re: Maddison, Hoolahan, Gunn and Murphy...

In that four, you've got the two most creative players in a Norwich shirt in the last 20 years, maybe since Crook, maybe even since before Crook, and the best goalkeeper we've had since early Ruddy.

We also lost Pritchard mid season as well, don't forget.

Oh, and Murphy. I loved the idea of the Murphs, club developed and all that, but I think getting 25m for the two of them was absolutely fantastic business.

Was definitely useful, especially with his pace, but 1) he rarely used that pace with the ball at his feet and 2) when we tried to use his pace on the counter, too often he would have a nosebleed near the penalty area and lose the chance due to indecision. If his brain ever catches up with his feet he'll be a really good footballer.

So yeah, I think Madders, Wes, Gunn and Pritchard were big losses. Not so certain about Murphy. I think I like Hernandez and Pukki more.
