    I think Jones' comments today suggest that he's off. Interesting that the club didn't use him in the fixtures marketing either.
    Where are the comments, was there an interview ? Thanks

    Suppose they've got to find some way to scramble the money together for Edwards and Mitchell, bet those two were real pocket burners

    This proves you're finally didn't. Time to give up posting.

    Just did a bottle of vodka for breakfast and feel like I'm on a level to translate Ronnie's post, He meant in order to get in some decent players we have to sell our best ones.

    But those best ones are desperate to leave, rubbish and NJ's decision.

    Not a rumour but a really good interview with NJ on the current state of recruitment. Sounds like there's a lot of offers still out there , interesting that attacking options and wanting " the best group of strikers in the league" was mentioned. Also a big emphasis on keeping clean sheets.

    If I thought we were to play a league match against another club who had got rid of the three best players the fans voted for the previous season, I would feel both incredulous and hopeful.
    The only answer is promotion on the back of losing those guys, anything else is failure no matter what excuses or weasel words the regime comes out with.

    Do you think Bournemouth felt that way in 2011? Came up against us and we'd let Jose Semedo our POTY go, Christiain Dailly the previous year's POTY and were about to sell our top scoring striker from the previous season. Of our top 25 appearances makers from the previous season we were going to keep 5. Ended up setting a points record because we ditched the squad that had finished 13th for players that the manager actually wanted. That's the key: replacing any halfway decent players we lose with ones who suit the way the manager wants to play as well as possible. There's a big hole in our midfield with Dobson gone but he isn't the only player in the world who can fill it, that new CM is going to be a very important part of the whole puzzle.

    So if it's 4-5 more and we're going as it stands with May not going. GK,CB,CDM,CAM, Striker is the general consensus? I know in that video I linked earlier NJ called Berry an attacking midfielder that can add goals from midfield but I'm still expecting maybe not a " marquee" signing but definitely a signing for a significant fee to play that No10 role.

    Would guess anything beyond the 5 would hinge on departures and clearing out anyone that's not wanted. Maybe a couple of loans later in the window once PL/Champ sides sort their squads out just to bolster things (I know it's been spoken about wanting a smaller squad and we've got players like REG and Edwards that offer versatility, but I've got a few niggling doubts about injuries and reliance on academy players )

     very positive. I'd be even more so if Alfie is still here come Sept.

    This is how i see it currently, with both GK and ST soon to be filled. Obviously in midfield there are players that can play in multiple roles, i.e Berry could play CAM, Taylor could play CM etc.


    GK: NEW, Mannion

    RWB: Ramsay, Watson

    CB: REG, Z.Mitchell

    CB: A.Mitchell, Jones

    CB: NEW, Gillesphey

    LWB: Small, Edwards

    CDM: Coventry, NEW, Taylor

    CM: Berry, Anderson

    CAM: NEW, Campbell

    ST: NEW, Leaburn, Chuks

    ST: May, Kanu

    The above would be in line with NJ's 5 more (taking us to 9 signings).

    I know a few have mentioned Edwards playing LCB, from NJ comments I think that is unlikely - him and Small will rotate with both getting a lot of gametime - Wingbacks often get tired very quickly in games due to the nature of the role up and down all game so having two very good LWBs is a good idea.

    What is Alfie May if not Paul Benson with a hairline?

    Tough choice for him there. Guess it depends on if he wants to play or just collect £. Obviously won't blame him going to Newcastle but he must have earned enough by now?

    Yeah given his comments about his family having stayed around Norwich, I can't see being effectively third choice at Newcastle being that attractive beyond the finances. 

    Does suggest to me our keeper signing probably isn't him though.

    Without a doubt. Take the money (even if it's from PIF).

    Also if he wants to transition to coaching it’s probably a no-brainer to do that at a top premier league club vs league 1

    If Ruddy is (probably) out I guess the top choice of keeper target is now between Walton or Davies. I'd guess the latter to be a bit "easier" a deal (relatively speaking) so hopefully we get some movement - GK is one area that really needs improvement.

    No better job in Football is there, being a keeper in your late 30s being 3rd choice at a top end Premier League club, easiest money you can imagine
