Alan Partridge I'm not sure what's worse really, demanding a manager sacked after 5/6 games or this guff, claiming all his signings are brilliant because they've finally done what their paid to do in ONE match.
We are still massively in the relegation mixup and nowhere near the good scrap at the top of the league. Is that progression or the signs of a unified well run club? That we've gone from the 8th best team in the country to the 41st in just over 2 years?
Rodgers signings have been extremely hit and miss already, although i would say it's still early doors. Cummings has shown nothing to suggest he's as good as a frankly ordinary Rosenior, he's been so poor Rodgers would sooner pick Tabb, a left footed central midfielder to play there. Rasiak is one of those players that is going to split opinion. Some will hate him and think he's clumsy and useless and some will look straight at the stats. I am probably more towards the latter having seen him a few times. I think he's awkward, extremely average but he's one of those players that will end up with 10-15 goals. He just has a knack of being in good areas and I back him a million times more than any of the others to put a chance away.
McAnuff is your typical CHampionship winger, looks brilliant for 30minutes, then drifts off. He'll be up and down, although I prefer him to Kebe. I think there is a little more consistancy with him but he's not going to be any sort of superstar.
Howard I've only seen a couple of times and I was most hopeful for him than any of the other signings but I don't think he's particularly any better than what we've got. I don't think he's significantly better than Davies, Sigurdsson and especially Marek.
So I don't know really. But talk of corners turned and Rodgers is now some sort of genius is ridiculously premature. Massive game for him Saturday. After they won at Preston they blew it in the next games. Now the challenge is there for them again, lose Saturday and whatever slight confidence he's gained in the last week is totally gone again.
I personally don't think Rodgers will be here for a great deal longer. He's one bad run away from it being all over. Not a good position to be in.

winchester_royal Rasiak - Proven goalscorer at this level and decent target man.
McAnuff - Proven winger at this level who Rodgers clearly gets the best out of. Premiership class at best.
Howard - Once considered by some to be one of best midfielders outside the Prem. Lovely left foot, passionate, decent on the ball.
Bertrand - Chelsea hope to have him as the successor to Ashley Cole.
All excellent signings, and considerably better than SC's attempts towards the latter part of his reign.

Rasiak - Slow
McAnuff - Inconsistant. When he first started out he was touted as a potential Premier League player. Do you not think there are reasons why this potential has not been realised?
Howard - Overweight.Apart from a decent cup run with Barnsley has never been anything other than an average Championship midfielder. Which is why he failed at Sheffield United last year.
Bertrand - Has potential but did suffer a relegation last year while on loan at Norwich.
The hatred of Coppell from you and certain others is really becoming pathetic. He did make mistakes of course and but they have been nothing compared to some of the current manager.Tommy Smith anyone.

Rasiak
Sheringham was slow didn't do him any harm. Closer to home Kitson was never quick. Didn't do him a lot of harm either. Being slow is no reason for a signing to be poor. Even if they're a winger. Afterall, Little coped ok too.
McAnuff
There's no point hoping for a Premier League player, we need a Championship player that's all. All wingers bar Convey and Little in one season are inconsistent.
Bertrand
I hardly think you can blame Bertrand for Norwich's relegation. I think a little of the responsibility may need to fall on other shoulders besides his. Plenty of players have played for relegated clubs and gone on to better things at the same leel or higher.

No, Russo was always going to sell his best player to someone who had (in his eyes at least) walked out on his Club, and then starts spouting off to all and sundry "I've spoken to Tommy and he wants to play for me" (or words to that effect).
Not a good starting point for our negotiating team.

They had an acceptable value. Hammond was fcuking about for 2 months trying to get them to come down, he failed, we eventually offered the money but we were gazumped by Pompey.
If we'd just offered the bloody money in the first place he'd be here. Russo wouldn't have given 2 shits about what Rodgers said. Money does all the talking these days.
