Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 7, 2013 I was genuinely excited about this window, no need to sell, progressive club, up to £30m to spend, and yet other than Redmond joining (RVW had already agreed deal) we have 2 key players that look like they are about to leave!The only way i can forgive these two leaving is if some absolute beastly deals are done to replace them. £10m double deal for Forster and Hooper? Perhaps we should be aiming even higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 7, 2013 No panic, still 6 weeks to sort it out. I just hadn''t envisaged having to deal with first team players leaving.I''m hoping these deals work like buying a house with a chain. Perhaps behind the scenes, we''ve secured a couple of top targets already to sort out the gaps left by Ruddy and Holt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggy 0 Posted July 7, 2013 Too early to panic. Think the Ruddy thing has surprised everybody, but the time to panic is early-August if our squad doesn''t look strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redders Right Foot 22 Posted July 7, 2013 as far as I''m aware norwich haven''t accepted anything for ruddy yet. one player is looking like he is going who wasn''t likely to be a regular starter.nothing against holt, love the man, but some people are way overreacting.

Thirsty Lizard 3,164 Posted July 7, 2013 In reply to the OP''s original question, the answer is very simple.It''s the transfer window and Norwich City have let some players go, have sold some others and are buying in quality replacements. Really nothing to worry about - in fact something to be rather excited about I would say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flecky76 0 Posted July 7, 2013 I do think we are selling Holt a year too soon. There are a whole list of clubs out there who believe, just when they think they''ve got his league cracked and can finally move forward, it comes back to bite them.If Holt leaves, then the sum total of PL goals between our existing strike force will be NIL. We so needed Holt to help bridge that gap between existing and new incoming strikers IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crabbycanary 2 Posted July 7, 2013 What do people mean by ''bridging the gap''? Showing them how to score a goal? (RVW is a Dutch international) If it''s Hooper, then that isn''t required either. Show them where to park at Colney? The correct way to do their laces up?Tell them who not to share a room with on away trips?Show them where Nandos is? What exactly?

Redders Right Foot 22 Posted July 7, 2013 you''d think the man (and the club) were dying by some of the reactions on here! my god!he''s a legend, yes.he''s helped us, yes.but this time last year, weren''t you all saying "we will be fine without him" when he was ready to leave us? what''s so different now? besides the fact that we have more money.

Thorny 0 Posted July 7, 2013 Nice hot weather at the moment, no worries for Anglian Water and a drought. A few City fans of a nervous disposition easily cure that. It''s the life of football. We won''t sell unless we can get equal or better in now and I''m pretty sure at this stage of returning to the Premiership the ones who have got us to where we are now won''t shoot ourselves in the foot. We''ve got RvW in, a potentially massive improvement on last years no show in front of goal last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mervmeister 18 Posted July 8, 2013 Lets not forget majority of us on here towards end of last season wanted to start Kei/Becchio ahead of Holt. We are looking to sign better players. Surely now is less of an issue than last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Gay Schoolboy 0 Posted July 8, 2013 Lets wait and see what happens and why. If Holt wants to leave to be closer to his family then personally I''ll wish him all the best and hope he and Wigan go out and win the Europa League. If its a football decision by Hughton and his team, I think its a mistake, and rightly or wrongly, its one that will almost certainly be used against him by the fans if things don''t go well.
