Like we're pissing ourselves over your summer transfer activity?

At least you'd heard of RVW before he came to Norwich. I've got no idea who any of your signings are.

tbh, no I hadn't heard of him apart from hearing a few waxing lyrical over him on here over what he had done in portugal, which to be fair is only slightly better than scotland in terms of league.

Listen, he could come good, I just can't see how after scoring 2 piss easy goals against a non league side how some people think it is all now changed.
 
As far as I can tell, it's a no lose situation for us because he's been such a flop:
(1) if RvW leaves, he'll still be a flop
(2) if RvW stays and achieves nothing he'll still be a flop
(3) if RvW stays and has a stellar season, he'll be a one-flop-season-wonder

I like those odds

or, for us it could be

(1) if RvW leaves, he'll still be a flop
(2) if RvW stays and achieves nothing he'll still be a flop
(3) if RvW stays and has a stellar season, it will be what do you expect for 8.5 million in the championship.

Mick works wonders with 'unfancied' players that have got a point to prove and we're doing just fine with our transfer business this Summer. We've also got a super kid who will burst onto the championship scene this season! Darren McQueen you heard it here first! <ok>

<laugh> darren mcqueen. you mean the kid spurs rejected cos he had absolutely no idea how to play his role?
 
Better than RvW any day of the week and has far greater potential <ok>

Oh and McQueen is pretty damn good as well.

<laugh> i'd be amazed if mcqueen is good enough to make more than two or three starts for ipswich next season, and i'm being generous. mccarthy has clearly taken a gamble on someone deemed not good enough by spurs but who kluggy has recommended as good enough to use for the u21s. he's a squad filler. he is not the next big thing. he is quick and... err... i'm guessing he scored in your friendly the other day, otherwise you'd know nothing of him!

That's as maybe but I bloody loved him in Bullett! <ok>

(3) doesn't make sense - because he's come down from what you'd expect for £8.5m based on his PL season (his value must have plummeted...), so by definition if he does what you expect for £8.5m in the Champ that will be a massive improvement and a no lose situation for us (or no win from your point of view)
