    Those figures are way off. After signing van Dijk, Balde and Boerrigter Lennon said we'd spent '5 or 6M so far'. Boerrigter only cost 2M euros (£1.76M) and Lennon said in an interview Balde was 1.3/1.4M.

    Im sure lennon would have liked more players and more money to spend,wouldn't we all.
    But to claim he was not backed is wrong.
    Not may clubs have had the player movement we have this summer.
    Plus the two signings we missed out on because of the early window closing.

    Aye, i thought he'd been signed up by somebody, but he's still available.
    Never really settled to life at Carrow Road. Very skillful player though.

    There's still a wee bit of quality out there, not much but 2 or 3 players.

    And, and we've probably got to pay out about £4m on Hooper's 20% sell on fee to Scunthorpe, and whatever clubs manage to claim compensation for Wanyama's football education.

    Disappointed we didn`t sign a creative midfielder which we quite obviously need imo. Far too much pressure on Commons to be the creative influence every game

    I can never get my head round transfer windows, especially the final day.

    We have the entire window to attempt to bring in players, yet we hear the manager saying on the final day that he wants another 2 players in on top of what he has already signed. Why wait til the final day? Gambling? We were told after the Fletcher carry on that the club would never gamble like that again.

    Whether or not we are happy with what we have, the manager obviously isn't. This happens all too often for my liking.

    I find it an absolute embarrassment that in our current financial situation, we were scrambling to get a player in from Peterborough, and failed.

    I for one am happy with the transfer business done this summer. My only real gripe is losing Wilson for £2.5m

    Looking at what we signed, I'm pretty happy. Could use a striker as mentioned, but I think we did decent.
