    Anthony Pilkington's future

    He's got to stay, Pilks is our only winger who offers everything, decent crosser with both feet, fairly clinical infront of goal, can head the ball and also has a decent eye for a pass. If it's in the clubs hands I'd definitely keep him. No doubt. Whilst I don't think he's the solution...

    The sack race.

    The relative lack of decent replacements makes me wonder whether the best solution, if a change is made, would be to appoint a strong assistant manager in to work alongside Hoots and provide the 'motivation' element. I genuinely think Hughton has made some very astute signings and assembled a...

    Summer Transfers Mega-Thread

    The BBC gossip column are today reporting (through the Daily Mail) that we are competing with Everton to sign Arouna Kone from Wigan as apparently he has a 5 mil get out clause. Can't really see it myself but I think he'd definitely add something to the squad, unlikely to have much of a sell on...

    Best Loan Players

    Maceo Rigters. His career seems to have fallen off a cliff given the hype surrounding him when we signed him

    Becchio

    I think it's fairly clear that Hughton bought him as a fall back plan should Holt get injured. From what I've seen of Becchio he seems to have very similar attributes to Holt and so I can only assume his role is to take on Holts mantle should he get injured.

    Dani Ayala

    Obviously times at Forest have been a bit of a roller coaster this season, but has anyone watched many games, if so what's the consensus with how Dani Ayala's getting on? Prior to his injury last year I was pretty impressed and had thought he would likely be our third best CB this season...

    not606 Official Norwich City Transfer Rumour Thread - January Window 2013

    I've just seen the interest in Kei Kamara reported on the sky sports site - don't know anything about him, he has got wonderful little beard though.

    not606 Official Norwich City Transfer Rumour Thread - January Window 2013

    I suspect that maybe all the rumour milling surrounding Hooper may be a deliberate smoke screen from the club to cover up the signature of someone else completely under the radar

    Crofts returns to Brighton

    Seems like a decent deal for both clubs and player - thanks for the memories Crofty

    Joseph Yobo

    I'd be fairly happy with Yobo, whilst I think we could do a lot better (Davies) I still think Yobo would be a good addition to the squad. He's very consistent, composed and athletic, and unless he's completely lost his pace in his time at Fenerbache I think he could do a job for us and provide...

    Holt joining West Ham

    Whilst I agree that ideally we need to get shot of Holt asap, I also think that the longer this takes, the harder McNally is screwing the potential buyer for every last possible penny. I get the impression this whole episode seems to have left McNally with a sour taste in his mouth, and I have...

    Holt joining West Ham

    Considering that Hughton doesn't appear to have yet returned from holiday this seems like a strange move, but given the build up its not entirely unexpected. I just hope that firstly we've secured a decent fee, and secondly that we've at least got half way to lining up a replacement.

    West Ham increase offer for Holt.

    I can't see McNally accepting any less than 5 mil, bare minimum. If no one comes in with an offer above that then Grant stays a Norwich player,regardless of whether he's happy working with Colin Calderwood or not.

    Euro 2012 - Potential for rich transfer pickings?

    One of the main issues is that as soon as players put in a good performance in the Euros they suddenly put themselves in the spotlight and onto a lot of clubs radars, meaning that clubs usually drastically overpay for any solid performer. It's a great situation for the players but my personal...

    I'm a newbie! With the recent management changes and continuance of Grant Holt-Gate, I decided it was time to come out of the shadows. Look forward to enjoying some banter with you all.
