    Another kid to sit in the reserves and get loaned out to league 1 clubs.
    I really want him. He looks like he'd fit the Premiership.

    The article I just read says "the signing of Haller will complete a busy window for the club"!
    1) Not busy
    2) I hope this doesn't complete it!
    3) They say Timm Klose is still a target. So not Complete then?

    Haha. I just watched a Youtube video on Haller. Saying "Goal Machine" It took ages to show a goal, and then it was a penalty! Most of the video is misses! He does look like he will be a pain in the a*se for defenders. Lanky, strong, holds up the ball, good touch, looks determined.

    Yeh I watched that and thought the same ! Most of his goals came from the spot, looks a bit like a young Anelka I thought? Can't be any worse than Grabban that's for sure !

    Mixed - looks raw and there are a few shanks and glaring misses in with the quality, so I suspect he still has lots to learn. But there are some great touches and interplay too which I think is actually almost more important now in a modern lone striker.

    What I can't understand is why they flip the video view so everything is backwards - check out all the numbers in their backs. I thought from the video he was left footed or double footed but actually I think he must be right footed.

    Still, let's not get our hopes up until confirmed...!

    I think it's a crude way of avoiding copyright claims, as its harder to identify footage as the original.

    Suspect if Godfrey is sorted, it won't be announced until we've got a first team signing to appease the masses with.

    Aside from a couple of good goals and some missed chances, this video shows the lads vision and innovation. He sets up one or two great opportunities for others here. The last goal is a great assist. Looks like he could make a very good player. Looks confident and determined!

    Just had a thought - If he grew a stoopid goatee beard, he'd even look like Grabban
    That should help him blend seamlessly into his new surroundings quite quickly? :emoticon-0112-wonde

    At the risk of being a harbinger of doom:-
    Chris Goreham ‏@CGoreham
    Alex Neil says nothing to report on Haller or Naismith.
    Confirms deal for Ben Godfrey is at 'advanced stage'. #ncfc
    Bethnal Y and G ‏@BethnalYG
    AN and Utrecht both saying nothing in the Haller to Norwich rumour.
    The Mirror wouldn't be making stuff up would they? :emoticon-0106-cryin

    But, the flip side of the coin:-
    Norwich reach €8.5m agreement for Sébastien Haller
    According to our colleagues at RMC, Premier League side Norwich have reached a fee agreement with Dutch side Utrecht for the transfer of highly-rated young French striker Sébastien Haller.
    The player must now agree personal terms and undergo a medical in order to complete the move, but a deal looks close at the time of writing.

    I wouldn't mind betting that move was worked out in training and Snodgrass was supposed to be there but wasn't just to make RvW look bad!

    Alex Neil has told me he's 'optimistic' about this transfer window for #ncfc.
    Says it's going better than the last window. @BBCNorfolk

    {which was basically Brady in - eventually, and Jarvis and Wisdom on loans!}

    Couldn't be much worse though, could it Cromer?

    Yes but is it the clubs fault?

    If were trying to sign players and they won't come what are we supposed to do?

    You misunderstand Kemp, my gripe is with James Nursey who should get his fecking facts straight before getting fans hopes up
