Six players effectively told to find new clubs

Lambert confirmed yesterday his Premier League pre-season planning does not include the senior professionals omitted from the club?s overseas tour. Owain Tudur Jones, Cody McDonald, Oli Johnson, Steven Smith, Stephen Hughes and Anthony McNamee were also notable absentees from last week?s Norwich XI games at Wroxham and Histon.

?It?s entirely up to the lads,? said Lambert. ?Their agents are working for them to go and do something. I think a few of them have had chances to go but they?ve not taken it, so they?re still here. The lads know. I sat down and spoke to them towards the end of last season.

Probably the best part of ?20k per week in that lot ffs.
