The game is reflecting real life at Norwich for me and its SAD I know, but its frustrating and I went to bed last night feeling mightily pissed off with Munby!
After a season of mid table consolidation and building up a decent squad, we are currently, New Year 2009, four points top of the table. Hucks is playing out of his skin, Charles Andre-Doudin and Frasier Campbell scoring left, right and centre, Steve Gritt impressing as Assistant Manager, Jonathan Douglas an inspired signing from Leeds and playing well alongside the must-buy (at all costs!) Kasper Hammaleinen.
However, Brellier's contract is up. I know, I know, but he's s**t hot at FM2008, average of 7.14. Decides to bugger off and sign for Athletico Madrid on a Bosman. Fine, he can f**k off to the reserves then. He's not happy at not playing-do I care!?
Vito Ganea signs, Romania U-21, CLASS! Ousts Campbell, 14 goals in 10 games, average a little under 8. Bargain at £750k, signs 5 year deal, silly minimum release clause (something like £15 Million and "Is Happy Playing For The Club), Prem here we come, I can cope with Brellier doing the Bosman on me...
...then, without warning, Munby accepts "for the good of the club" a £2.5 Million offer for Ganea from Sheffield United-and he's gone!!
Am I PISSED or what! And this is a game, but, suddenly, I feel for the German lad on You Tube smashing up his keyboard....
Well, now the floodgates have opened. Hello, selling club here! Fulham want Fanchone, my French U-21 right back, Man City want David Marshall, Spillane is off, Hucks is attracting Everton, Leicester want to know "how much I want" for Jonathan Douglas- bids are coming in for others, do they want promotion or a nice set of club offices....?
I tell ya, if they sell Kasper from under me, I'm gone!!
Someone knew about Norwich City when they wrote this latest version! Bloody game!!!
