January transfer gossip

Pretty much exactly what I said above.

 

Swansea after a class young Italian striker called Alberto Paloschi. Looks like a fee agreed.

 

Townsend to Newcastle now confirmed. I think that's a good signing, again. The fee is too high again. These signings will probably keep them up though. So it's worth it for them.

 

Reports I've read say they'd let Bamford go, but with a buy-back clause insisted upon?
Loan deal for that to apply, by all means, but if you sell some asset or other surely you call no further shots from that moment on?
Will try and find a link and add on here.

That was quick, good old Newsnow

If this is true wonder what's the thinking behind this?

 

F**k me....The board know we can't sign a striker, and we have sold a natural finished.....Oh dear...

Norwich City are set to recall striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel from his loan at Real Betis. #ncfc

There's every chance Real Betis are so impressed they won't let him leave

 

Ricky Stats!:

La Liga - Played 7, scored 0.
Copa Del Rey - Played 3, scored 2
League Cup - Played 1, scored 1
u21 - Played 1, scored 1.

Not impressive. Seems like he's not starting games.

 

Most of me and my head are saying "Oh for F**k sake, we are desperate. Don't recall him, he can't hit a barn door!!"

My Heart is saying: "Imagine if we bought him back, he came off the bench and scored a winner! Then picked up a few goals to give us a point or 3, with his new found confidence. Repaying his fee, helping to keep us up!

I know, it's something out of a movie, but I would have said that if you told me the story of Leicester when they were bottom and adrift. Sometimes, mad things can happen.

 

Bryan Oviedo is on the bench for Everton tonight.

 

Be nice if he stayed there

 

The significantly less retweeted follow up to the Ricky tweet said:

Ricky van Wolfswinkel has suffered from a lack of first team football at Real Betis. Norwich will look to send him on loan elsewhere. #ncfc

I doubt there's a plan for him to come back and lead the line.

 

I'd be very surprised. Also though...who the fudge is going to take him now?! He's failed in his move to us, and in 2 loans. Can't imagine who would take him and pay his wages. It would almost be better off recalling him and hoping for a miracle.

 

The dream of him coming back and banging in 10-15 is awesome. I think it's too far gone now though.

 

He may not want to but I think he will do well for a Championship side, dropping down a level might be just what he needs.

 

....So leave him there on loan, and take him back for next season then!

 

Or send him there now for the practice...

 

Jesus christ on a bike, he can't even get a start with them.......

 

Could go to the Binners ?

 

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
