited and buy shirts of players who are panic buys or marketing exploits. As a kid it's quite exciting but beyond that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,277 Posted September 2, 2023 The Saudi window is open until the 7th. No Salad might still move yet for £200m. That would cover Liverpool missing out on Champions League.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,857 Posted September 2, 2023 The transfer thread got around 1,000 posts yesterday, so plenty of people clearly love it. It feels a little like Christmas. It's OK, but seemed more enjoyable when I was a kid. Summer 2008 deadline day will never be topped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
