Having finished my toast I'll translate some of the main points. He's 28, one year left on contract, price equates to about 2.5 million GBP. No comment from Olsson but his agent has confirmed that bids have been made (without confirming the club involved), that his player wants to compete for...

Apologies if I've already missed a post on this but there are reports here that Olsson is off to Fenerbahce. http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/internationell/england/article23144909.ab

Sad to think Klose has almost certainly played his last game in a Norwich shirt.

Some good performances but I agree Gary O'Neil was absolutely immense today. Perhaps his best performance in a yellow shirt and the same can be said for Klose. Olsson much improved thank goodness, Dorrans dreadful. I fear Jarvis may become one of those players who never looked quite as good...

I was about to suggest that Jon Newsome was definitely worth a mention and then I saw that Jedi wisely got there first. Clearly others had better careers after Norwich but, based purely on the games I saw them play in a Norwich shirt, I really rated Newsome as much as Bruce or Watson, and I...

I thought I was pretty clear that I don't accept he would be playing regularly, and of course Jarvis is competition, as is Brady and Mulumbu. They don't have to be like-for-like to be increasing competition. The whole post was basically "new options arriving = dropping down the pecking order...

Sorry. Sorted it now. Not entirely sure how I did that myself but clearly it takes a special kind of skill.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but these two statements don't seem to me to be in any way contradictory? Grabban's bid didn't reflect the value AN put on him. Bradley's did.

The only position that BJ has any chance of being second choice for is on the left side of central midfield. He has already been second choice for that position in recent games but we've got new midfield options arriving. My guess is that one of Brady or Jarvis will be utilised instead to give...

Yes, a 25 man squad contains more than 2 per position. Many positions will have further cover but is it sensible for that further cover to be worth £6m? Of course we'll need more than two options for when injuries kick in, and we have them. Brady, Jarvis, Dorrans, Howson, Olsson are all...

Its not that those people don't recognise the need for more than 14 players. Its just that Bradley was unlikely to be one of the first 2 choices for any position on the field. That we had a £6m player in that situation is actually a very positive reflection on the strength and depth of our...

Clearly he wasn't going to be an integral cog. We've got injuries and he's only on the subs bench. With Mulumbu, Olsson and Jarvis available, he probably wouldn't get playing time even as a sub. He knew that and it suited both club and player for him to move. Definitely the most unexpected...

6 of the 15 are only on loan and every one of the other 9 would have had a question mark over how much they would contribute this season, including Johnson.

Clearly BJ wasn't sold against his will. In fact it looks like he initiated it... “As soon as Derby showed interest in me, I sat down with my family, spoke about it and said it was an opportunity that might not come around again. “I spoke to Norwich as well and it was something that they was...

I think it's widely accepted that Hooper isn't the guy to play on his own up front. Enough people have said it for me to think that that can't be changed. He is a classy player though so it's a shame we can't accommodate him. I also wonder how many times this year we will be chasing a game...
