Crnac and Jurasek are the two costly duds

I still think Crnac could come good with Clement magic.
Jurasek needs to be sold for as much as we can get, he isn’t a good fit for Norwich.
Knapper’s sweet spot for transfers seems to be the £1-4m bracket, think of what £15.5m could buy in this range next summer.
