Minster Canary 0 Posted July 18, 2009 Now excuse me for jumping the gun here, but Gunny really is beginning to uncover some unknown gems. I know it''s only Dartford, Raith, St Johnstone and Airdrie, but Maric and Askou have really impressed by the sounds of things, put McSmall in there as well and remember it was Gunn who brought Cody in February, and it becomes clear he is looking for cheap yet cheerful solutions to becoming a real force in this league. It''s something Worthy didn''t do, Grant tried and failed to do (Strihavka) and Roeder wouldn''t take anyone if it wasn''t a loan deal. So, as I said I may really be jumping to a positive conclusion but at the moment I can''t help but get these positive vibes from Team Gunn''s dealings in the market.OTBC.

lynn canary 0 Posted July 18, 2009 Well done Gunn. Got the team working as an acutal team again instead of individuals and well done for signing players that want to play for Norwich and not making a team full of loans. Up the City Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is bringing in permanent players that want to play for us.He has shown in the pre season games he is willing to give everyone a shout including the younger players.

Can''t wait forthe start of the season and will be even more excited if we signed Whaley, Maric, Askou, McVeigh and maybe one or two players that we haven''t been linked with. Also a goalscorer to partner Maric. If we signed all of those then i would feel like this years team would be stronger than last year''s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still think the jury is out on Gunn.He is still unproven. If we don''t do well this year I don''t think he will be given long. There is no doubt that this is NOW Bryan Gunn''s team, totally changed from last year.This is where it counts.IMHO Gunn is doing all the right things. I actually see it as a team effort on some of the signings (Nelson/Butterworth, Theoklitos/Crook ect ect ect)He is sticking to his promises. Not only that I think his shrewd signings have allowed us to keep some of our "powder dry for some bigger signings.The games in scotland proved how much of a "squad game" its becoming when you have injuries.Most of the LG 1 teams wont have the squad depth we will have, some will struggle getting 18 pros out there on a saturday.With 7 subs you need lots of cover at various positions..........

Tickers 0 Posted July 18, 2009 It''s somewhat unfair to compare the people brought in by Gunn againstthose brought in by previous managers, since none of them were lookingfor League One standard players (they may have brought some in, but they weren''t trying to!)

hogesar 9,618 Posted July 18, 2009 [quote user="St. Cluck"]God almighty....You sheep never bloody learn do you?..........[/quote]I''m not convinced either way. HOWEVER, Gunn said, at the open day, specifcally "we need contracted players who want to play for norwich city". Many of us questioned if he''d achieve that in League One with an even further limited budget, but so far he has kept to his word and he deserves credit for that.Plus he signed my bag at fakenham, and is a really friendly bloke [:)] Not that my bag guarantees us promotion, but oh well.
