Norwich fan I know says they have spent nothing (transfer wise) the last three times they've gone up and then put a bit of cash in to get back up again. Wages or not, pocketing the majority of 3 seasons TV Money mustn't be too shabby on the balance sheet. EFL regulations a factor of course, and I think inevitably the better players will leave anyway, just don't think it'll be for financial reasons and means they won't have to sell for bargain prices.

I'd imagine a club like Norwich will have relegation clauses in all contracts however and added to that the parachute payments will help. Norwich will be in better financial health than most clubs relatively speaking, they very much live within their means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep but they're not going to take on the wages of 7 additional players though without some outgoings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but your missing my point, they're existing players will have relegation clauses on their contracts that will reduce the overall wage bill and likely offset some or all of the additional expenditure on wages. It's not as black and white as 7 new players and a bigger wage bill in this scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I get as its common practice but you really think theyve signed 7 players to add to their 25 man squad from last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have released players and there'll be a few they know who'll definitely leave and most likely for good money which reinforces my point, the additional expense of the 7 players in terms of the wage bill will not be something that'll be of any concern, they won't be under massive pressure to sell unlike a club like Burnley or something like that had they went down.

I wasn't claiming theyre on the verge of financial ruin - my point was that they'll let some go given they've taken on extra expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably under no financial need to sell, but having picked up 7 players on decent wages, you'd assume one or two may be moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah of course, my point is they'll be in a decent position to be able to sit tight and get what they want for any of their assets, there'll be no need to sell to balance the books or whatever. It's obvious guys like Lewis, Godfrey, Buendia will likely move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost a similar situation to how we are with Chilwell, no need to sell, so unless they receive a nice offer they'll ignore it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Shep Posted 18 August 2020 Share Posted 18 August 2020 Probably been mentioned a thousand times but with all this Covid business on top of stadium and training ground ambitions will we actually have much to spend on players? Our squad certainly seems like it needs a fair few quality additions without selling key players but can we afford it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Lisemore Posted 18 August 2020 Share Posted 18 August 2020 Quintilla from Villarreal seems another decent move from Norwich, very good player for the Championship.. loan with option to buy for £3m is great business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great ball control in tight areas and the big thing is he does not look to shoot after beating 4 or 5 players for a wonder goal, he sees a pass to a team mate that is open and he plays them in. Just watching his team mates, they appear to try to adjust to him but they are not on his wave length so his skills do not bear the fruit that it should. He is more dynamic that Maddison, stronger on the ball under contact and more importantly does not look to go down even if he stumbles from contact.We unfortunately have too many players in this position and until we resolve our Right Winger problem we are not able to fulfill our potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 19 August 2020 Share Posted 19 August 2020 Updated unrealistic wishlist: Out: £105 million Chilwell £80 million Gray £13 million Ghezzal £ 7 million Slimani £5 million In: £115 million Tagliafico £35 million White £35 million Neres £25 million Eze £20 million Barnes/Albrighton Vardy/Iheanacho Neres/Perez Maddison/Eze Ndidi/Choudhury Tielemans/Praet Tagliafico/Fuchs Soyuncu/White Evans/Benkovic Ricardo/Justin Schmeichel/Ward Very strong 22 man squad for me. We can name Dewsbury-Hall and one other random academy player to fulfill the 4 academy players quota. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
