And the focus on that will be of less use if we go down - it could happen. The academy is not currently strengthening the first team squad. Strengthening the team should be the current focus.

Uphill Bedford 10 Jan 23 3.50pm
I have said repeatedly, but not everybody agrees, that we need a creative midfielder (and by the bye, so do England!) The problem is this very rare breed seems almost extinct and I wonder if Freedman is investigating in Europe or the lower leagues? The stats say we are low goal scorers and the cry goes up for a new striker but what is the point if there is no service? I am sure, that given creativity from midfield, Edouard would show his ability as he has ball skills. Not sure about Mateta as he is more of a (not very successful) hustler. I say forget Gallagher and comb the world for a budding Pirlo and we will start scoring. Fix that then concentrate on the defence!

Someone with a bit of bite. We've got no steel. Players like Eze and Olise are eze (sorry) on the eye, but you wouldn't want them in the trenches with you. Who are the leaders out there?

No money for signings either,probably means the excitement of Championship football next season. Such complacency and disarray at the top.

I'd see if we could pick up Houssem Aouar for next to nothing. bags of ability, and needs a fresh start.

theorist 11 Jan 23 12.48am
Buy Aouar. 6 month loan swap: Dembele/Olise. Work the hell out of Textor for Aouar pricing and Dembele access. To me, out of form Aouar is £5M. Showcase Olise in League 1 (in front of PSG), a less physical league demands less of a defensive onus for his position. In other words, give him the opportunity to seed his offensive confidence before next season while simultaneously ratcheting up his transfer value in front of his suitors. Dembele, second currently to Lacazette, needs full-time play, else rust sets in. We need a proven striker. Simple logic? And finally, Textor owes us a solid for all of this Lyon consternation (?constipation?).

i will throw a name out there, Todd Cantwell ,box to box midfielder ,similar player to Gallagher and looks like Norwich are willing to listen to offers around 10 million . He was thought to be the next cab on the rank a couple of years ago and is still only 24

Also, when I've seen him looks very lightweight to me. I think we need someone like Gallagher in the middle, along with one other who likes to get stuck in.

I think we need someone like Gallagher in the middle, along with one other who likes to get stuck in. I have a colleague at work who I certainly consider to be someone worth listening to but also a Norwich season ticket holder. He once told me about a James Maddison and said he was going to be a top player. When Cantwell first popped up I did enquire and he was hesitant to comment really. Has since often echoed your 'lightweight' remark and reckons he turns up occasionally, or in moments, but there's a reason he's not playing every minute of every game. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
