Norwich lining up Bridcutt if we don't go up (just a rumour)

[Leighgull]

Being a feeder club for proxy Norwich is pretty low rent.

Norwich are 4 points off 9th, 6 points off the bottom three. They're above bigger clubs like Newcastle, Sunderland and Villa. And with regard to the Villa - managed by ex-boss Paul Lambert, they've also conceded 10 goals less.

Hughton's had a winning record at Spurs, Birmingham and Newcastle. And, until recently, a decent record at Norwich. But he's been there less than a year so hasn't really built his own squad. I fel a bit sorry for him in that he's not 'a name' so gets short shrift. Sacked from Newcastle when they were 12th, now they're 17th. Hmmm...

You conveniently ignore the fact with Newcastle that they had a superb season last season though. I take your point with Villa but I'd much rather be watching their football than the dire tripe being served up at Norwich.

Fair play though, we'll see what happens next season I guess

The same Norwich fan who told me about the Bridcutt rumour said it has been hard watching a team that had played such great football for three seasons turned into a bunch of hoofers this season.

England vs Scotland at Wembley 14 Aug 13. If Bridcutt gets picked and has a good game he'll be a damn sight more than £5mill.

Didn't know this was happening. If he gets picked then I'm officially supporting Scotland for the day.

If we don't go up I can see a fair few clubs having a look through our squad, realistically with Bridcutt being the most sought after (because he's just that damn good).

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

They're in a bit of an Arthur Waite at the moment.

I'm not ignoring the fact Newcastle had a good season, the point is that having been relegated in recent times (and then spectacularly promoted - under Hughton) Mike Ashley will be having kittens at the moment should they go down. Newcastle should not be in this position, but it's the curse of the Europa League.

Norwich's football isn't the best, but then Hughton didn't bring half the players to the club. He needs more time to build his own side and then be judged on that.

£7mil

£8m ..do I c 9 the gentlemen at the back

 

[Paris]

Let's hope Delia's lot go down. Sick and tired of those twerps trying to cherry-pick our best players.

 

[Mowgli37]

Who'd want to go from Brighton to Norwich whatever the division?

 

[St Patricks Day]

All the other play-off teams are in the same boat though.

No they're not. A premiership teams were after a few championship players last season, Cardiff, Blackpool etc and they refused the clubs permission to talk to any of their players and the only one of note that was sold was Rhodes to Blackburn for £7 million which is fine.

Problem with Gus is that he said that if any teams come in for any of our players he'll let the player speak with the club whereas the other clubs say no. Gus allows that option as if any prem team come calling for him then the club will let him speak like they did with Reading.

If we don't go up then expect 4 or 5 of our players to be poached.

This team that played great football: is it the same one that played Grant Holt up front?

Well Ricky Lambert plays for Southampton who also play good football, so not sure that's relevant

I don't watch Norwich, I'm just passing on the opinion of someone who watches them week in week out.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

About the 5th thread on this 'rumour' last month, plus already been in the papers more than once.

Good sauce

 

[Albion Dan]

If we dont go up Liam will be on his way. The good news is lots of clubs will want him. 8 mill I reckon.

 

[8ace]

Unless a rumour has been posted about from the Transfer Rumours site by BG it's not worth the pixels it's displayed with.

Indeed. LB will be playing in the PL next year regardless of whether we are or not. We wouldn't get 8 mil for him though. Reckon we'd accept about 5.

If we don't go up, i fear he won't be the only one on their way.....

Any other team would command £8 million or £10 million but as it's us he'll go for £2 million.

You know it. We'll be fighting relegation next season. Seems the club can't say no and ****kk off unlike most teams.
