mail on line are saying lambert has fallen out with club over spending funds and is really to talk to villa. what do you think ed {Ed015's Note - I think as its in the Daily Fail there is nothing to worry about,lazy journalism of the highest order.}
19 May 2012 17:47:24
daily telegraph everton interested in holt and moyes will be bid for him
19 May 2012 17:40:54
Emile heskey seen at Conley {Ed015's Note - Thank god for that, we train at Colney.}
19 May 2012 17:37:40
ed whats the truth in lambert talking to villa next week do you think he will go and manage them instead of staying put {Ed015's Note - Would be very surprised if he talked to Villa, for a start McNally would refuse permission and I expect Solkjaer to be named manager.} Solskjer has turned it down {Ed015's Note - I thought that ,then re-read what he actually said and he leaves it open for him to be offered the job.}
19 May 2012 17:29:14
Ed what's your opinion on D Pacheco and C Davis? And apparently Arsenal will be after Holt if RVP goes to Man C? Cheers {Ed015's Note - Liked Pacheco in his brief spell, I think he would be interested in a move, it's whether Lambert wants him, C Davies keeps being linked sort of player we need and I cannot see Holt going hopefully just his agent playing silly buggers.} Ok cheers Ed :)
19 May 2012 14:08:41
Grant Holt leaving? Ok everyone lets look at some stats here. Grant Holt has come to the club and been a key part of our 2 promotions and keeping us in the Premiership. FACT. He his quoted as saying that 'he hopes Lambert is still here when he gets back' So this could also be a signal that Lambert is about to go too. But here is my view. We all owe Grant a vote of thanks, and not slagging him off. We paid around £400,000 for him. IF he does go it will be foe at least a couple of MILLION. I think whats going on here is that he hasnt been offered a new contract after we have secured Premiership for next season. He see's he has scored a LOT of goals, and wants a few more £'s for his services. The very fact that the club has refused his request signals to me that they are sorting out a new contract. If a player wants out of your club, then its always best to allow it as they are no longer committed to you. We have REFUSED his request not accepted it. So I reckon it is contract related and Delia has accepted the fact that mistakes was made before and will be clued in that we should be keeping Grant. So Grant, If you treuly do go to another club, then you at least have my respect, blessings and thanks for what you have done. As Ed, has said 'Lambert prefers youngsters' Lambert did not sign Holy, Gunny did. Well, we managed to stay in the Prem with a low budget this season and hadnt spent much at all. So we know it can be done, but we can not afford to gamble. I think that we the guarentee of another Premiership season we will see more investment. We know Lambert wants to bring in more depth, so Its time for the club to put up or shut up. Keeping Lambert is key, not Holt. We can easily attract a new hotshot, with the chance of Premiership football and being under Lambert is a good draw to. There are plenty of young strkers out there who would jump at the chance of Premiership football under Lambert. So if Holy goes, I wont like it too much, but I wont be losing sleep over it. Lambert is the KEY here. Holt is expendable and 31..nuff said. {Ed015's Note - Spot on I too would be more worried to lose Lambert.} Well said. Praise must also got McNally who has dealt with all this very well. I think we have a great chief in place.
19 May 2012 10:55:51
Holt may be on his way to link up with former front man rickie lambert at saints! Holt will go north to everton not south ///// Holt going to everton {Ed015's Note - McNally , ncfc Chief Exec stated no bids have been made, it appears to be a purely financial move by the players agent .}
19 May 2012 07:53:08
Holts request maybe caused by frustration by being overlooked for England,I hope he stays,but if a stupid offer comes in would Delia and Co be daft to turn it down?
18 May 2012 23:35:49
Two successive promotions has pushed the club too far too quickly. The infrastructure is not able to cope with the pressures of Prem League and the players higher expectations of investment and ambition in the squad.
The possibility of Lambert leaving and an over cautious board is developing a "mini crisis" behind the scenes at the club.
18 May 2012 22:55:10
everton fan holt could be on his way to everton moyes watched him few times Yeah, he watched Holty score against his team twice.
18 May 2012 17:36:26
Grant Holt hands in transfer request! Didn't know anyone was interested in buying him. Why leave? captain and legend loved by all the fans... Everyone seems to think he is joining southampton. I think maybe there is truth in this afterall.....They have tonnes of money now..atthhhhhh {Ed015's Note - There have been no approaches from other clubs}. It was only a couple of days ago he was saying he hoped lambert would stay, whats happend since then if no intrest has been shown in him I think sunderland would want him. oneil said he wanted a goal scorer and its closer to home for holt. Could just be agent working, agent would get a cut of a transfer fee if Holt were to leave. Or he is trying to get more money out of norwich? I could understand some frustration on his part as i imagine his wages are alot less than other strikers in the prem, but should show some loyalty, unless of course lambert is off then that may be his reason Think there is maybe some truth in him wanting to go back north. So Sunderland would maybe a good fit. Hope he stays though. Come on Delia buy him a helicopter so he can make home trips easier! Could be, but simon thomas on sky has said it isnt related to a club wanting him apparently Looks like Lambert is on the move and Holt is to join him. terrible news !!! Being fair to holty, he's been amazing for us. but he's had years in the lower leagues not making huge money, and perhaps at his age feels his due one last big pay day. Perhaps a big signing on fee, and a decent contract for a few years to see him good. Moyes wants to bring him to everton made a interest in him holt wants to go
18 May 2012 14:36:53
The only signing we need is Lamberts on an improved contract.We've seen what he has achieved on a budget.I've questioned some signings and he's proved me wrong,so keep going the same way and we'll climb the table next season.From one very satisfied Canary.
18 May 2012 14:32:36
Owen's ego wouldn't allow him to come to City.Can't afford or need him,the only signing we need is Lambert signing an improved contract.
18 May 2012 07:44:41
Gutted Whitbread is gone.... Had to be something other than his performances which have been very good this season in comparison to the likes of Ward and Barnett.
Looks like Barnett will be sold, Ward has one more year and will probably get loaned out or play as 5th choice in the Rezzies and 1 CD will be brought in. R Martin is a good cover option who will get minutes at right back even if we sign K Naughton
NEW SIGNING - Curtis Davis
R Bennett
D Ayala
R Martin
E Ward
Summer Signings
K Naughton
C Davis
J Rhodes
? Someone nobody has heard of the turns out to be a world beater!!
4 is enough up until January Also need a rb and a holding midfileder a ball winner someone in front of the back four dont think we will get naughton back
17 May 2012 15:59:07
Ed have you heard anything about players on the way in? Any news on norwich looking at anyone? {Ed015's Note - Nothing yet, mind you nothing much comes out of FCR these days.}
17 May 2012 15:42:13
Michael Owen on a Freebie? Would it work with him and Holt? {Ed015's Note - Not for me, wages may be high and I think he would want to keep close to his horses}. Horses can be stabled anywhere, and trainers will always be looking for a good blooded horse to have under his or her Groom so that is not an issue with this, as well as that, horses will travel to a meeting day or 2 prior to a race, End of argument {Ed015's Note - Thought he had stables somewhere up north, sorry.} Who cares about his horses. He's always injured and we can't afford the wages of someone that's always going to be on the physio table and lets face it..he's not going to join Norwich. {Ed015's Note - Agree.} Wages will be too high for the club to offer he is a has been any way we want new talent like the jordan rhodes OTBC
17 May 2012 15:37:46
Zak Whitbread and Aaron Wilbraham have been released along with young pro's Matt Ball, Richard Brindley and Josh Dawkin, all the best for the future. Cant believe they have let whitbread go and still have ward the donkey on the books {Ed015's Note - Rumour is that by playing a certain number of games Ward has activated a clause in his contract for a further year, not to say he is still required.}
15 May 2012 19:42:37
I've seen a few comments on here saying we do not need new centre backs. My opinion is that surely the fact we have conceded so many and also not had many clean sheet points towards the fact that we need to improve defencively. I have a feeling we will never se Ward in a Norwich shirt again, Barnett is severly out of favour. Whitbread and Ayala do seem to have a certain amount of qaulity but spend more time with the physio than with the team. So we end up with Russell Martin who I feel is head and shoulders better than our other defneder in centre half and Ryan Bennett who has heaps of potential. I can see us gettting at least 1 centre half probably from championship level, maybe from Birmingham who were very solid at the back this year or somebody along those lines. Lots of rumours about Curtis Davies joining from Birmingham who could be a good acquisition as I agree that we need to build the defensive side of the team. I've been impressed with Swansea's defense this year and it's something we need improving on.
14 May 2012 19:07:49
Klasnic and Eagles please Mr McNally Not good enough dont find the back of the net that often eagles is a good winger his goal getting is very poor no thanks to both Eagles hardky cut it at bolton im happy with are wingers bennet and pilks no need to change there
14 May 2012 11:41:11
Any Norwich news ed ? {Ed015's Note - Quiet at moment, just the hysteria around Lambert to Villa.} Lambert coyle favs
14 May 2012 05:01:20
alright just seeing what the canaries think about glasgow celtic comming down i for 1 am really looking forward to it i know they will come in big numbers as they always do and there all saying there looking forward to it think paul lambert will get some ovation what use think?? {Ed015's Note - Looking forward to it, should be a good turnout, there is a rumour that Lambert will play.}
13 May 2012 08:14:12
If bids for Jordan Rhodes fail Paul Lambert will bid for sheffield wednesdays Gary Madine. Sounds plausible. Sheffield will fight to keep him after being promoted though. If there's ever been a time when Norwich should push the boat out its now, Paul Lambert should be given what he ask's for, the club has to back him 150%, look what he's done on a shoestring, lets see what he could do with money If we expect to keep Lambert at Carrow road, then we HAVE to provide him with the funds he needs. Lambert has given 1,000,000 % to our club, now it's our turn to repay that. {Ed015's Note - Think the club will do all they can, but if a big club i.e. Liverpool came in for him, we can't stand in his way}. If Paul wanted to leave, then I think he would leave with our blessings and thanks and be one of the few true legendry managers we have had. We must do everything we humanly can to ask him to stay with us.
12 May 2012 19:20:09
everton fan here been told everton will target holt to partner jelavic not sure the figure maybe 4 to 6 million 4 million wouldnt even get remotely close. It would be laughed out of the door. We are not in any need to sell unless way more than a players worth is offered. I think it would realistically take £10 mill to buy Holt. Thats not his value in a true market, but he epitomises everything about our club, and money cannot replace that. Dream on Toffees :) If Carroll cost £35mil then Everton fans can forget getting grant Holt for less than £12mil The difference is the age though. Carroll is now 23 and holt is 31! PLus Everton can offer the chance of european football and a wage rise which Norwich can not so 4-6 m for 31 year old who would be a decent squad player is fair
As he's knocking on and would want to achieve something before he retires
11 May 2012 07:52:22
Norwich and west brom both got eyes on Thomas heurtaux of Caen. According to talksport. Ed have you heard anything of this? Or even know anything about him? {Ed015's Note - Same as you, never heard of him,check on wiki for only a little bit more, these sort of deals never seem to transpire though.} He's another CB, which we dont need
10 May 2012 18:22:33
Leon Osman's agent has been at Carrow Road discussing a £1.5million move {Ed015's Note - Would be a great signing, but I am sorry just cannot see it happening.} Wont happen not for that price //////
09 May 2012 23:02:23
Harry Maguire to sign for norwich after the lge1 playoffs, 1.7m fee plus add ons Who ??? {Ed015's Note - Young Sheffield Utd centre back.} We've gotta be looking at better quality than this me thinks Same was said about Pilkington. Pilks was an exceptional one off. I seriously think we need to be looking at better quality players than league 1 players if we wanna do anything in the Premier League Pilks was not a one off, lambert spotted his AMAZING talent and look how he ended up, a first team regular. If lambert can see that in maguire then I see no reason why maguire shouldn't come to us. Maguire is way too slow to make it in the Prem. Wouldn't be an improvement to the team. Haha all you saying pilkington is a one of what about the other winger we bought in the summer who came from league one, he was voted player of the month. there is plenty of talent lurking about... I trust in Lambert with his decisions look what they have done. Don't doubt what he says or does just trust in him and we will do well! If he thinks we need a new CB then we need one end of story.
09 May 2012 22:01:38
Daniel Pacheco to play in drury's testimonial game. Anything in it? Who knows? Let's hope so , any truth in it ed ? {Ed015's Note - He asked to be included on Twitter}. There has been a bit of tweeting between the two, where Pacheco asked to play. Not sure if actually will. Pacheco would be great to have back in the fold
08 May 2012 19:16:24
Fire Sale at Wolves and Blackburn... PL has to be looking at these targets if towards end of contracts
Wolves
M Jarvis
M Kightly
K Doyle
Blackburn
M G Pederson
S N'Zonzi
M Formica
J Lowe
Bolton - If relegated (although i really hope not, QPR please)
C Eagles Pederson to old but jarvis yes please Other than Lowe from Blackburn, I see no defenders on this list, Surely this is where City need to strengthen.
Would live to see 2 new CB and a LB brought in.
Bertrand from Chelsea would be a great but and would be nice to see him back in yellow and green.
Any suggestions welcome for the CB ? {Ed015's Note - Curtis Davies at Birmingham has been mentioned.} Anthony gardner c.palace 6ft 5 cb would be nice or souleymane bamba leicester....k Pederson too old? What planet are you on?
Was Dion to old?
Was Roberts to old?
Is Giggs to old?
Is Scholes to old?
Is Beckham to old?
I could go on and on. Age is a number, just like the one on their backs. If they can still perform the role, then who gives a dam?
Id love to see Pederson at Carrow Road in our shirt. He would being in a wealth of experience too.
Too old....yeah right. {Ed015's Note - Age is no barrier, but Mr Lambert does seem to favour younger players.}
04 May 2012 12:04:11
Only thing that matters is that Lambert stays!! Paul Lambert has to stay, if we can keep him at Carrow Road - Surely that would be the best signing of the summer for us.
03 May 2012 21:33:04
a host of clubs ars after norwich defenderzak whitbread everton sunderland wigan reading and southampton are after the canary defender could go on a bosmam//////sky spo news
03 May 2012 12:07:55
Accrington canary here reports up here in the north are saying Norwich will make a bid for Bolton defender Zak Knight the 6ft 6ins is unhappy at Bolton, the asking price will be somewhere between 3. and 5 million for the c.b .............. {Ed015's Note - Certainly big enough!} Then He'l be going somewhere else then
03 May 2012 09:57:21
Because norwich has limited spending money Lambert should look at this guy and act fast.
From Talksport
Premier League new boys Reading are in a fight with Everton and Fulham to sign Icelandic striker Bjorn Bergmann Sigurdarson. (The Sun) Ja, I like this Spieler Bjorn Bergmann, together mit dem Grant Holt. I recommend to mie dear friend Lambert this post {Ed015's Note - Thank you Ottmar, keeping well?} Ja Danke, well , but better with Bergmann at Norwich, perfekter spieler in tolles Team
03 May 2012 08:31:37
norwich ins - need another rb , cb , need two midfielders a brickhouse holding ball winner , another pacey winger and two strikers with pace. {Ed015's Note - Possibly a lb as well}. Naughton, moses, lansbury, michu, rhodes, jay rod, c davies {Ed015's Note - Pretty penny there, one or two would be nice.} How about reuniting Dann and Johnson at CB (both relegated but were a good partnership at Birmingham) with Ryan Bennett and Ayala providing some youthful back up. Would like to keep Zak, but always tricky when a contract is expiring.
02 May 2012 21:05:43
Lambert wants to sign new centre-mids:
Leon Osman £4.5million
Karl Henry £3million Cant see us wasting 7.5 mill on two players plus k henry is injury prone {Ed015's Note - Certainly a lot for us}. Good call on Osman-apart from the fact that we couldn't afford what Everton would ask for him or his wages, and he wouldn't want to come here...
As for Henry? No chance. Limited player who has just been relegated.
30 Apr 2012 13:20:06
Holt to be in England squad now Hodgson in charge?
your thoughts? {Ed015's Note - Why not, statistically deserves a go, shame Morison is Welsh.} Wont never play for england falls over to much when anyones near him {Ed015's Note - Ashley Young gets picked.} If Holt plays for England he'll be the worst England player since Mark Barham. Erm.... You only get picked if you play for a top six side so holt will never play for england So who does Darren Bent play for then {Ed015's Note - Yep,got a point there}. Your having a laugh if you think tubby will play for England he wouldn't get in the women's team dream on {Ed015's Note - So come on then put some meat on the bones of your argument who deserves to go instead of him? Only top 6. Thats a load of Fulham, I mean Cobblers.
Steve Bull wasn't top 6, ok he wasnt that good in the England Shirt. Our own Rob Green was championship and now is and I bet he still gets a call up. I reckon Holt would do really well. I'd like to see Ruddy get a nod too.
30 Apr 2012 13:17:08
norwich ins
paul jones keeper peterboro - free transfer
luke Chambers forest free transfer
Jake Livermore spurs 1.6 mill
Jay Rodriguez burnley 4 .2 mill
{Ed015's Note -Can't see Harry letting Livermore go especially for 1.6M.}
30 Apr 2012 09:46:49
Seems to be a lot of suggestions flying around who is going to leave this summer....Who in everyones opinion is more definite to depart this summer? {Ed015's Note - Chris Martin, Simon Lappin,one of Ward or Whitbread and Barnett. Haven't got a clue really.}
28 Apr 2012 15:42:06
Norwich signings to start 2012.2013 season:
Jordan Rhodes
Kyle Bennett - E Benno's brother
Victor Moses
Kyle Naughton
Chris Gunter
Matt Jarvis
Lewis McGugan
And some more defenders any rumored ed or anyone? {Ed015's Note - Some of those will be out of our budget, as for defenders there was a rumour in the week that Curtis Davies of Birmingham is lined up if they fail in the playoffs.} Deffo some of them tho
26 Apr 2012 16:37:39

Time to invest! Thoughts anyone?? {Ed015's Note - One or two may happen, but we can all dream.} This is a rumours site not a christmas i want site {Ed015's Note - Totally agree, would be ideal if we could keep things real.} As if your got 4.5 mill to spend {Ed015's Note - Haven't we?} Very reasonable targets in my opinion, any other predictions? I think there may be a few more out the door....... Its much more interesting to hear this kind of reasonable educated opinion than everyones washed up "rumours" which come straight of their a#$%. Well played sir, lets get the site buzzing again. #opinonscounttoo We spent circa 10 million last season. This year we have lower debt, a second season on premier league money and we are on to finish 4-6 places higher than budgeted, so we will have approx 4 million more than we planned. Id say our budget for fees will be in the region of £15 million after sales which is 4 quality players 3 of whom id love to be Rhodes, Rodriguez and Naughton. Then spend a nice lump on a quality DM - not really sure who though. Very realistic targets in my opinion. To much change for Lambert in my opinion, I can see 4 players coming in over the summer. Why disrupt what we have to much? I saw Chris Martin at Home in Beccles yesterday with his family, He is not planning to move away to Palace or anywhere Wat a long list you should send one off to santa mate xxx Lots of ins and outs on here any more and we will soon be doing the hokey cokey You won't and you havn't got that money to spend cause your got know ambition {Ed015's Note - It's no ambition}. We have plenty of ambition thanks. That's why we are where we are. We spent the most in the championship last year, after QPR, in our first season back. We knew what we had to do and got it done.
We theN spent over £10 million first season back in the premier league and have all but mathematically secured our second season at the top table of English football. We have reduced our debt, put plans in place to expand the stadium when we secure our 3rd year of premiership football at the end of next season and will strengthen our squad with 3-4 quality players this summer.
Who are you a fan of by the way? Dont tell me you are an Ip**ich fan? I don't think that is a bad list of either!
Would love it to happen but it wont. 5/6 in, 7/8 out (inc loans) i think. Not jay rod snodgrass kightly but others very decent targets another few are rhodes kyle bennett and jarvis "As if your got 4.5 mill to spend" -yep, two seasons in the Premier League-all that and more to spend. You're an Ipswich fan. LOL! PS: It's "you're" by the way. 1 Mil for snodgrass, are you dreaming they turned down 3 mil last year, would love to get him though. Not a chance of getting Snodgrass, he's seen Howson and Johnson's careers stumble. No chance of getting are snoddy unless you offer 4 plus, i would be happy to watch him leave and use that money in areas needed. really good player but lacks pace. mot4life
21 Apr 2012 15:02:31
Have not seen Andrew Crofts name on the 1st team list for a while (including subs
bench). What has happened to him? {Ed015's Note - Seems to have fallen out of favour a wee bit, wouldn't be surprised to see him go.}
We take no responsibility for the accuracy or otherwise of published norwich rumours
