To be honest, i am reallistic and would rather have CMS than cole or jerome because they are both S**T
We dont assume cole is crap... HE IS! STRIKERS ARE THERE TO SCORE GOALS! Its not about fans being unrealistic its about us being a bit miffed that the likes of swansea have snapped up real goalscoring quality for 2mill n we are enquiring about a non goalscoring "striker" and CMS for 3mill! It does show a distinct lack of ambition. Im not saying spend massive amounts on a player with huge wages but lets show a little ambition!
then who the hell do you think we were going to get? i don't personally think carlton cole is a great player but i do know he's better than what we've currently got and would fit snuggly into our system. this is what i don't understand! we have very low funds and a small wage cap, about the only thing we can offer is premier league football at this stage. players need to be bought who will best keep us up, not 'inspire' you. honestly, its days like today that i want to bang peoples heads together. completely unrealistic demands.
that is a totally idiotic post we have no funds!!! our sole ambition is to stay up!!!!!!!! ****ing hell some of our fans should bugger off and support qpr, seriously
agree, that's it. i'm out of this. you lot can **** about thinking the club are a shambles because they haven't signed some mythical centre forward. unbelievable...
A little put out at the fact that people like Supers and Beef think they know so much more about norwichs situation than everyone else. It doesnt take a genius to see Cole is crap and that to even inquire about hin shows a lack of ambition. We do not sound like qpr fans as we are asking for quality not just anyone. It is easy to play the sensible "we are looking after our finances and not being stupid" card but at the end of the day if we have a rubbish striker like Cole who doesnt score (what kind of striker doesnt score for gods sake) and end up relegated, we will miss out on a lot of money next season. CMS for 3mill when Michu cost 2mill... Not great business unless he proves he can score at this level.
To be fair, we can't use Michu as a yardstick - he wanted to leave to be with Laudrup and the club needed any money they could get I do think we need to look places other than Cole though.
John Guidetti on loan I'd of liked to of seen us follow up more on Mohammed Abdellaoue. Yes, I know that because our owners trusted the club in the hands of dickheads who got us into a massive mess that we're still paying off, I don't have short term memory loss like a lot our fans do. Since you're in the know have we looked abroad for forwards with the exception of Abdellaoue?
Do not think the club os a shambles, just think we are in need of a goalscorer because Holt may not reach the heights of last season , jackson is hit and miss and the others are martin and morison. Get off your high horse Supers. We love the club just as much as you and are entitled to our opinions.
Jesus wept go take a Valium and go to bed mate you're taking EVERYTHING that you don't personally agree with as an insult or attack on the club and with all due respect as much as you're fed up with their posts I'm sad to say the same about yours. No one as far as I can see has had a pop at you, if someone says something you don't like or agree with ignore it mate its just not worth the blood pressure.

Best bit of common sense I have seen on here all day. Does anybody seriously think that Carlton Cole is not a better lone striker than anybody currently on the books?
Carlton Cole is dog ****. Again people can't criticize potential "rumours" on this board without us being unrealistic or "wanting Michael Owen". You can't criticize a Norwich player if you're not a season ticket holder. So much arrogance on this board at times. They are better targets than Carlton Cole within out budget (especially when you think of the wages Carlton Cole will be on). FACT. I.E Craig Mackail Smith, John Guidetti. I would rather we didn't sign a striker than have Carlton Cole.
I don't claim to be more in the know norwiches situation I won't comment on anyone till there in or it's confirmed. I've never seen Carlton cole play, I don't really feel powerfully about him either way, and I've never seen him play with snodgrass or hoolahan lol What I don't do is covet others players or signings. Swansea are Swansea and they can keep what they've got, don't rate it. Coveting michu is as useful as coveting hazard
Come on lads chill out, this isn't like you lot at all. Have faith, houghtons a good manager and will recruit good players. The only downside as mentioned above is that some managers like laudrup will attract the likes of michu whereas houghton may not I still think you'll get something from the Spuds tomorrow
Do not necessarily disagree but if they won't come/clubs won't sell/ can't agree personal terms then imo Cole is a better lone striker than anything we have got and, unlike other posters, I would rather have him than nothing at all. One further point - at the moment we have 26 for the 25 man squad. If we buy anybody then 2 have to go but there seems no more activity in the exit door than in the entrance.
