Bennett bid

Recommended Posts

I didnt realise we had bid that much for him, i think this transfer was a big risk for us. I have no question that if Lambert and McNally were willing to splurge that amount of money on the lad he has the potential of being a top draw player. All im saying is for 3.5 mill there are bankers out there that can pretty much guarantee goals and performances. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/9384922.stm

the 3.5 million was referring to the price we paid for Earnshaw, apparently our final bid for Bennett was approaching 1 million

This is how silly rumours and threads start, with people not reading properly. There is no suggestion anywhere that we offered 3.5m. Which would have been insane. I doubt it was more than 1.5m and would be amazed if it was that much.Does at least show that we were preparing to ''go for it''.

"Which then probably means we didn''t pay £1.2 million for Surman like everyone said"

The club accounts state that £1.4m IN TOTAL was paid out in 2009/10

Though legally audited accounts are hardly a reliable basis for fact when set against sky sports football claims.

"Though legally audited accounts are hardly a reliable basis for fact when set against sky sports football claims."I take it there''s a liberal sprinkling of sarcasm in that sentence C1st!?

McNally said on Radio Norfolk we had offered a 7 figure sum and would have been the highest fee since Earnshaw.So if we did pay £1.2m for Surman it will be above that but not as much as the £3.5m we paid for Earnshaw.[IMG]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IY1-YF5ZKTA/THtuWAcs0VI/AAAAAAAAAsA/yifkdOtsnkU/s1600/simples.bmp[/IMG]
