TalkSPORT’s Darren Lewis and Russ Williams have made a brutal claim over Norwich City’s summer transfer window.

The Mirror’s Lewis and Williams believe that Norwich City’s lack of spending in the transfer window showed a ‘defeatist’ attitude.

The Canaries have only spent £3.75m (per Transfermarkt) in the summer window so far, and with only a week and a half left Daniel Farke has seemingly ruled out a late splurge.

Lewis and William’s were appearing on talkSPORT’s show ‘Saturday scoreboard’ and they seemed far from pleased by the Norfolk club’s transfer activity.

“Surely, all of the effort of last season, all of the work that’s gone into backing Farke to rebuild the squad to get back up, I have to say, I am fascinated by what I see as quite a defeatist attitude.”

“Surely, you should be saying ‘let’s get some quality, we’ve worked so hard to the top of this mountain, let’s see if we can get the quality to be able to stay there,” said Lewis.

“It’s like a boxer, taking on the big fight, agreeing to it, knowing they’re going to get their share of the purse and then turning up for their ring walk and thinking ‘I’ve got no chance here, I’m going to lose’. One man’s realism is another man’s defeatism” said Williams. (Source: talkSPORT)

It could be argued that Williams and Lewis are right in their assessment of the club’s current situation. While splashing the cash, like Fulham did last season, won’t necessarily translate to safety, Norwich City still require players of a certain quality.

Huddersfield Town, in their second season in the Premier League, can be seen as a side who lacked quality and suffered as a result.

The Terriers spent no money on a centre-forward in the 2018 summer transfer window, despite the fact, their main two Steve Mounie and Laurent Depoitre scored just 13 goals between themselves in the 2017/2018 season.

The end result was Huddersfield’s inevitable (described as such by Match of the Day pundit Martin Keown as early as March last season) relegation as they scored just 22 goals last season. This shows that if your squad need an injection of quality, it’s very hard to stay up.

Right now, their lack of spending is a source of concern.
