In episode 50 of the Norwich Talk podcast, the lads have taken a look back on Daniel Farke’s four years as City head coach, and decided the most creative way to talk about the man and the amazing job he has done would be to discuss an ‘Ultimate XI’ of all the talent he’s had at his disposal.
Essentially, the XIs will be this year’s title-winning squad + James Maddison, right. Only kidding… well kind of.
They are joined by Seth Ballard (infamously wrong about everything) and Hodgey aka Hodgeythehack. We’ve also collected XIs from some of NCFC’s wisest minds, such as Connor Southwell, The Athletic’s Michael Bailey, Dave Freezer of the Pink Un, Benjamin Bloom and some in-house folk.
Here goes…
Let us know your All-Star Farke XIs…

Thee is the constant chatter around the arrival of Gilmore and how good he is or could be for city in the coming season.
Let’s tone this down slightly and look at historic loans
Edwards from Spurs this was a complete disaster
Roberts from ManC after great loans at Celtic he arrived at city with great hopes to keep city in the premiership but he never got going and other loans haven’t been as good as celtics
Skipps a once in a lifetime loan worked at all levels for the player and both clubs
Gilmore only time will tell how this works out but the media hype is not doing him or city no favors.
Loans like signings are unpredictable and to work both parties need to get along Gilmore might have been pressured to come to city by his club so his heart may not be in it, Farke may find he doesn’t fit into his system so many factors have to come together for a successful loan to work out
