Norwich City midfielder Dickson Etuhu has been linked with a move to Premiership new boys Sunderland.
Team-mate Darren Huckerby spoke of his disappointment at the prospect of City losing Etuhu.
"We can't afford to keep losing our best players," he said. "Dickson looks like he is going somewhere else, Saff maybe, we have already lost Earnie - for a team that you would say struggled a little bit last season, to lose three of your best players, you can only go on like for that for so long."
