I didn't know that, what a weirdo. Anyway, it's clear this thing is massively boring everyone - believe it or not that includes me as I posted some time ago. I really don't care enough about the Brady thing, I just want it to go away one way or another. This post below is my only concrete statement on how I think our club have behaved, and I've seen not a single thing that contradicts this other than Bruce's rhetoric. I'm going to leave this topic at that until we hear something definitive. Sorry to piss everyone off.
Simply a bit of trying to unsettle the player which by all accounts has worked , but being realistic at best it's a sideward step which in fairness was the same with snodgrass , unless things change at your end there's a good chance we could be swapping divisions again next season.
Some of you lot are bonkers , wouldn't your manager be a little miffed off if us or any club made a piss poor offer for one of your players ? You were never going to get any of our top players for two million it would cost us a lot more to find a replacement !
Hmmm, whilst us coming down is a risk, Hull going back up? We were told by other fans it was mission impossible, and we weren't down to a squad of 14 players during pre-season. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull...n-says-Steve/story-27449744-detail/story.html With vultures like ourselves still swooping as well, unfortunately. It'll be one hell of a season from here, but good luck with it!
Skimmed over most of the Rob vs Munky/Lambretta pages... has this been mentioned? I read this as a potential backup in case Brady doesn't work out or to get things moving along faster. please log in to view this image Charlie Wyett ✔ @CharlieWyett Norwich considering £3.5m move for Fiorentina's Spanish left-back Marcos Alonso following stand-off over Robbie Brady #ncfc @TheSunFootball 6:58 AM - 21 Jul 2015 LB contracted till end of next season... Value on transfermarkt [irony not lost on me here] 2.8m Euro. Age: 24. Stints at Bolton and Sunderland. Real Madrid youth.
Mirror reporting we're in for Rickie Lambert along with WBA. Liverpool want circa £3M, is that good value for someone who's 34 next birthday and probably has just one decent season left in him?
...And now apparently it's gone from Ricky news to Rickie news! Apparently WBA and Norwich are in talks with Liverpool about Rickie Lambert. Liverpool's valuation 4.5m. http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/footbal...rom-norwich-to-battle-for-lambert_234496.html EDIT: KIO too quick for me... <slinks out back door>
£3 Million is a lot for Someone his age. If he gets us the goals, to keep us up, then it is definitely worth the money. Especially compared to Rickys 8.5 odd Million for 1 goal. Unfortunately didn't really get a run out last season, so hard to tell if he's still got it.
I'd take Marcos Alonso - thought he did a decent job at Sunderland and he can also play CB. Would be better value at that price IMO. Plus he has a good foreign sounding name
BBC Radio Norfolk reporting that Brady "wants to come to Norwich" Edit:- That's what Alex Neil has told them
I'd be happy with Lambert at that price. Hes not a player reliant on speed and would certianly give us a different option. Looking at the attacking talent we have in midfield having someone who can hold the ball up would and who is so strong in the air would be a huge benefit. Id be cautious about wages though!
Very good way to say to Hull that we're ready to move on if they don't accept our final bid. Also, if Brady wants to come, that puts pressure on Hull. I like the look of Marcos, a LB who can also play CB or LM. At 24 he has experience of English football and the flexibility that AN is looking for. I'd be happy with that.
I don't know why people are being so impatient and stroppy about the Brady deal, it's only been talked about for a fortnight or so and there have been far longer running transfer sagas than this. I honestly don't know what Hull have done wrong here, they are clearly holding out for as much money as they can which is absolutely their prerogative, and I'm afraid we're going to have get used to rival managers playing the media regarding deals, it's just part of the game nowadays and goes on all the time, it really is no big deal at all. I'm sure all will work out fine in the end with us paying a fee that suits both parties, and as soon as the season gets underway this will allbe forgotten about
