Don't believe it Kenwright said his Goodbyes something is happening.

Do we have a date as to when the take over will be done just so I no if I'm right or wrong.

Due diligence was meant to be until the end of Jan SkyL, should have some concrete news next week then.

Strong rumours surrounding the club at the moment are that Bryan Oviedo is on his way to Norwich City for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £4 million.

This has been reported in a few different places with some members of staff at Norwich's Colney training base also confirming.

£4m not near enough. Although isn't he out of contract at the end of the season?

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 21:26:23
We payed 2.5 for him if I remember correctly. He now has less than a year on his contract, is injury prone and will probably never be as good as when we signed him. 4m is good business.

Agree4 Disagree2

26 Jan 2016 21:40:25
He's still only 25 or 26. Has been very injury prone. Doesn't necessarily mean he will be for the next 4 or 5 years. Still has to reach his peak in that time.

Agree1 Disagree1

26 Jan 2016 22:13:47
I thought we paid 5.

Agree2 Disagree1

26 Jan 2016 23:22:48
We did pay 5. Would be ridiculous to sell him, as NBTB said he's still young, plus he's very versatile and one of our tidier players. To lose 2 quality, committed fan favorites to Norwich in January is just bizarre.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 23:38:09
I do apologise it was 5 mil. Even still after that horror injury and more since I don't think he'll ever be the same player. I hope he proves me wrong tho.

Agree2 Disagree0

27 Jan 2016 01:44:03
We should be chuffed with 4m, I love Bryan but he is too injury prone and like Gibson, will probably remain that way for the rest of his career. He's not getting in ahead of Baines, Galloway or Garbutt, why keep him? Why keep Gibson? . If we can earn money for them then we should jump at the chance, none of them are affecting the first team and are going for free in the summer, we need to sell these players asap.

Agree1 Disagree2

27 Jan 2016 02:45:12
Pienaar, Hibbert and Osman out of contract and probably gone in the summer. Naismith already gone.

Oviedo can play in Pienaar's position and recently Hibberts. Gibson could play in similar role to Osman.

You want to sell Oviedo and Gibson swan?

That would be six out. Replace them with what? Martinez has a big over spend since his arrival. Can't imagine he will be buying a big number of players. Might be best to hold onto Gibson and Oviedo as they are quality players and there is already a lot of players leaving.

Yes they had a tough time with injuries. Be a shame to throw them out on their ear after all this time.

I can't tell if they are going to get injured again. No one can. Would be very good squad players and you'd have to hope for the best in terms of injury.

Otherwise that would be six players out with a little over £10m, maybe £15m. Some will be replaced with youth. Can't replace them all with our up and coming players.

Have to have some experience in the squad. Besides wouldn't even leave Martinez spend at evens. He hasn't taken in much money.

Agree1 Disagree0

27 Jan 2016 04:53:10
We have Mirallas, Lennon and Deulofeu to replace Pienaar. Bryan isn't getting in at left back, Gibson is always injured and we have plenty of cover for him. Need a new right back, we have plenty of players to replace them. Evident from the fact none of them ever play.

Agree1 Disagree3

27 Jan 2016 13:31:52
Have you ever heard of a thing called injuries to other players bar Oviedo and Gibson, Swan?

There's enough players leaving in the summer. We need a full squad. Won't have one if we keep letting players go.

Ever heard of proper cover or suspensions? We have options as I said the squad is pretty full but getting rid of six plus players with virtually no money to replace them is a bit over the top.

Can't replace them all with youngsters. Our average age would be 23 then. Need the experience. I can't see into the future regards injury. For all I or anyone knows Gibson and Oviedo might never get injured again.

You can't take for granted a player is going to get injured. No matter what history they have with injuries.

Agree1 Disagree1

27 Jan 2016 16:26:03
Same reason Liverpool should sell Sturridge, taking up wages and not playing enough games.

I find it very unlikely out of nowhere they will become not injury prone. Oviedo is 4th choice left back and 5-6th choice winger, where will he play? . He will want regular football, ever heard of players not wanting to be a squad player in case the 5 players ahead of them all get career threatening injuries or suspensions. Gibson the same, Ledson and Grant should be ready to be a part of the first team next season, Gibson is on decent money to play 3-4 games a season if we are lucky. The likelihood of Besic, Barry, Barkley, McCarthy, Cleverley, Ledson and Grant all being injured or suspended at the same time is very unlikely indeed. Otherwise we would just buy 20 players for each position just to be sure. We don't need these players, they are taking up over 40k a week to play not even double figures in games COMBINED each season, added on to them wanting to play games. Promote youth, to which we have plenty of, or get some loans in.

Do we keep spending millions of pounds per year on these players for new contracts and wages just on the off chance "they stop getting injured".

Agree1 Disagree2

27 Jan 2016 20:47:13
Ok Swan. I forgot. You can see into the future and you know they are going to get injured again.

Agree0 Disagree1

28 Jan 2016 00:31:04
It doesn't take a soothsayer to know that Gibson will be injured next year. Naismith I would have kept but the other 5 can go for me. They don't warrant a game now and will be a year older/ worse next season. We would save over 6m in wages which could be reinvested .

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jan 2016 02:51:06
Thank you for the English lesson Pod. Had to look up what soothsayer was.

I can only speak for myself and I can't guarantee that Gibson and Oviedo will get injured.

Hi Ed, is there any legs on reports linking us with the very highly rated sporting Lisbon striker Islam Slimani? I think he could settle in our team and league quickly COYB.

Believable0 Unbelievable2

{Ed001's Note - you have been following him for years, so there is something in it, not sure if there is any move in the offing now though, West Ham have enquired over the last few days, that I do know.}

26 Jan 2016 17:09:06
So he's going to West Ham then.

{Ed025's Note - i have not seen that lance but if it is true we may hopefully hear something soon, but saying that they usually keep us in the dark until the last minute mate..

26 Jan 2016 13:16:08
Where did you hear that Lance, heart missed a few beats when I read that mate, we need some good news soon.

Agree4 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 20:23:22
Is this actually good news tho? Only time will tell just remember though for every abromovic there is 3 randy learners. Imagine if we got had like the reds did with hicks and Gillette.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 12:23:06
we have been linked with Felipe Caicedo for 7.5. Surely there better them him he dreadful if we get him that lack of ambition from roberto.

Believable8 Unbelievable2

26 Jan 2016 14:19:48
Caicedo is not 'dreadful' he is probably 2x the player Kone is.

Agree1 Disagree3

26 Jan 2016 14:35:43
Bretto do you have 50 TV's in your house showing 50 matches across the world all at one time with an optiton to watch individual players? . You seem to know just about every player out there and how good/ bad they are? . You got like a MNF set up going on? .

Agree2 Disagree5

26 Jan 2016 16:29:27
not every play seen espanyol couple times this year he not dreadfully but I meant he downgrade on naisy.

Agree4 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 16:57:31
if he's a downgrade on naismith he must be rubbish then

Agree3 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 19:49:12
Wow can Roberto have us linked with anyone better I thought the whole idea of getting rid of naismith was to improve the team not make it worse. one last thing let's pull on them shirts 2moz with pride let's take bill kenwright to Wembley and win him a trophy it's the least that man deserves.

Agree6 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - im with you 100% konehead..well said mate..

26 Jan 2016 19:56:09
What a great post! Abit of sense a last!

26 Jan 2016 20:22:52
I agree konehead.

26 Jan 2016 20:46:08
Yea, great post konehead.

Agree5 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 06:32:22
Is there any chance of us signing anyone in the next few days? Is it possible the board are holding back any money from the Naismith sale as they don't trust Martinez with it?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

26 Jan 2016 10:27:31
that Dutch rb maybe van rhijn.

Agree0 Disagree2

26 Jan 2016 11:43:34
Something may be happening in the background but I doubt if they are holding back from Martinez because they don't trust him. He was hired because A. he is a yes man and not a bad waffler. B. He has a reputation for bringing through good young players (totally ignoring the fact that he doesn't know what to do with them at our level) . C. He promised them Champions League. Having said that this board appear to be just decoration all the power is held in Bill and our CEO's hands and with Bill Ill, nothing will happen to Martinez. He could lose the next 5 games and still be here.

Agree4 Disagree1

26 Jan 2016 11:59:50
Duncsmum you really do have a low opinion of our chairman he would not hire a yes man think about it moyes weren't a yes man and bill wanted him to stay so swerve the slander of an ill man.

Agree1 Disagree5

26 Jan 2016 12:43:39
That is low to accuse me of slandering Bill. The bloke is ill and I wish him all the best. My opinion is that Martinez is a yes man and will say and promise anything to hold onto his job. Bill is an honest man who has done wonders for this Club but the thing is he is trusting and honestly believed everything this fraud told him.

Agree8 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 14:16:48
Blueliam. That's a bit OTT mate. Duncansmun would not have meant anything bad.

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Jan 2016 15:12:04
Only saying what I see duncsmum I am sorry if I offended you its just you seem too be implying that bill will just let us keep losing and nothing would happen because he's Ill which would imply you believe he's not doing the best for our club now forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't believe I am.
