I guess that a lot of the hype is based on Citeh buying Mahrez for approx £75M, so Villains are hoping to get most of that to plug the funding gap that they're going to experience (you thought NCFC's was BAD!!!). #ludicrous

 

So nothing too daunting in the pre-season games before the squad heads to Germany

So away against Lincoln in July. My daughter lives a short walk from the ground, but unfortunately I an not visiting her until September. Thought I'd come home during the season and hopefully get a game or two in.

 

Unashamed compilation from JM's Dad -

Love the last few seconds.

Edit SOOOO many nearly empty stadia

 

If we had had a decent strike force his assist figures would have been astounding. He reminds me, a little bit, of Gazza. Total class and self belief.

 

Well worth a read - http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter...-of-our-shrews-and-sterlings-front-page-news/

 

Haha. Lampard say he wants to Manage England in the future! He hasn't even failed and been sacked by Derby yet!

Maybe manager a Pre-Season friendly first, before aiming for England!

 

Are you saying it's wrong to have ambition?

 

I'm saying it's wrong to come out and say that when you have just been announced as the clubs manager, as your first ever manager role.

 

Maddison is class, we will miss him a lot, turning defenders this way and that and superb vision. As golden says if we had decent strikers....

 

I don't think it's wrong personally, saying what your dream is or where you want to be in the future is a positive thing imo.

 

Not the time though is it?!

 

There is never a wrong time for being positive

 

Interesting theory - Liverpool keeper concussed during Champions League final - doctors. And with whom did Karius 'collide???' #irestmycase

Am I the only person who is shocked that Sane is not at the World Cup?

 

I didn't think it was a very SANE decision!!! . <getscoatemoji>

 

Please let this be true - https://readnorwich.com/2018/06/04/mcgovern-allowed-to-leave-norwich/

Edit - If you believe everything on 'Norwich News Now', Fulham have joined the race to sign JM and Leicester/Everton are leading the race to sign him.

 

From what I've read, the Germans aren't. His performances for the national team are yet to match his club form, and Germany are stacked for world class attacking midfielders. Mario Gotze scored the winner in the last world cup final, and didn't even make the provisional squad. Reus, Ozil, Kroos, Draxler, Brandt, Werner are all equally as good as Sane.

It shows the gulf between England and real world class teams. Sane would be our star player.

 

Ramos is a thug, I think he knew exactly what he was doing.

 

I know what you're saying, obviously he needs to prove himself first. But to me it's no different to going for a job interview and telling them about your ambitions, you still have to show them you can do it.
