Newton 0 Posted February 2, 2015 Out whole transfer policy seems to be built around selling Olsson - they are now reporting that after being persuaded to speak to WBA (appears to have taken all day) he has decided to say no (according to reports) - cant blame him they will be with us in the Champs next season Without this deal which would have given us Dorrons & £2M (Noone) we dont look as tho we doing anything other than signing the French guy from Hamilton for £1MIf we dont improve squad we stuck in the champs - sad day for Norwich as we appear to have run out of cash within 9 mths of being relegatedThank u Board - we def a well managed clubPS Hope I''m wrongCould be wroong but lets see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maccys Back 0 Posted February 2, 2015 Mentioned it a week or so ago that we''d hear a name or two that''s decent and mcnally would do the old "we just couldn''t tie the deal up in time" boll0cks. THE ROTT HAS SET IN!Championship obscurity here we come! Writings been on the wall since Neil1 was gifted the job. No doubt i''ll be "wrong" though like when saying we''ll end up relegated 4 months into last season. While the happy clappers insisted hughton was god, negative football''s the future, neil adam''s is a great replacement that shows h''ambition for these last 5 games. Its the happy clappy fans and non plussed board that have made this club the way it is TODAY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need a smaller, more balanced squad, not a larger one.Rather than guessing and calling them facts, why not do what everyone else does and wait until tomorrow when the dust has settled.

Branston Pickle 3,635 Posted February 2, 2015 Lol This is hilarious - you hear stuff all from the whiners all day but then out they come at the last minute.....though how is it that we''ve signed a guy for £1m+ if we have no money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newton 0 Posted February 3, 2015 Chicken typical post - no comment just jumbled thinkingYou have never proved me wrong - you just make ridiculous statements as you ramble onPinkun says moves linked - not me - or is that not a factOh no we need a smaller balanced squad so we just pretended to sign players - got it - u an absolute Plonker (sorry genius) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston even a half whit like you with 2 brain cells left would understand what I meant - we all agree (obviously not you & dumb chicken) that the squad needs to be enhanced if we are to make a push for the play offs - but we have failed because the only major cash we had to splash on quality signings was from the sale of one of our best playersIt fell through because he did not want to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 0 Posted February 3, 2015 That''s right. I''m so dumb. I misunderstood the clubs annual financial report and thought we''d spent less than we actually had. That £17.5million that turned into £17.2million. That''s how stupid I am.I''m also really stupid because I thought that maybe we didn''t want a larger squad and that was more of a pressing factor than need for funds.Still, what''s it like this time of year with only a bridge over your head and the wind whistling past?

chicken 0 Posted February 3, 2015 You called me ''dumb'' - I was agreeing by giving you some examples of my stupidity going on your "facts".As for the transfer window - I would have been happy with only one or two additions / outgoings. A drastic change now, and you really could wave goodbye to our promotion chances.Why?Because we have seen that this squad of players is capable of beating opponents by several goals. We have seen them be able to play tight and beat / draw teams above them away from home.What has been our problem? Consistency. To me, that is about working hard behind the scenes, getting to grips with the players, getting them to play together better, to improve the mood of the squad.And yes, personally, I think that we have too many players. You want to be able to keep as many players feeling involved as possible. But when you look at the squad size there will be some that will feel they are two or three players down from starting. You don''t want that - if they are young a loan is good. But you don''t want doubt creeping in, or any low moods which could effect the squad.So yes. A bit of a lift in one or two new faces, but nothing more. And I know people keep banging on about Left Midfield - but the real issue is in defense. We are scoring goals, that''s not the problem. The problem is conceding them. I haven''t looked at the stats, but I''m guessing (so I am happy to be proven wrong) that the majority of the goals conceded haven''t been down to the lack of a left midfielder. Especially since Johnson has started playing there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newton 0 Posted February 3, 2015 Chicken we at last agree on somethingWe do have too many players without going into individual names - we should never have signed 10 in the summer spending all that moneyMcNally needs to work hard at sending another 3 or 4 out on loan to at least reduce the wages bill With surplus players in mind we have 3 x forwards we dont want - Bechio Wolf & now Lafferty (shortly to be joined by Hooper I suspect in the summer)Lafferty gone good news - he would not play anyway - From what I have seen of AN is that he is a 1 striker man and I suspect in the summer he will have a mini clear. I can also see Hooper being offloaded as I cant see him starting many games.From AN''s comments after the Birmingham game he prefers to control the midfield rather than gun ho attack (2 up front)What we do need is a left midfield player , does not need to have lots of pace but just be able to deliver quality crosses into the boxWith only one forward & the extra player in midfield I think the defense will come good as they will not be so exposed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brighton Yellow 0 Posted February 3, 2015 Newton, you are wrong - we got cash! Having a £4 million bid accepted for a Premier League midfielder suggests we are ready and willing to spend. Problem is particularly in January we rely, as do all other clubs on other deals happenining. I.E. NUMBNUTS - IT AIN''T ALL ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF CASH WHAT YOU GOT!Prey Newton lad, can you give me three examples of how you ''support'' the club? You come across as someone with a rather toxic personality disorder. Always looking to blame and making up ''facts'' and criticising others as they disagree with your informed ''opinions''.

Newton 0 Posted February 3, 2015 Brighton if we had cash the deal for Dorrons would have gone thro -WBA have signed his replacement already - Fletcher from Man UNUMBNUTS - Dorrons wasent a cash purchase but a player swap with a further £1/2M coming our wayWhen Olsson said no - it fell thro cause we didnt have the cash WBA dont want Dorrons as they have already signed a replacementBrighton please keep up with whats going on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clarkey1972 0 Posted February 3, 2015 Dont know how true this is, but my ex boss is a WBA season ticket holder. The word over there is that the two deals were to some extent independent of each other but the net effect was city would be £1m up. City made a move for Dorrans and the fee was agreed before a deal for Olsson was even mooted.WBA would not sanction the deal as they were trying to get city to lever / pressure Olsson to accept WBA terms and sign. This (if true) to me is Pullis being childish, and fair play to Olsson for sticking to his guns.They are saying Dorrans had agreed terms and passed a medical and was waiting on the nod from Pullis.As I said on a previous thread Olsson obviously wasnt desperate to get out or he would have taken the deal on the table.

Newton 0 Posted February 3, 2015 Can all the posters on this thread making slick negative comments about my original post (u rearly big boys) explain why - if we had the cash we did not buy Dorrons - clearly AN wanted himWBA had already signed a replacement - Fletcher from Man U & clearly did not want him ?

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted February 3, 2015 so why didn''t we just say look Olsson doesn''t want to join we are still interested in dorrans we will just buy him forget about the swap deal here is the 3mill cash ? the medical was done dorrans was in Norwich ( so we are told ) if we wanted him that bad why didn''t we just pay 3mil if he was the missing link to get us to the play offs ?

Branston Pickle 3,635 Posted February 3, 2015 Why don''t you read what others have said? We bid for Dorrans before the Olsson thing came up but it then got linked at WBA''s end; whether he left was up to them, not us. Meanwhile we also bought Andreu for £1m+ and were bidding £2m for Noone: how is that a club with no cash? Just because we didn''t waste what we''ve got it is not a bad thing - there wasn''t any real need to pay over the odds when the loan market comes in very soon and we can pick up players then if we need to. That makes perfect business sense, though it is obviously too simple for some to understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
