Surely Bamford would only be a loan signing? I can't see us paying £10mil or indeed Chelsea selling him yet ?
I also don't see him fitting into the current setup, he's not strong enough to play a lone striker role at this level imo & we just don't do 4-4-2 these days and if we do revert then surely that's Naismiths position?
Pretty much exactly what I said above.
 
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.
 
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.

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

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.
