very true ,you have to back the manager ….that's why I find it strange that so many say fox is useless and shouldn't be in the squad yet bruce kept picking him, it's like we know best and the manager hasn't got a clue which is probably not true .  

He didn't really have much choice though!

Meh

[Birley Owl 1867]

Is Bidwell not part of the 4 already?

[Birley Owl 1867]

Also, in no way should we be wasting what little money we have on bringing Onomah back to the club.

 

Waste of space.

Still think we might not see as a big a turnaround in the squad as some might like to see. The rumoured signings to an extent are replacing players who have already left. I still think the big shake-up will come next summer?

[Owls77]

I thought Bidwell was sorted a few weeks back, but the Stir never mentioned him yesterday!

Think it will be half and half.

 

Can see Winnall and Rhodes leaving, maybe even Joao too to be replaced by a new striker.

 

We still need 2 more wide players and a central midfielder, unless Odubajo will be playing RM which I doubt he will.

Just don’t get how people can be so dismissive of Onomah. He’s a good age, good pedigree, Bruce could get the best out of him yet. Too many players are written off too soon in my view. Didn’t someone on here once say ‘send Gary hooper back’ after a handful of games?!

You know our budget? Can you let the rest of us in on the secret?.

 

Personally I think he'd be worth a sixth of the Van Aken / Rhodes madness.

Was that the guy who ran his local takeaway in Norwich?

Happy to go with Bruce's opinion over that of your mates. 

Me too. Thats why FF, Rhodes and Joao also need to go. He wants to offload them and thats good enough for me.

It's not as massive pot. Think even Stevie Wonder can see we can't spend much or we'll be in violation of FFP.

 

We can't spend a big chunk of the little we've got on a waster like Onomah.

If we were spending money on any of last years injury prone loan players then Lazar (sp?) would be the one I’d gamble on. You could see the lad had genuine ability, a bit of pace and a good work ethic. He’d make a cracking wingback at this level if he could ever stay fit.

 

I know you should not judge players by the amount of minutes Lazar played for us but he just seemed to instantly ooze class.

And a cracking left foot! Put far better corners/free kicks in than any other player!

Norwich bid 6 mill for Robinson from Preston. I wonder how, if at all, that affects any Rhodes interest?

 

I think the Rhodes deal is dead in the water.

I actually think if we get wingers, and for the first time in years I think we will now Bruce is recruiting, then Rhodes will be like a new signing, we all know he thrives in the box, he’s done it all his career, he was never goi g to be prolific playing in a system we played. 

 

I think bruce wants to keep him, Infact I actually think that might have been part of his reasoning on not taking a risk on keeping hooper. 

 

Yes it may be that with our financial situation changing we have decided to keep Rhodes and are looking to sign wingers like Harris and Aarons and maybe more.  I wouldn’t be against that

Using the same reasoning the monkey does every time he tries to get the orange out of the bottle.

Mmm I'm not so sure the wingers we have/are signing or prolific for their crossing though. My guess is they will be asked to cut In rather than cross!
