    You have to earn a Footballers wage to use the bar. I called in with Mrs 1950 a couple of months ago to meet an ex work colleague of mine and a round of drinks comprising 2 glasses of wine and 2 pints of Fat Cat Bitter came to just over £25.

    i'd vote for a recording of that guy playing every time we score rather than the 1990's trance rave we currently have!

    Yes, some of the wine is ludicrously expensive I'll give you that. The beer prices are reasonable given the setting though, I think.

    Entirely this!

    As a frequent visitor for business purposes, I find it a lovely setting with reasonable prices.

    Good beer at acceptable cost. If 1950 wishes to woo Mrs 1950 with Richebourg Grand Cru after all these years, then accept it won't come cheap! (That's NOT a euphemism) <ok>

    yeh according to him Hooper turned us down, he obviously doesn't understand the concept of a bid being rejected and us not being held to ransom, that's not the player turning us down. The Daily Mail has to be the worst paper in the country for talking bollocks! they just make stuff up!

    I stayed there last year (got a special deal of £60 a night for a double room!!) and can assure you all rooms have been modernised. There is also quite a decent golf course next to the hotel (though it's like many in this area just now and is severely parched apart from the greens!!) and I have seen Whittaker, Ruddy and Hoolahan there. I'm told several other team members play there as well.

    He starts off by saying how impressed he is with Hughton's transfer business this window - then ends up making himself look the biggest cock in the world, as you say Supers.

    So, if the latter statement is correct, the only reason for approaching Quagliarella is because Delia fancies giving her catering a bit of an Italian twist. <doh>

    Sorry, I don't normally use three slapheads in one post - but it is Adrian Durham we're dealing with here.

    Does anyone think going back in for Toby might be worth it now we have made more signings? I cant remember who we had officially signed when we had our bid accepted for him but the comments made by his representatives were all quite complimentary. Maybe now he has seen we mean business a bit more he might have more interest in signing?

    If we managed to sign him it would be a huge deal as I really think he can be one of the top CB's in world football. His range of passing is incredible and he is composed on the ball.

    Only time will tell if it&#8217;s an inspired signing, or a signing inspired by panic after drawing blanks in the States.

    I could be wrong, but 7 months must be the longest 'panic buy' ever!

    Quagliarella is more likely:

    Calciomercato Juventus: Quagliarella openness to Norwich

    The British will attempt a new assault by Juventus striker who will evaluate the terms of the new offer

    TURIN-The Norwich insists Qadri. Today in Milan will stage another attempt of the English emissaries to bring the striker in the Premier League. Juventus is ready to evaluate the bid and the same player made it clear that for his part there is a timid opening. It is no secret that Quagliarella has slipped down into hierarchies of Earl. Norwich are serious about: pressure is a constant for weeks."

    Although on twitter McNally has said there are going to be two more signings.

    He also, as Cromer touches on, has astronomically misunderstood the point of pre-season tours and the reading of the results. I can understand him not really getting what happened in the Hooper saga (to be honest, I don't think any of us really do...) but to be so thick as to think that pre-season results mean anything...

    Yep, I think at the time we had only confirmed RvW and Redmond. Certainly pre-Fer and obviously Hooper. I have a feeling, given the drip feed of news, that the club have been keeping tabs all along anyway. Alderweireld never ruled us out and I think it was his dad that said we had gone about it the right way with going through the proper channels and not putting on undue pressure.

    <laugh> exactly. I think measured patience and not panic buying is our strategy in this window, again shown by Alderweireld policy.

    Love that our scouts are translated as "emissaries"!
