    McLean scored one and set one up I think - he seems to have become a pretty key player for Norwich now he's back to full fitness. He's the kind of player who could make the step up to EPL, has the attributes. The problem is if they get promoted they'll get about 5 zillion pounds and will start buying in 40 million pound players to replace the guys who have got them up.
    Norwich are not the kind of club that will speculate to accumulate and then watch it go t1ts up, like Fulham did.
    They're more like a Burnley, who'll stick with the bulk of the squad that got them up.

    • Didn’t realise Arild Stavrum used to play with Solskjaer.

      A former team-mate, coach and club chairman tell the story of how Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's career began.

      • it's a pity that Ole Gunnar never taught Arild the offside rule.

        I never felt a Dons game had started until Stavrum had been flagged offside.

          Deary me - Arild looks like someone who failed an audition to join A-ha in that photo.

          The 80's have a lot to answer for...

            Surely the most offside player in the history of the game?

            Abysmally poor positional sense for such an otherwise apparently intelligent human.

              Aye, I recall a bit in the paper when Stav was here.
              I always remember thinking that Stav was made to play in a front two.

              He'd make a near post run, the ball's played in the back.....vice-versa.
              But Ebbe liked the lone striker thing.

              Plus ca change plus c'est la meme chose.

                So looks like Ebbe had something in common with our current coach then

                  Ebbe reckoned Dazzler would be Aberdeens answer to Michael Owen.
                  He was spot on.
                  Very similar in height.

                    I would pick Stavrum over any of our current strikers.

                      I preferred Ebbe to Del. Ebbe was a character, Del is not.

                        Haha come on, we were utterly hopeless under Ebbe! He was good fun, but we were dismal. Del might not be all that exciting, but I'd rather have him every day of the week. It would be good to maybe tap into some foreign markets again though as we did back in the Ebbe era.

                              I did like Skovdhal when he was in charge but looking back now he was a terrible manager for us.

                              He said that getting beat 2-0 at Parkhead was a good result.

                              We got destroyed at home 1-6 by Livingston when they were in the league below us.

                              We got knocked out of Europe by a part time Irish team.

                              The last 2 in particular would be deemed as a sackable offence if McInnes was in charge, this place would be in meltdown calling for his head on a spike.
