    can be seen in this video released by Norwich today

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xew50XrbOLU&feature=player_embedded

    It shows that our players have huge personalitys, sense of humours and character. We are a unit and together with a great manager. All things that Leeds are devoid of.

    What do you reckon you need to do to come close to being the club Norwich City are and getting back to the promised land??? New players and new manager I reckon. Not sure that getting Manu reject Alan Smith in is the greatest way of achieving it though.

    Well, what an awesome commercial it is, lets you know the players love Norwich and are on a level with us fans. Its funny, clever and shows what an awesome team spirit we have.

    Plus, the kit is well nice.

    You spent £4m more than us over two seasons with a manager of similar ability. Money buys success. <ok>

    So Norwich got promoted in 2011 because they are going to have a nice kit in 2012? And because their players have a sense of humour?

    I may not support Norwich or Leeds, but even I can see just how ****ing ******ed that is.

    Fair play to Norwich, they have a great (i imagine) dressing room, and have done very well last two years, but these guys think Bradley Johnson is a great signing, so there expectations arent very high. I see a very difficult time ahead for them, relagation next year? over spending? debt? relegation again>>>> we know as well as they do, success is not overnight.

    4 words make your argument invalid.

    Norwich will get relegated.

    Am I right in saying only one other player in the Leeds squad made more appearances than Johnson, last season?

    You are correct and your point is?

    Grayson liked Johnson! we didn't hes the only person we had to get stuck in n can head it!

    Can't pass, Can't shoot has no footballing brain will get sent off atleast twice a year! o and is deffo not premiership class.

    I like Norwich but your not showing much intent for next season signing players who where in league one only 2 year ago!!

    Johnson got plenty of games as he was the only big man in midfield & quite often an out ball for defenders or the keeper. Bates said he is letting both johnson & killa go as we need more quality. Not to mention he was getting paid peanuts.

    I would advise anyone buying a ticket at carrow road to avoid row z for your own saftey if Bradders is going to get a game.

    Johnson and Kilkenny are both very limited. They were outplayed as a league one midfield, never mind championship.

    We would much rather buy young quality lower league players that will want to prove themselves in the Premier League than old has been's that want one last contract before they retire who will have no desire to play for Norwich City. This transfer policy has seen us be the only team since 1999 to have been promoted in successive seasons to the Premier League.

    You boys concentrate on buying, sorry loaning players that have the same desire as McCartney and co, we'll concentrate on bringing in the best realistic players we can.

    Johnson won't be a regular, he'll be used as back as he plays in a couple of positions. Lambert loves that type of player and the fact he will cost us nowt but a signing on fee and wages, means there is a very minimal risk.

    That is rubbish. He wouldn't have played 45 games if he was very limited and all that in a team that finished 7th!

    Carra, he did well for us last season, is an imposing presence in the middle, very good in the air, has a shot on him and gets some goals.

    Allied to this, however, is his woeful passing ability at times, his uncanny knack of giving the ball to the oppo quite often,the shots that fly out of the ground, and the quicker midfielders that bypass him at Champ level, then I think he will struggle in the Prem to be honest.

    Some excellent qualities to his game, some poor.

    I think in time he will develop into a very good midfielder but he won`t be a saviour for you next season, which is when you desperately need to cement your Prem place.

    Good luck to him and you however, as I have nothing against either.
