Vital Football Legend
Last one this season.
DW on Dowell:
He has done quite well in the time that I have worked with him but we want a fresh group. So we have to create this space. This is why he is leaving.
DW on Byram:
He has been here for a few years now, but he just hasn't put a run of games together due to his injuries.
DW on Sinani:
I take on board what the guys had told me what had happened before and we need new faces and new energy to this group of players.
DW says that Monday will be a day for Pukki. They will try to start him against Blackpool.
DW on giving something for the fans:
'Everything that we will do in the transfer window is not based on Monday’s game, no. We like to win football matches and this is our aim for Monday.'
Hernandez is back fit for Monday
Sargent has an injury that will keep him out until sometime in preseason.
It was hoped that placheta would be able to make a couple of games this season ut he hasn't recovered in time and now will be ready for preseason.
Is Sargent turning into an injury concern? The guy has been out a lot this season and now has another long Injury. We will be down to Idah upfront.
DW on preseason:
Next season there will be some very crucial parts (that need to be right). This will be our pre-season (his first and his pre-season) and it will be be our transfer window (his players to come in and work with). We really have to make sure we get this all 100% right to be competitive next season.
DW on the squad for next season:
I am very happy with what we all have in our heads. We have been showing the potential new players the training ground and the amenities around the club. All the first steps are done. But we do have more to be done.
So it sounds like the first new players have already be setup and shown around so I expect the first new signing to be confirmed sooner rather than later.
DW much like DF was like saying that he wants all transfers done by the 1st pre season game:
I want all the new players in for the start of preseason. This is very important to me. If we can get those players we want early then that will be great.
DW answers questions around selling Aarons and Omobamidele:
It is very common that we sell players to invest (it's our way). This is what we have to do and we do like to do. If we want new faces in the group then we just have o make the space for them. If you can do this and make some money that is great.
So he says the club likes to sell players and it is the clubs way. There ladies and gentlemen is one big issue with this club - they are happy to sell all their top talent.
Also sounds like both Aarons and Omobamidele will be sold.
Also if we have already shown new players around and discussed things how are we affording to buy them unless these are say two loan players or players out of contract.
Asked about where he will add new players DW said he isn't happy answering that.
If it is not disrespectful I don't want to answer that.
DW on Norwich and Huddersfield.
The setup here is different class. The thing is the squad is just not big enough. We have to make sure that we have the balance right. There are certain positions that we haven't been good enough in terms of quality and depth. But I am excited going forward.
So DS came in and said the group is too big and now we are told it is too small...couldn't make it up.
DW saying that there are areas we are short and we haven't done enough - I am guessing upfront, central defence, the wingers (DW hasn't been happy about this since joining) and maybe the attacking midfielder role.
DW asked about the loan market to save on spending money:
I really love to bring success to Norwich City FC. If we have to go to the loan market to get players then of course we will do.
DW says he is very interested to see where Pukki decides to play instead off here for us.
DW confirms that the club will not sell Mumba and he will be a big part of the club next season.
So says Mumba is going nowhere but didn't say that about Aarons and Omobamidele.
DW confirms that he will not be going away after the game as he has work to do and next week he will be in his office working away. I remember DS pissed off to America for like three weeks after the relegation didn't he?
Yes, next week I will b back here. I will probably go somewhere, but I haven't made those plans as yet. I will go to Germany maybe. then I'll be straight back to talk to players and agents.
I wonder if our preseason tour this year will be in Germany again.
