He was always going to be tough to land, he's shown he can play at this level and as a free agent he'll have plenty of options. Real shame we couldn't land him in January, bit shortsighted from Barnsley as well really as they'd have been a million or so better off.

Their problem was they had already lost Winnall, Hourihane and one other player in January. They certainly lost a lot of momentum from that and selling more players could have put their survival in the division in jeopardy.

A shame for them as they had done so well with that team over the previous 18 months.

I think our interest in Watkins goes back to last summer. Not sure what Town were expecting to pay for him given it was deadline day (or day before) we made our first offer, but i'm sure if we made an acceptable offer then, he would have joined us.

We could've given them Leon Best as a sweetener.

You don't think this will be a one-off and we'll sign all our other targets?

Interesting that the Sporting/Football Director is lining up players for his new manager.

....Sporting Director that works with the manager to get the players in, but to be getting players in when you haven't even got a manager doesn't sound ideal.

Unless they are sticking with Irvine.

Which will be funny.

It's more likely that they are waiting to see what happens with Huddersfield.

So, if I follow the logic of some on here does it mean that a freebie from unfashionable Barnsley shows the scum have no ambition?

I saw this thread and instantly thought to myself..

"I wonder if those who were critical/dismissive/underwhelmed by this transfer link will suddenly bemoan us missing out on a top quality target?"

I mentioned a while back, is going to be really hard to entice the quality players we require for the coming season.

We don't really have anything to offer them in terms of a promotion push etc, so is a difficult flog to say, do you want to sign, we might avoid relegation, our best outcome would mid table and by the way we are losing our fan base and we play a style of football that is not very attractive.

Long summer ahead for the football brains and boffins at IITFC

Didn't really expect to land Watkins after Butchers comments last week and the fact that other teams coveted him as well.

Would still be disappointed to see him sign for the scum though but hopefully Mick is working on other targets as I am sure he was aware early on that we had very little chance of competing with other teams for a player like Watkins.

It makes sense, the manager is more expendable than any player so why should they have such a say on handing out expensive contracts.

Did I hear somewhere that there was an agreement that they couldnt go after Wagner?

If their model is that the manager fits into the style of the club and players already in place (or being purchased by the SD/DoF) then there's no issue. Not something I'd be too disappointed in us doing given the complete lack of football knowledge/nous from anyone apart from McCarthy.

Yes, I suspect we expected to be priced out of this one once it was clear he would be on a free this Summer.

There will be plenty of targets this Summer but it will be nice to get one or two in early given the general mood at the club.

No surprise given the wages Norwich can offer compared to most of the division and the wages they have jettisoned in the last few weeks.

Someone on Twitter said they had reduced their wage bill by £10m at end of the season with all their departures

We didn't have much to offer Skuse, Berra, Tabb, Murphy or McGoldrick in the summer of 2013 but they signed. Only difference being we were in the Evans cycle of giving his managers a bit of money.
