They do.



They spent good money on Wanyama this summer too. They've pretty quietly built a pretty strong team, I feel the same about Norwich this season, I expect both teams to surprise a lot of people.

Southampton is one of my favorite sides. I think Gaston Ramirez will have a big year.

Van Wolfswinkel will score 15+ IMO.

Yep agree 100% just look at who they have brought in and their commitment to stay up.

Agreed. He looked good last year in bits, but I think with a year of experience under his belt he's primed for a breakout season.

Re: RVW, not so sure. I definitely think he gets double digits though. Norwich also have Hooper and Becchio at forward and will probably play one up top most of the season. They've also built a decent midfield, Leroy Fer will be a very good signing IMO.

Did he honestly think he was going to get a discount from them?

I don't really understand trying to severely underpay for a package deal when it's close-ish to the deadline and you really only need one part of the package.

Yeah, see £15mm for Joe Allen... a good player, but was probably not worth more than £10mm. BR was always gonna have to pay over to his old club..

Nah. He's the only starting striker I have, unless Negredo catches fire early.

What are your feelings on Norwich poaching so much of Leeds top talent over the past few season? I guess Howson and Snodgrass have proven they are premier league quality - even Bradley Johnson who I wasn't so sure about. I'm sure Becchio is regretting his move right now with them bringing in so much competition. He's definitely the not-sexy option up top, but I reckon either striker would probably play well off him.

howson and johnson didn't want to leave but were basically sold by ken bates to generate money for his own pockets. snoddy left because we didn't get promoted and he wasn't a big neil warnock fan and you can tell he was ready for that next step.

becchio was approaching 30 and ready for his big pay day, scored a ton of goals from august thru december and clubs started enquiring about him, turned his head a bit and once that happened warnock wanted him gone. still LMFAO about how much warnock slobbed steve morison's knob since we got him in exchange for becchio but that guy was fricking garbage and mcdermott basically told him to GTFO.

id love to get becchio back on loan or see him get more games somewhere. he really is a good player. not the fastest but scores some beautiful goals. his goal against chelsea last year was fantastic. he and beckford were so good together in the league one years.


eta- frick norwich. fricking canaries.

I saw Leeds play Millwall at the Den a few years ago, at the time Morrison was Millwall's big star (they also had Andros Townsend, who was very impressive) and I remember thinking what an awful player he was, he did look strong in the air though. Lichaj and Barry Bannan were playing for Leeds at the time, both of whom were available this summer. I'm surprised that ya'll didn't move for Lichaj, but I suppose ya'll are in good shape at fullback with Byram and White?

FWIW, Delph is finally starting to put it together at Villa. I can't tell you how excited I was when we bought him off ya'll at 17.
