Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted November 12, 2008 With their huge squad they can afford to allow SIXTEEN players to go out on loan - including, of course, Leroy Lita. Somewhat of a contrast with the situation here at Little Old Norwich, don''t you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was that the point you were trying to make? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are in a deep, deep hole! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meaning that they have had a Premiership turnover for two years. Most championship squads are actually of a similar size to ours, its just that they own their players.

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted November 12, 2008 I don''t remember us having anything like 40 players in our squad, either during our spell in the Premiership, or while we enjoyed the benefits of parachute payments, do you?? Ambition? My A.rse! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ambition? My A.rse! [/quote]Do we want 40 players in our squad, looking to shift 16 of them out on loan each season? Is that a mark of a club''s ambition now? I''m confused by this one...

Much like Watford in fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
