Sometimes a non signing can be a blessing. I see Wilson went to Derby, a highly overrated young lad in my opinion. Norwich are stuck with an 8 million quid misfit, unproven. .

They'll only be a blessing if the Albion actually make a better signing.

I don't disagree, but we really aren't that desperate for a new signing in my opinion, assuming we keep all the players we have come August 31.

This. Pritchard got injured once he arrived at Norwich. It was probably due to sitting in a car too long, waiting for his agent to decide which motorway to follow.

Easy mistake to make, the M23 is so close to the M11 (I think that's the way to no mans land?)

3 strikers is nowhere near enough.
Ideally benchwarming striker nos 5 can be produced by the reserves, but that still leaves the squad short of a first team striker.

I'd rather either of those nimrods to nothing. (which I'm sure won't be the case, but ...)

Paid more than us and no doubt paying a lot more wages than we offered otherwise he wouldn't have SINGED, so appropriately it looks like Norwich have SINGED a TURKEY

Very much this. If we end up with just 3 strikers we can kiss goodbye autos

Middlesbrough all over Sunderland, 2-0 up and CRUISING. Seems that they have done some decent business in the market

Once you put form, injury and suspensions into the mix, we'd be lucky to stay in the Championship with 3 strikers.

But isn't this where we should be utilising the U23s and bringing them through? If not then it is a pointless exercise bringing these lads in.

The trouble is that some "bright spark" will tell us how we can rely on Elvis and Hambo to make up the numbers and how everything is rosy.

If someone was good enough they'd already be there.
As they're not we can only assume nobody is ready to step up, forcing the situation helps no one.

None of which effects the fact that 3 strikers, 2 identical and 1 sicknote, isn't going to get the job done.

I think we can RELY on EVLIS, Hambo & Harper as our 4th or FIFTH strikers , no problem there

But you don't know if they're good or not good enough until you give them the stern test. And if it is deemed they aren't, why are they here? Sooner or later you have to take the gamble with the kids, otherwise, as I said above, it is a pointless exercise.

You appear to be saying putting a young player who is believed to be not YET good enough into the first team will make him good enough.

We all know it doesn't work that way.

I thought it was The Old Farm as opposed to Old Firm.
Always makes me laugh that one.

Could've been us if our board showed some ambition in the January window.

You cant argue with that. We can only dream of what would have happened if GM had joined us then.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
