42% have said we should keep JM because, the best is yet to come but why would we hang on to a player who doesn't really want to play for us anymore. I would bite their hand off for the 10 mil offered.:tophat:pool
 
20 mill plus for Maddo,10 mil plus for JM, 30 million plus coming in, the smiffs have had all their loans paid back, no excuse for poor striking now for next season. If 30 million plus cant get us close to promotion next year with a hope for the top 6 where and what would we do next?
 
Sadly it will not.
Most of the money will be used to cover the parachute money loss
and rest spent on third rate German crap with no sell on value.
 
Agree with the original post, Josh is a decent championship player but nowhere near consistent enough to be a PL player let alone worth £10m+

Snap their hands off and reinvest it hopefully
 
Yes , take the cash but don’t be conned by our Owners and Board that the money will go into building a team fit to challenge for promotion because it wont.They have a proven record that they don’t want to do it (highlighted by McNally on Twitter yesterday ) . Last season we had parachute payments and millions in the bank from the sales of Jacob , Piltchard and Howson and we bought average lower league players who gave us a crap 14th finish

The Smiths will be rubbing their hands at a possible £35m coming in which will keep lowly little Norwich nice and solvent in the lower leagues all ready to hand over to Nepotism Tom.

Whatever you think of Josh he was one of our best players last season and once he goes and Madders goes the team that only managed 14th simply has to be weaker . Even if the new Argentinian has a blinder of a season our Board will sell him next season as we sink lower and lower to ensure The Smiths little toy and hobby is ok to hand over to Tom

If Maddison goes that is two more English lads going and so far an Argentinian/Spanish lad in - that criteria are getting harder and harder for us.

Matthews (1)

Pinto
Hanley
Klose
Lewis

Tettey
Trybull

Buendia
Vrancic
Hernandez

Oli

Subs:

McGovern - Husband (2) - Godfrey (3) - Cantwell (4) - Srbeny - Zimmermann - Raggett (5)

We are two short and this is before any others come in like rumours of Leitner and Jones (who is Northern Irish but born in england but would he count)?
 
They will be saying that the 1.5 million spent on Buendia is most of the budget even after 10 million comes in for Murphy and 25 million for Maddison.
 
The way things are being run now, with not spending anymore than we earn, producing academy players to sell etc, is sensible. The reality is though that all the Maddison money will go on plugging the £20m loss of parachute payments and Coventry’s sell on clause. Selling Murphy gives us another £10m, which should provide some more first team squad players, assuming it goes into the playing budget.
In the future we will again be a selling club, if we ever changed from that. Back to the days of the Robert Chase regime as we produce young players and then sell them after a couple of good seasons. Jamal Lewis, Ben Godfrey and Todd Cantwell look the next likely candidates.
Without a wealthy benefactor, this is it folks... :(
 
Unless we go up next season and we won't have to do that plus we will get the prem money so let's aim for that.

Reports saying the deal in £11 million. Do we have to plug the whole hole straight away? can't we say put £15 million into it then with the 11 million and say £5 million from Maddison we use on players?

I think we will see hardly any spent and 1.5 million spent might be in the high level that we spend. Free players and players in the value of 200k.
 
Good sense to sell him IMO...That should give us 10m+ to reinvest on players thats assuming Madisson goes for 20m+

The 23-year-old FA Youth Cup winner was believed to be in Cardiff overnight according to sources in south Wales, to tie up a deal that would represent the Canaries’ first major sale of the summer transfer window.
Saturday had seen Murphy linked with a Chris Hughton reunion at Brighton, alongside potential interest from another promoted club in Fulham and a Middlesbrough side hoping to emulate that feat next season.
However, Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock appears to have stolen a march on them all with an eight-figure move – 12 months after Murphy’s twin Jacob was sold to a newly promoted Newcastle United for an initial £10m.
Warnock’s side finished second in the Championship last season, having loaned out of favour City winger Yanic Wildschut from January.
 
Pink Un chaps saying that we should expect to see us spend that 11 million from Murphy deal. So where is it going then?
 
“Josh is a player I’ve watched for a number of years now and he’s always excited me when he runs with the ball,” Warnock told the Bluebirds’ official site.

Not quite so exciting when he then crosses the ball behind the goal.
