Bill 1,788 Posted June 4, 2010 Quite a contrast between the two club either end of the A140.City are bringing in players without any noticable need to sell or get rid. Certainly a couple or more will go, as will some on loan, but the major difference is in our ability to do this BEFORE the others depart.Whereas the poor old paupers are dependent on the ''mad dog walker'' being able to rustle up a few shillings (by clearing out a bit of dross from poorman rd) before anyone else can be brought in. What should have been blindingly obvious to anyone with an IQ in double figures was confirmed ths morning by the binner in chief, Simon Clegg. It''s rather like watching Britains Got Talent where the humour there is often not in the hapless state of the ''contestants'', but in their complete lack of grasp of reality. Much as with the dimwitsExpect quite a bit of squeaking when a major sale takes place at poorman road this summer as they to try to balance the books. I wonder if the penny will finally drop or will our terminally dim neighbours continue bleating about how wealthy they are. A club £40m in debt (and rising) WITHOUT the means to meet the payments should be a big enough club.My suggestion is that lambert is concentrating on getting his squad fixed up asap, then full tilt in preperation for next season. Id any of the targets can''t be got then a ''fringe'' player will be used tenporarily, otherwise those fringe players will be shipped out mid July onwards.Certainly seems to be more purpose and focus coming rom the club.

bluemike 0 Posted June 4, 2010 There are some decent posters on here I have to say, but you pal are a twat of the first order, you have some fixation with ITFC just as you probably do your sister or cousin or something. The utter crap that comes out of your mouth is laughable and really embarrasses the decent NCFC fans of which there are many, it is clearly beyond you to have a decent intelligent conversation about football with a bit of friendly banter, you would rather inflame hatred and ill feeling. I cant even be bothered to address the crap on some of your posts, I will save it for decent fans, regardless of who they support !. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]mike what he stated was nearly all factual, you havent signed anyone we have, your 40million in debt without many assets, not even your own ground. Royston Keane is not going to take you to the promise land and keep you there he spent nearly 100million or sumthing stupid doing it with Sunderland your pockets arnt that deep. And you say hes obssesed with ITFC well your quite obviusly reading the Pinkun frequently, which by the way is Norwich messageboard, pot kettle black.Lastly **** off Roy Keane, oh what can it mean to a, sad irish ******* and a **** football team.

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted June 4, 2010 Roy Keane suffers from the same managerial problem as Glenn Hoddle (amongst others). he was a top player and simply cannot manage players he knows will never be as good as he was. This is why top players seldom make top managers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted June 4, 2010 We spent 500k on Hooze. Is he five times better than recent signings, like Smith?Perhaps Lambet is saving his money for that most expensive commodity of goalscorer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluemike 0 Posted June 4, 2010 [quote user="blahblahblah"]The lack of response probably suggests what most people think of this mike.[/quote]Yeah I guess it does, the thing is you dont have to be Einstein to know we have fucked up badly as a club in the last few years, surely it is now the right thing to do in shipping out deadwood before bringing more new players in ? Im actually glad evans seems to be controlling it better than others before him. I do agree it is good to go into pre season with your new signings in place but do you guys honestly think the players Lambert has brought in are good championship players ? i have my doubts, but good luck to the guy, I have nothing against Lambert he did a good job last season, it will get harder, it just drives me nuts with all the hatred that seems to abound in this guys posts, banter is one thing, I guess its my fault for looking at your forum, I actually enjoy reading some of it, and as I say there are some good posters on here. I just hope the fact we are waiting before signing players means that when we do we will be pleased unlike the crap of last season, Martin and priskin to name but two. The money for a top striker will be there if and when this player becomes available, irrespective of if we have cleared some deadwood out or not. Anyhow for all the decent fans on here, cant wait for the rivalry to resume, good luck next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blahblahblah 2 Posted June 4, 2010 Where Lambert is concerned, and bearing in mind it''s still early June, I think he is bringing in squad players that he trusts to do a job and work hard at the moment - central defender Elliot Ward looks to be a good signing, but if he and Whitbread are both out (they have often been injured), then we will be left with Nelson & Askou facing some pretty pacey front men. Steve Smith also looks to be a good signing, but Norwich do need to replace more players than most championship sides, which is why it''s encouraging to see us a couple of 1st teamers, and a couple of squad players early. We have just signed up this scout from Rangers, I would imagine that he will have a lot of input into subsequent signings.Unless Evans provides Keane with some fairly special money, I think Ipswich are looking at mid-table again. All clubs have to be prudent at the moment, a club that doesn''t own its'' ground even more so. But City1st was involved in some fairly obvious trolling, and until you bit, I think his post would have gone unreplied. You might be one of them [;0], but most people on here would rather have a chat and a bit of banter than grandstand in the manner that City1st did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You wont find hardly any players in the championship that have played at this level.David fox numerous colchester fans are gutted he has left saying he is their best footballer, you would expect them being as bitter as they are to say rubbish hes naff your going down, but they are gutted.Crofts brightons captain and player of the season wich is both good signs that he can make the step up.

You are right at the moment we do look a mid table team at best, but the wheeling and dealing hasnt begun yey, we will be moving a few out and 4/5 new players will be coming in, will they be good enough ? who knows, one thing I do know is that we will start better than last season, it couldnt be worse, if we do strengthen in the right areas we should be close to the play offs as from Jan onwards our form was top 6 with a team we all agree was not that special.

Bill 1,788 Posted June 4, 2010 There was NOt any bid for Chopra.As to banter perhaps our mockney neighbour might wish to point out the hate. I can only wonder what banter would there be were it us to have defrauded numerous folk. Us £40m in debt with no means of meeting that debt. Us unable to sugn players. As to the original post it was in reponse to Clegg''s statement today that you have to get rid of players before being ablle to sign any. Now I''m sure that''s not the state of play you dimwits have been bleating out - so maybe accept that banter (binter?) is not a one way process.And, as pointed out, if you don''t like us laughing at your grubby little club then don''t read the posts.RIPswich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
