Well, it had to happen. Norwich City's continuing good fortunes are making lower division clubs greedy when Paul Lambert goes shopping for players.
As with Brighton and WHOve Albion and Elliot Bennett. He is going nowhere, their chairman insists, and nobody else is, either.
That is a sure indication that Bennet's value has multiplied by a good number over and above what he is actually worth.
Current rumour have it that a deal is being struck for a player plus cash deal where Anthony McNamee moves back to Division One, albeit Brighton presently lead the table.
It is a sad reflection on football nowadays where money, or the lack of it, is equal to success or the lack thereof. Norwich City's last, extremely brief stay in the Premier League highlights the gulf between those that are prepared to spen a few bob and those that just don't have it.
If there is anything to the rumour of a player plus cash, then expect news in the next day or so. Paul Lambert has already demonstarted that, once he makes his mind up about a player, it isn't long until that player is up at Colney, training with the rest of the squad.
If a deal can be struck, of course.
