Apologies if this has already been mentioned but I''ve just come accross this article http://www.tribalfootball.com/norwich-signing-smith-reveals-late-rangers-offer-881601 where Smith says he was offered a higher salary to stay with the Gers. Nice to see it''s not always about cash with some players...

The Lambert Factor. [Y]

The other interesting factor is it seems he is coming here to be first choice and not merely backup to Drury.

He talks about not getting a run of games at Rangers so I can''t imagine he has come here to sit on the bench.

Simon Lappin will be relieved-odds on him having to cover at left back have receded dramatically now-thankfully!!

Must be end of Wiggins as well-is he under contract and are we entitled to a transfer fee, of some sort, from Bournemouth? Should include a sell on clause.

A good sign. Shows he wants to make a real go of it down here.

Agreed, the compeition between Martin and Spillane is nowhere near as strong.

Doubt that we would get a fee from Bournemouth, they are skint. They had a transfer embargo for most of last season!

We could just give him to them of course, with a 50% sell on clause.

QPR must be poison. A few years back we had defender Taylor on loan from Birmingham and he turned down a trade to QPR for more than our tightwad board was offering because he really wanted to play for Norwich.

Maybe they can play 1k
