NCFC since 1986 0 Posted July 15, 2008 then surely we will hear something before tomorrow nights game given that it''s the first pre-season game in front of a viewing public adn one would assume they will be taking part....given of course there are some "secret" players/trialists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frying Pan Eyes 0 Posted July 15, 2008 I honestly think there are a few surprises going to be unveiled in the next 2-3 days. Im confident Glenn will bring in a few more faces yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casper 0 Posted July 15, 2008 I think there are a lot of players that we have been linked with which as yet have not transferred to other clubs. Players such as Gorkks, Ameobi, Rigters, Gow, Bell, Rasiek, Evans and probably others have all been linked with Norwich this summer and lets face it none of us would be surprised if they transferred/loaned from their incumbent between now and the start of the season. I am not saying that any of these players will come to Norwich, but they are going to go somewhere, I guess the selling club are holding out for more money or making sure they get a replacement, similar to us with Shackell if the rumours are true. At the moment we all know that the squad is nowhere near good enough to have a realistic playoff chance. I expect up to 5/6 more players coming in, a goalkeeper, 2/3 defenders and 2/3 forwards. Sadly, and I am crap at this but, we all have to have patience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted July 15, 2008 I don''t think there is any chance of ''going with what we''ve got'' though I do find it extraordinary that there is nothing at all coming out of the club, as that is just weird given that we are little more than 3 weeks away from the big kick-off. There is absolutely nothing. What adds to the strangeness is that we''ve not heard anything from GR - or others - for well over a week. I just checked and there has only been one article on Canariesworld since 4 July (this was the report just after the players returned for preseason training) and that was an Anglia tv interview with Ryan B on the 15th. You would have thought that there would have at least been a ''general'' press conference when they came back from Devon, a mention that we are still in for several players, or an interview on canariesworld, but nothing of interest has been reported by the club for weeks. You have to just hope that this is the lull before the proverbial storm, and that there''s tonnes going on behind the scenes with a multiple unveiling and/or news of some investment dead soon...but for some reason the longer it goes on, the less I am getting the feeling that it is a ''good'' silence.At least we have our first pre-season friendly tomorrow - you''d have thought that the club will have to start saying something about that, at least!

O.T.B.C 0 Posted July 15, 2008 Well there is a press conference after the game, you never know, it might not be just to talk about the game, it could be about new players, somehow I doubt it. Annoying me now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted July 15, 2008 I''m an eternal optimist in these things, but the lack of news is certainly beginning to grate. I just can''t quite see that all the releasing of players, the backroom reorganisation and so on isn''t part of a decent, formed, plan. The ''only'' problem being that in order to carry out a plan at a football club, you need a decent squad of players. Currently, per the official NCFC site, our squad has only 4 defenders (+ Ryan B who isn''t on there yet) and 4 strikers (including Daley, Renton and Martin)...the only part of the squad that looks remotely ok (and does look pretty well set) is m/f where we have 12. IMO we need 6 players at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
