Pass me the razor blades!

If previous summers are anything to go by the Canaries won't be unveiling any new players until late June at the very earliest but Worthington hopes a lack of announcements won't be interpreted as a lack of action by the club's fans.

?It's a time when a lot of people in football are taking their holidays, myself included, but there is still a lot of work going on behind the scenes,? he explained. ?We have identified a number of players who would strengthen our squad and it's a case of putting in the phone calls and seeing what the situation is. It's question of adding everything up - the transfer fees, the salaries, whether clubs are prepared to let certain people go out on loan, and such-like - and then seeing if something can be sorted out.

?These things take time and, as I said, it's case of everyone being patient. You never say never in football so I wouldn't rule out the possibility of something happening soon. But I should imagine it will be a little while yet before we are in position to announce any new arrivals.?

I still get the impression we just put a call in and then wait by the phone for soemone to call us back whilst everyone else merrily goes about snapping up players. Well here's news for you Nigel - we don't have any patience this summer and if you don't get the players in by the time pre-season starts you can expect a very rocky ride again!
