Dr. Ink 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Very happy with the comings and goings. The spine of the team is unaffected and no one has left who we will really miss. The incomings are nearly all loans I know, but this is a perfectly acceptable part of modern football, and all have something to prove, be it an international place, or a step up in level.Credit to Gunny and the Board for getting this done within the budget constraints we have.

colneycanary 0 Posted February 2, 2009 We could of done with 1 more centreback and 1 more forward. You must not forget that besides Cody Mcdonald, the rest are all loan signings and will be leaving come the end of the season. Again we''ve spent very little this transfer window!!!

Crafty Canary 547 Posted February 2, 2009 Looks as if there will be more balance in the side and it will be interesting to see how Gunny and Co use the new signings. I would imagine that Carney and McDonald will be fringe players initially at least. Killen and Gow up front perhaps with usual group in mid-field and Leijer to replace Grounds at CB and maybe grounds reoplacing Otsemebor at RB? Interesting times ahead but whether it will be enough time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMF 1,010 Posted February 2, 2009 I really wish someone would come clean on just how much money these loans are actually costing us. There seems to be a preception in some quarters that they don''t cost anything, but that is rarely the case with loan fees being common place. Only then can someone actually be certain whether there''s been a profit or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Ink 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Cadburies Nut,Yawn....Compared to some of the teams around us, we have done very well with limited funds.If Killen, Gow & Co perform well and we pull away from the bottom will you still be moaning Cadburies Nut? Would you rather we spent the Bell money on 3 or players worth 100,000 each. Sorry pal you are in cloud cuckoo land if you think we can get players like that for free on a permanent!

I may not care if you have no hair, but you have shown in as little as two weeks that you are no football manager Bryan.As you say congratulations to the board for once again making a profit this transfer window...

Well done!I support the team, Gunny and crew but this board is something else. [/quote] What do you mean the 2nd January transfer window running..... ?? Make that about the last 6 or 7 transfer windows full stop...unfortunately like it or not this board has dug us into this hole and we have to sell our assets (i.e. better players) to service the debts they have built up. Its either service these debts or go into adminstration which would result in Delia and MWJ losing alot of the money they invested (loaned). This is something they obviously don''t want to do (understandably so) so what else do they do to make good these payments ? If no new investment is found, it will either mean they have to put their hands in their pockets again (as per the £2m they had to put in when the Turners decided enough was enough) or we will have to continue to sell off our other playing assets (Marshall, Clingan, & Croft) or start selling off some of the fixed assets (Colney, or even Carrow Road itself).. unfortunately that is the way of modern football to an extent - but our plight has been worsened by poor investment decisions by the board over the past 5-6 years so I for one don''t feel sorry for Delia one little bit - unfortunately it is us as fans that will, and have suffered, due to a continually mediocre football team and the poor performances on the pitch that naturally follow.

Show Me What You Gooot! 0 Posted February 2, 2009 I am always hopeful and new players/managers work out but come on. This "new look" team is made up of more loans and a player signed from a team 6/7 leagues below us. Thats a hell of a risk for a team fighting relegation into League 1 to take, as was the appointment of Gunn.As I''ve said I do really hope things work out but its as if the board doesn''t realise the situation we''re in in the league.

Blofield Canary 12 Posted February 2, 2009 Some of you lot are beyond belief. We have always been a selling club ever since I can remember. (Season ticket for 30 years)So just how much profit have we made this window, I''m struggling to see much profit. According to some on here we only got £100,000 for Bell and we have spent that on Mcdonald.We are certainly a lot stronger than we were before the window so stop moaning and get behind the team.
