Andy Carroll, who cost more than our whole squad, didn't even make the bench on Saturday. Luis Suarez also cost more than our whole squad so it shouldn't be that much off a surprise when he scores a hattrick, by right he should be doing it every time he faces us. Kenny Dalglish makes me grateful to have Paul Lambert. If Lambert got £100m to spend we would be fighting tooth and nail for Champions League spots at worse, Kenny however is narrowly in the top half and just about fighting off club's like our's who squad's cost less than a number of his players individually. So is it right Liverpool fans are gloating with a 3-0 win at Carrow Road? given the money they spend they should be doing this against most of the teams in the premierleague. joke club. joke manager who spend's £20m to get Sunderland's best player to try and get 6 points off them and can't even do that. Gives Newcastle £35m to improve their team so Pardrew can bring bring in Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Ba and Ciise. Basically Kenny has funded Newcastle's rise above his team Kenny another £100m he might just get 7th
Andy Carroll was apparently injured, but I do laugh that he cost £11mill more than Suarez who is clearly a very very good player.
Reckon we should tell Kenny Holt, Bennett and Ruddy are available for £40m each? worth a try, think of the team we can build with that cash.
And yet he has won one cup already this season and is also in the final of the FA Cup! 18 League titles, 5 European Cups, Second best supported club in the world - hardly a joke club! Yes Dalglish should have done much better with the amount of money he has spent but it just tells you the giant stature of the club when potentially winning 2 major domestic trophies is viewed as a below average season!
Yet still, before our game at the weekend Norwich were only three points behind them. That from a team that apparently face certain relegation next season.
I think you are over egging the pudding! I haven't predicted relegation is a certainty for you next season just a very good possibility!
Believe it or not I actually admire what you have achieved this season and I will be the first to say that I wish the same for my club! Realistically we are marooned in the championship for a few more seasons unless a miracle happens! Yur biggest challenge, and I'm sure even you will agree, is your lot staying in the prem next season. I don't think that is a controversial thing to point out. I know you don't like history but it does tell us that most newly promoted teams are at their most vulnerable during the second season!
Hiding behind the past. Present as in today Liverpool are a joke club, with 100m spent they should be challenging for the title instead their desperately fending off Fulham, us, Swansea and Sunderland amoungst other teams. Put the cost of those 4 squad's together and it won't be much more than Carroll, if it is anyway. So yes in the present they are a joke club.
warky, being realistic, we face exactly the same challenge as about 12 others each year. the sole aim is to preserve premier league status. you aren't telling us anything groundbreaking or anything we wouldn't already know! it will be the same year on, year out for as long as we stay in the division. even clubs like everton go in to each season to make sure they stay up first and foremost - then push on. check out moyes once they get to 40 points each year - he always mentions it! its slightly sad thats its come to this but thats what sky has done to the game. the best any club of norwich's stature can hope for is survival and maybe trying to get a cup or european football. until the bubble bursts and all that...
Like I said Supers I wasn't being controversal We finished 5th qualified for Europe and everything was rosy in the garden! We haven't recovered since!
yes, but that doesn't mean that every other promoted club who survives the first season copies what you did! if anything, it means clubs are less likely to follow your lead. we have absolutely nothing to fear at the moment. we'll bring reinforcements in during the summer and then we'll have a better idea of how we may fare next season but as it stands i'm very comfortable with how the club is run and what they are doing. they are backing the manager with decent funds but they aren't putting all their eggs in one basket - the club is very, very healthy for the first time probably ever and they would rather get relegated than jeopardise its future by splashing the cash in the vein hope they might move upwards quicker. its a stabilisation period. we were all told about it in our 7 year plan - thats why we are all comfortable with whats happening. its good to have a plan!
Yes because a player who didn't make their bench cost's more than our whole squad, what do you expect?
canarynorwich100. i've not come across you before but you do have a hint of 'wum' about you. are you a former poster in a new guise as i suspect?
