downendcity Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Quite right. Really disappointed that it's midday on 1st June and we haven't had at least 6 new experienced, championship quality signings, costing a minimum of £5m each, up on the Lansdown roof. Really - get a grip! 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 We've known for some time Bryan and McCrorie are very likely signings so the surprise now would be if they don't sign. Tinman said we'd be looking to sign experienced but still young lower league players, and interestingly these 2 and O'Brien don't fit the bill so presumably we're aiming to sign several lower league improvers as well.

I quite like him, but it will be interesting to see his role and fit with Szmodics and Gallagher now Brereton-Diaz is gone. Big boots to fill, goals to replace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club cannot do anything they promise it seems we will be left clutching at the dross that teams DONT WANT To win the transfer window panic trophy you have to say: 1. You want 'marquee' signings and 2. Everybody else has signed loads of players (while ignoring the kind of factual stuff @Davefevshas posted of course). C- must try harder.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 I'm sure some agreements have been reached but the transfer window doesn't open until June 14th, while players contracts don't generally end until June 30th. Plenty of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Still rather early but Norwich usually sell more, thinking of it from an FFP angle- they didn't clear a huge amount of amortisation from departures either, the books to okay next season but this. Upper Loss Limit to this season was £72m, to 2023-24 it'll be £61m and Year 2 of Parachute Payments is £5-10m lower than Year 1. That is a negative swing of £16-21m in headroom. They even posted a loss in the PL which is very unlike them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoss Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Blimey, the transfer market isn't run like a DFS sale. Get in early and make the most savings. Teams are still playing football who we are reportedly buying from. I think we have deals already sewn up and due to respect for their current clubs we haven't announced them to fans. Other deals are probably ongoing with clubs and others further in discussion with players/agents returning from holidays and evaluating their options. I'm actually really looking forward to our business as I think we've done the hard bit and released/sold big earners and now have a clean slate to make solid additions within our new wage structure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hear it from Pearson, Tinnion, Lansdown or the player themselves, I might start believing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness the DFS sale is ongoing…have you ever know the DFS Sale Window slam shut? Anyone remember Cordells in town (opposite Lewis’s). They always had a sale on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely ridiculous to moan at this point, Pearson has already said he wants new players in before pre season aswell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
