Summer Transfers Mega-Thread

Hardly "news" - we're all aware of our courting of Hooper in January and I guess he remains our number one striking target to partner Ricky.

 

yes, hardly 'news' is it! it's no secret that hughton still wants hooper as his number 1 striking target this summer. mcnally even said back in january that he would be approached again.

 

a "non" story obviously written with no knowledge of the veracity of its content

 

Can I clear something up, guys.
Is this thread NCFC specific or is any juicy transfer news/gossip permissible?

 

Not transfer related, but a rather curious article (?) by Wilbrahamovic.
I scrolled right down, looking for someone to put some 'meat on the bones'...but no joy? Useful piece, this

He always did have too much to say for himself!

 

The Jimmy Kebe rumours continue to gather pace, although it only takes one whisper which then gets recycled a thousand times.

 

kebe wouldn't be a bad squad addition, but he's probably not going to improve the starting 11 is he. also he seems to have a poor injury record.

 

I'm happy to have both, or would people rather have a separate thread, so we've one dedicated to Norwich discussion and one for general transfer chat?

 

As long as you keep up the good work updating the OP with the Norwich rumours I'm not fussed.

 

I leave it to you - or a show of hands, DH, but things appear to be hotting up with talk of Isco joining Citeh, Suarez to Real Madrid - will he, won't he.

And now this:

A couple of links suggested on a Vital Norwich article I spotted on newsnow that I had not heard of:

1. Adam Maher
2. Nacer Chadli

I don't really know anything about either of these guys - does anyone? They look pretty good though!

The article also links us to Ivan Ramis, which I think would be a great signing, although I imagine we'd have to pay through the nose for him and he is a bit injury prone.

 

Off topic, apologies, but it made me laugh

 

I can give a quick summary from transfermarkt:

Maher- 19 year old CAM, who's been an ever present for AZ Alkmaar this season in the Eredivisie, season stats: 47 games, 11 goals, 13 assists. Valued at £5.7m so I doubt he'd be cheap. Ajax and Man City have previously been linked.

Chadli- 23 year old, tall left winger/striker. 10 goals, 5 assists in 22 Eredivisie games for FC Twente, and has also recently made the Belgian National Side. Valued at £7.5m. Seems a little injury prone.

Both sound like very interesting players!

 

Both could be possibilities as they've come up on the Pink'Un messageboard. Maher has been highly rated by a knowledgeable Dutch contributor over there. Similar to Van Ginkel, but even better he says!

Maher is covered in this thread by Cove, could be a little out of our league, but then again you don't know

 

Here we go (again)

 

What? The Ipswich bad boy??

 

You know all talk of Ipswich history is taboo, Dave.
