Thank you chaps, anyway Mr Helipilot, however you took it, what I actually meant was that I thought it was a good thing that someone who hadn't posted before evidently felt so strongly about Bennett potentially leaving that you signed up & made your first post. Granted I didn't clock that you actually registered a year ago, only your post count, but it certainly wasn't meant to be a dig.
No news but an interesting outside view on this saga.
FansNetwork/NeverMindTheDanger.co.uk - A Million? Pounds? Stirling? - Norwich City news
According to the stories being put about by Brighton supporters, Norwich City has had a one million pound bid for Elliot Bennet turned down.
A million pounds?
Norwich City is ambitious and eyes are turning towards the heavens as week after week the club stays in competition for an automatic promotion spot. As such manager Paul Lambert is getting all the backing he needs to reinforce his squad.
But, a million quid?
There will be players that Lambo feels will suit the role he has in mind for them, As he has proved so very well with almost all of his acquisitions so far.
But a million smackers?
Norwich City Football Club is fighting, successfully, to stave of falling into administration, but the debts are still significant.
Paul Lambert is very aware of this and shops around accordingly. He does know that if he spots a diamond in the dirt the club will come up with the finances to unearth that jewel.
As highly as Brighton chairman, manager and supporters rate Elliot Bennett, he is not that dirty diamond.
A million. Ha.
Who comes up with such figures? Whatever Norwich City might look capable of achieving come May, the bare facts are that it is a club that, even the manager admits, is punching above its weight.
This dream castle everybody lives in is only a council house, really. Nicely decorated, but still vulnerable to upset.
So buying a midfielder from a Division One club, regardless of their current position is not something that Norwich or Lambert would consider risking a million on. Not when there are skills aplenty already on hand.
A Million? Dream on,
Well if I read it wrong I'm sorry... sounded like I was being told I wasn't allowed an opinion because I was new to me! (who was I to tell mighty Delia what to do with her money!). Regards to all.... and hello
Are Norwich in for Elphick as well now?
Dont worry mate....youll get used to it. There is a total hotchpot of life on here. 3 rounds with David Hay would be a breeze compared to some of the responses you will get. You will wonder in amazement .....it is staggering at times ! Good luck
Quite. A few months ago I mentioned I was considering having a meal before a game and got immediately called a fat and boring c*nt.
Sounds like Muzza off? Eugh this window could be a disaster. We will not get promoted without either Bennett or Muzza.
Murray is most at risk,if he shows no intrest in a new contract (and i dont know that ) then i am sure Poyet/Bloom will not let go for nothing in the summer.
