Transfer goss and rumours, Summer 2016.

Three of our matches this month are at home and as you say RER, we should be beating the likes of Cardiff or at least competing toe to toe to give the fans something to cheer and hopefully some of our injured players should be making a comeback during the month and so increase the 'selection headache' for AN.

 

According to MB, it was Naismith's agent trying to engineer a late move to Sunderland,
not the player himself.

1, I'm surprised so many ppl thought Naismith was the 1 forcing move
out of #ncfc yesterday. Never felt like that to me (& wasn't like that)

 

It's too easy to make assumptions about what is going on behind the scenes. How much is agent speak in these transactions, how much is jounos just making stuff up.

 

Which is where a few words from the manager or CEO would be priceless, explaining the state of play, reasoning behind decisions, etc, so that the twitterati et al ease back on the hysteria from time to time - and even if they persist, if fans have the official take on things, it prevents the said hysteria from becoming an epidemic!

 

Agree Cromer.

Old Jez could have made a statement couldn't he - Davie Mac was always reasonably vocal during the window but Mr Moxey seems to be the polar opposite.

 

I'm not a betting person and don't fully get the betting business, but this probably has more to do with how much was bet on Norwich at 9 - 1 and how the betting companies like to hedge there bets.

 

True Canario. What it indicates is where people are betting. Why aren't people in Brum betting on Villa? They're supposed to have had a much better window than we had and are a bigger club and all that. Curious.

 

Who ?

 

BBC Radio Norfolk ‏@BBCNorfolk
Our interview between #ncfc chief executive Jez "Who" Moxey and @CGoreham will be available to listen to here from 4pm. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p046mq85…

 

Nice one Cromer, thanks mate.

Really interested to hear this. I'm guessing there will be a lot of waffle, I hope some really blunt questions were asked.

 

Still don't know how I feel about him. Looked so awful for Arsenal and Palace. Might be a different prospect in the Championship. He's 6'2, and alright in the air. But he's not a finisher, and that's what we are missing. It's why I was so gutted to not get Rhodes, because he's the opposite. He is purely a finisher.

 

Nothing on radio Norfolk at the mo, these "highlights" make me wonder if he's more of a Doncaster than a McNally?

Don't know how much longer I can listen to daytime local radio. It's really hard work.

 

Ooooh, here's a bit.

Something along the lines of "Working on 2 or 3 going out, and 1 or 2 to come in, but as those players going out fell through, so then so did the ones coming in"


.....We didn't need to sell before we bought. We about broke even on transfers, There's no way there wasn't money in the pot to bring in at least 1 player!!?

 

Presenter just said "later". God knows when the interview would be then.....That's it for me, I'll have to track down the audio another time. The music is terrible...

 

Just seen the Peterborough highlights. Toffolo set up 2 goals from LB didn't he?

Didn't someone on here say he didn't cover himself in glory in that game so has been shipped out? He looked involved in a lot of the build up play.

 

Twas I FML. What I said was that defensively he wasn't on it - got caught in possession a few times, his positioning was a bit off on occasions, some wayward passing and looked vulnerable a coupe of times when directly attacked by their wingers. Going forward he was a different story - got into some great positions, good crosses, good link-up play and made two goals. To me, he looks more a successor to Brady rather than Olsson, but that is only my view.

Not sure what it is with our full-backs - they all look better attacking than they do defending.!!!

 

Ah, I see. Was he who gave the Pen away at the end? In quick play it was hard to tell the difference between players, there was a few with 20 something on their backs, and similar haircuts.

 

No - that was Godfrey who gave away the pen. Godfrey, after a shaky start, was excellent and looked comfortable defending and going forward.

 

Love what I have seen from him so far.

...Apart from then Pen.

When is the next point in which we can loan him out?!
