    Thing is I suspect we want to sort out our players coming in before we worry too much about those going out. If we don't sign another striker we may need to keep Lafferty. Also Lafferty is very different in one respect from all the other players we might want to sell in that he can not play for us all season, but if he has a good euros his value could potentially still increase. If all else fails we can still revisit a loan deal for him from Leeds towards the end of the window.

    Steve Evans has already hinted that he's accepted it's hit a wall and is looking elsewhere.
    Why would he be held to ransom just because Norwich dither / fail to enter into negotiations?

    But they haven't signed anyone, so it's still all to play for and if it doesn't happen so what, there's always the summer. Our problem seems to be finding players that we want who want to come to Norwich. I'm not sure we'd want to sell Lafferty unless we signed another striker. If we do get another striker then we are probably looking to sell Lafferty or Grabben and of the 2 I'd much rather sell Grabben.

    I think your last sentence sums it all up for me - especially when you say we don't want them here!! I mean, Grabban wasn't even on the bench yesterday!!!!

    Do people honestly get paid to write drivel like this? <yikes>
    AN said at the press conference this week that there was no interest in Lamine Kone, whose move to Sunderland broke down this week.
    Now a guy, Gbamin, from Lens tenuously linked via french media and all of a sudden
    "it is now evident that the club are clearly keen on a defender from France, with Gbamin now linked".

    Give me strength! I wonder if they've bothered telling Alex Neil that? <doh>

    He's crap and mainly a RWB/CDM. Hopefully nonsense.

    But French footballers are good.
    I give you Julien Brellier, Jean Yves de Blasiis, Marc Libbra and Cedric Anselin!
    Doubtless there are others I can't recall. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Tony Andreu? He doesn't even make the bench, well not for PL games anyway.

    Our problem isnt finding players who want to come to Norwich! Players will come if they are offered sufficient wages. Our problem is that our board pussyfoot around offering crap bids followed by crap wages. Brady for example, took ages to get sorted. Alderweireld might even have come if we had offered HIM what he is worth.

    The latter might have been a little out of our range but its the poor offers we make that put players off coming.

    Surely we could have afforded that and I feel it was a risk worth taking - especially if we'd offloaded Grabban to Bournemouth as well.

    It's pathetic if we couldnt afford that! Especially as (like i said earlier) this is our 4th year in the PL out of the last 5! WTF have we spent the money on if we havent got £10m?!?!
