Norwich to come back for Bennett

[Silent Bob]

I wouldn't blame him in the slightest for going, he'd go with my best wishes and clearly IF Norwich are after him they will get him. But that is a huge if in my opinion for the reasons you quoted.

But most Premier League do not sign 'proven' players most of the time, whether they come from abroad, from lower leagues, from their own youth systems etc. There's an element of risk in that, as with anything, but that's why they scout their players thoroughly. Lambert was watching Bennett at Dagenham when they were already looking good for promotion.

Admittedly that might have put him off.

Benno has 3 years left on his contract and is now at a Championship club , Norwich would have to put in a £3M bid even for Tony to consider discussing it any further.

 

[drew]

I heard a vicious rumour that 99.9% of the content of NSC is complete hot air

That's ridiculous, the actual percentage is higher than that.

 

[sir albion]

Norwich may do the yoyo from the prem to the championship in which means they want quality youngsters for this.Not the end of the world though eitherway as its a win win for us.

 

[lighthouse]

it is a well known fact that 76.39% of statistics are made up on the spot

evening all, would expect lambert to try again for bennett as he wants young and hungry players, and not has beens who just want the money. and according to our chairman we'll be spending the entire 40 million we get next season on transfers and wages. with regard to cody mcdonald, i don't think he's champ standard but then again he's done brilliant at gills. a lot of fans even wanted him recalled last season (we couldn't) and we ended up top scorers in the league. also good of you to equal our points total when we won league 1.

Nice to see norwich are being sensible in the current climate
You have debts of 20 million and yet you look to blow all incoming money on players and wages,christ do clubs never learn

I understand your sentiment Sir Albion but you could argue that Norwich need to speculate to accumulate, think about the money they would receive from TV rights if they manage to stay in the Premier League over the next 5 years.

 

[mike79]

it may sound risky but it isn't that much. wages next season may account for 20 million+ and we then get 12 million parachute payments for 4 years if we go down. the debt is structured and a large amount is to delia. we had a 7 year plan and needed a season of prem football in that time so we're massively ahead of it now. and it's also been said that the long term future of the club will not be risked. this 40 million is less than 50% of the income we will get from being in the prem. the difference in money between it and the champ is ridiculous. obviously any contracts which remain the same if we go down would be scandalous.

Yes i understand but your chairman seems to like risking things in a big way,if it blows up which is more likely then you will be back in league 1 before you know it.How many medium clubs do you know of in the prem who have made a fortune?

Big mistake

 

[mike79]

delia is certainly not a risk taker tbh, and our new chief exec who found lambert is nicknamed mcnasty for a reason. he is very careful with the cash and we do not spend what we can't afford.

I would take everything the original poster writes on here with a pinch of salt.

All his comments that i can recall seem to be very negative and it seems that he posts to try to get a reaction rather than wanting to contribute anything worthwhile, and this seems yet another one where he is trying to get a reaction over a nothing story.

Time to move on and stop feeding his ego.

 

[APACHE]

With regard to the Norwich comments ,good luck to them, but there's always 1 thing that can undo them as well as us A CHANGE IN MANAGER. When you're having success all the really big clubs are looking and if they come offering the manager goes. A wrong appointment and everything can go tits-up very quickly.

 

[B.W.]

IF Norwich come back in for Benno, then we have to hold-out for AT LEAST £2M... personally, I think the £1M offered for our key player is an absolute joke... IF they come up with the money, then good luck to Benno... unfortunately, I think he may find himself in the reserves... he would be better served plying his trade in the Championship for his development TBH...

 

[Dawn Korus]

I know different positions, but say if we were to get £1.5m for Bennett and we spent all of that on Lua Lua, would NSC be happy?

No, Bennett is a better overall player.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

one of the issues with getting in teh Premiership is how much you are preparaed to spend to stay there. Leeds fell into that trap big time when they started buying players left right and center....Harry Kewell and Robbie Fowler comes to mind. They bought players they thought would get them to the top and when it all went wrong, they were hampered by these rediculous contracts they handed out ( were not they paying harry Kewell months after he had left?)

One of the pitfalls of trying to play with the big boys.

'FOUND' Lambert? WTF? You chose someone else remember, and Lambert turned up, at your gaff and destroyed you 6-1 with a team of journeymen. Then you asked him to take your dollar instead.

Hardly 'found'.
