Bennett would've been Norwich's biggest signing in 5 years

Makes me love Tony Bloom even more that we can turn down significant bids like that

 

[Brighton till i die]

good news -

a "significant" 7 figure sum sounds more than £1m to me.....

 

[Curious Orange]

Hmm, 7 figure sums eh? how far north of £1 million were they I wonder...

 

[Barrel of Fun]

According to Soccerbase, they have not exceeded £750,000 (David Marshall from Celtic) since they signed Earnshaw for £3.5m (ignoring undisclosed fees).

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Next season it'll be us making 1M bids. Just you wait and see.

 

[Turkey]

They signed Andrew Surman for 1.2m in the summer so suggests it was more than that. I wonder if they're including their perecieved value of a player they may have offered in exchange though.

Tony Bloom

Loan window opens next week , do not rule out a loan with a view to a permanent summer transfer , the lad is aching to join a top club and who can blame him.

No-one. Kind of rules you out though.

Won't be coming to you then will he?

As Sim said. Not YOU then He will also have his PICK of better teams in the summer. Someone bigger and with more pedigree like Ipswich.

Lambert: "Can we take your best player of you for £1m?"

Poyet: "f*** off"

Lambert "Can we borrow him off you for four months for free?"

Poyet "Is complicated but yes okay"

Yeah, that's DEFINITELY going to happen

 

[severnside gull]

As Bennett was interviewed last night and stated clearly that he now has no intention of leaving I think we can safely put the whole saga to bed until the summer at least and the Norwich trolls can crawl back into their holes.

I really like Norwich as a club but I so hope that they don't go up this year because, tiny minority or not, their fans are seriously pissing me off now.



Logically their final offer has, by their own statement, to have been in excess of £1.2m - my guess is that it was just enough for us to have cleared 7 figures after paying Wolves their 25% cut. That would have been the clever offer anyway

a top club? what's been in your trophy room lately, apart from an empty cabinet a yellow n green carpet and a tin of silver polish passed its use by date?

Have you not read the statement he made this morning you moron? To remind you....

Now why don't you go back to your pink'un & lament what could've been. Idiot.

Funny that, I could have sworn you weren't in the Premiership. Hummm strange.

 

[Ncfc1]

Just quickly looked at that statement now did i miss the bit where he says he has withdrawn his transfer request .If he wants to move to Norwich he needs to hurry it along because we wont be interested once we are promoted , he needs to think carefully about next season League 1 or Premiership .

Seriously, are you a bit simple ?

 

[BensGrandad]

he needs to think carefully about next season League 1 or Premiership .

Unless he leaves us and doesnt join Norwich there is no possibility of either of those as we will be playing each other in The Championship next season.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

He can do what he likes next season old chap, but for now we'd rather like him to carry on setting up goals to get us promoted, if that's all OK with you.

And if he does that, then I suspect he'll have bigger fish to fry than the Canaries. Cheep cheep.
