But not where we spend money

And because we are forced to have some homegrown players.

Doyle is a loan, and the other three are fringe players, or ones that only work with much better players. Slimane did come from Sheff Utd but has very little experience of the league.

Farkes band of foreigners was a wonderful one off, that just worked. But a one off.

Duffy and Kenny will be too old soon. With the money we have you can't build a team from foreign youngsters who need time to get but to speed, have no knowledge of the league, and for whom Norwich is a short term stepping stone to something better. You can have a few of those, but not a team. You need a team with a Hanley, a Kenny, a Hooligan, a Martin, a Drury, a Holt etc who want to play for Norwich and for whom it really means something.

Without those types of players, with the quality we can afford, it won't work, or it's very unlikely to work.
