    Apparently it's official. Should be a crazily good piece of business for them. Can't help feeling a little gutted that we didn't move for him.

    Carr and co must be confident about other targets. Aubameyang. Aubameyang. Aubameyang.

    Do you think we will get all three?

    Would have been good to have a player like van Wolfswinkel in the squad. Hoping we will do more business in the summer along those lines. Just hoping we stay up first.

    Great coup for Chrissy.
    Canary Dave will be very happy.

    He certainly seems to have chirped up a bit.

    canary-dave is indeed very happy, that is a huge statement of intent! I don't suppose we'll manage to keep him for the 4 year duration of his contract, but we should make an excellent profit on him!

    <cheers>

    Guy hasn't moved in yet and already they're talking about moving him on for a profit.

    If van Wolfswinkel had been high up on our priority list, we'd have at least attempted to make a move. I think Bony and Aubameyang are the ones we're targetting

    Just being realistic, if he's as good as we're led to believe, one of the top four will offer silly money for him, or better still, Liverpool!

    Whoever we're targetting, let's hope we get them. If they go elsewhere and we're left scrabbling around it'll be frustrating to have missed out on a decent player like RVW who was available for a decent fee.

    £70m double deal for one player? That is good business even off the Dippers.

    £70m? That's what they'll pay if he has a good full season, £35m for a good 6 months if they go for him in Jan!

    Surely Ricky van Wolfswinkels name doesn't carry enough gallic charm for NUFC.

    You boys could do with him right now. What's the news on Fletcher?

    THeres a bit of scaremongering that he's broken his ankle. There doesn't seem to have been any word on him. Could go either way as to that being good or bad.

    He's still doing Porridge in Slade.

    Norwich clearly have a bit more money floating around than I thought!

    Good signing though.
