Olsson to Swansea rumours emerging - fee £5m.
I could well see that happening. It wouldn't surprise me if he was talked into a new contract on the condition that if an appropriate offer came in we'd let him go. He gets a (temporary?) move back to the Prem, and we get a healthy fee rather than him running his contract down and leaving for nothing.
 
It's on the Pink'Un so it carries some weight!

The Pinkun simply copies the rumours from other sources, as they freely admit, so this doesn't carry that much weight. It could be true or it could be a rumour revived based on previous interest.

Meanwhile we're being linked with Sam Winnall at Barnsley who is in the last 6 months of his contract and thus available at a reasonable price. SW are also interested. He's scored 22 goals in 22 games this season.

Because there's too much pressure on results.

You cannot have your cake and eat it. I would love to see youth teams put out in games, but they would probably get a hiding and then the fans would moan like hell. Then in the next breath the fans wonder why hardly any youth players make it through into the first team.

I had an interesting experience just before Xmas.

We were invited (my youth team I coach) to play the NCFC under 9's and 10's academy side at Colney by their academy operations manager. We obviously went and it was a great experience even though we lost very heavily in the first game and then lost again in the second by not as bigger margin as the first.

They have some VERY, VERY good players in that team. They rotated 20-30 players all the way through.

I was chatting with one of the coaches there and he said that statistically none of those lads would go on to make it as a pro, let alone playing in the NCFC first team.

I was amazed, you literally have churn through hundreds/thousands of kids to find any that will turn pro.

Many moons ago I played in the same school team as Keith Webb (remember him Ex City Coach), we had a great side and Keith was head and shoulders above anyone else. When he never made it as a pro with City I realised then just how bloody good you have to be to make it <ok>
 
5 Million for Olsson is not enough!! He's an international LB!!

Why did we always get the bare minimum!? How come every other club busts the bank with our rivals!

Because we have idiots running our football club that's why

How are we going to get a LB replacement for under 5M who is good enough to then adapt to Premiership potential. Otherwise what is the point in selling, especially for sod all!

Brady will go, Klose is being frozen out. We don't spend any money, especially on quality. So where are we going to go from here!?

.......What is happening to my football club. We are such a f*cking mess...

No players linked in either?

We always sell then try and panic buy replacements! I'd love just once, for us to have brought a player in, meaning we could let another go!!

If Jacob goes to Spurs I'd be so gutted and let down. Murphy is never going to play regular at Spurs this season!

I bet it is for only about 5 or 6 million. Which again, would be very cheap.

So we sell Olsson, Ja. Murphy, Canos and Brady. This should bring in at least £25m ? Let's see, Olsson replaced by some past it LB on the cheap and the others not replaced? I can see we might get into a fire sale and be left with a side not capable of even making the play-offs. Come on lads and lasses anybody seen a miracle around CR?
 
Grabban to CR now there is the biggest load of tosh I have ever seen or heard so far! Anybody else thinking this could be a spectacular transfer window for little old NCFC?
