Soldier on 160 Posted January 25 Can’t remember a window where we have been linked with so few players . One really good signing would be a boost . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaUnionCanary 86 Posted January 25 Virtually nothing has happened in any division. Cannot remember the PL being so quiet, couple of loans sum total. Even quiet on rumours, except Man U of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lazza 25 Posted January 25 All teams have no money this season. The clubs that do have cash to burn, aren't allowed to spend it due to FFP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,731 Posted January 25 (edited) Honestly feels a shame. Does feel like we are missing some kind of quality in the team, I mean it's clear we are good enough to beat most midtable and lower sides but soon as we face any side that's bound for promotion we seem to faulter. Right now we are good enough for the top ten but not good enough for top three in my opinion. Edited January 25 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulfotto 635 Posted January 25 (edited) It’s alright for some Man City have just splashed 12.5 million on some 18 yr old who has played 6 professional games. That said I think he was the stand out in a recent youth World Cup. Edited January 25 by Ulfotto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wins v Hull, West Brom and draws v Binners and S'oton easily refute that as does our loss to Millwall amply show. It is about how well the team is doing now. No more abject defeats at the hands of Plymouth. We can now go toe to toe with those looking to be in the play offs. Unfortunately, what we are missing is a player who has 'an eye for the goal'. Both no Idah and Barn door are ineffectual in front of goal. Rowe has performed miracles, but we need another Holt/Pukki. Much of the transfer market is dependent on one or two big transfers, whereby the money the filters down. That has not happened at the PL level, and so it is much like a housing chain. All stuck waiting. Until a club can buy A, they will not sell B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraytonBoy 152 Posted January 27 Seems Leicester are willing to let Dewsbury-Hall go for £30 million, very odd to sell your top scorer when you're nailed on for promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,242 Posted January 27 It's surprising how quickly the flipside of FFP has kicked in. Ultimately lack of player trading will kill off the smaller less well off clubs. We have several players out of contract in the summer. It will be a struggle to replace them with quality if nobody is selling players! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't it the other way around? Barring Leeds and Leicester we have a good record against top half teams, but then get battered by Plymouth and lose to Rotherham 🤷♂️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norwich canary 73 Posted January 27 I can’t believe we appointed this knapper fella he clearly is utterly clueless can’t see we have a god awful coach, can see they squad needs strengthening , can’t communicate with the fans yet another senior appointment we have got wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think when Mark A said that he was going to meet with Knapper to discuss his 'needs' ahead of the transfer window there was, justifiably. some hope that this might mean some capital being found to do a modest amount of business, even if just a loan player or two. Not investing in the squad at all when we're 2 points off the play off places would be a bit silly wouldn't it? The play off games alone if we played all 3 would be worth a few million to the club. I will be disappointed if we didn't bring in a couple, preferably a DM and backup RB, there are clearly big holes in the squad where these players should be. Hwang went back to Forest, and Forshaw came off the payroll, I was hoping and still am that this frees up wages for a couple of loans at least?

KiwiScot 1,449 Posted January 28 Norwich I'm surprised will bring in any main players. Also for others a lot of top players will be wanting Euro squad places and more reluclant to move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The obvious market there is players not currently in first team plans who have an eye for the Euros with their respective countries. I remember hearing an interview with Robert Page where he wanted his squad members to get moves elsewhere if they currently weren't playing first team football. I see David Brooks is wanting a move now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
