The problem with Hucks.

Its well reported he is by far the highest paid player at the club.

Lets say we want to buy a quality player in the 1-2 million price range in the summer.

The agent is going to want wages equal to or more than the highest paid player at the club.

The above is exactly the reason wages have gone out of control at a lot of clubs.

If we offered Hucks a smaller contract it would seem like a kick in the teeth UNLESS it was back weighted.

Smaller weekly but a huge bonus for promotion to the prem.
Norwich wouldnt mind giving Hucks a huge chunk if they get promoted.

Cant see that happening.

I am thinking GR see the future of this club of first not conceding goals and being difficult to beat.
He is looking for a solid 8 player unit in the middle.
With 1 winger at most away from home.

Lets be honest, so far, its worked perfectly.
The only downside is the strikers have missed too many good chances.
I know we single out Cureton but Dion and Croft have missed some bad ones in the last 12 games.
Thats probably the reason we have scored less goals then virtually every club in the division.
