    Sad to see him leave, was a good little player, but another player who never got a chance this season. Any Figures being mentioned?

    Zaha is every bit as frustrating as Redmond if not more so. He always seems to think he can get one more step over in. Both very talented but drive people mad. It could be that the competition does them both good. Not that I want Redmond to go anywhere.

    Watford close in of Mario Saurez?!
    Jesus! Bournemouth get Iturbe....How are these 2 attracting these world class players? That's so depressing.

    Not world class! Just High transfer fees, and wages.

    These are 2 really class signings. (If the Watford one happens.)

    It's like Quintero and N'Koulou...But they actually happen!

    Scored an absolute belter against Tottenham at WHL as well, didn't he?

    This move suits all parties and I wish him all the best.

    Well they are up against Liverpool so may not. It is a bit of a weird one though - I thought Capoue had been their stand out midfielder so far, why they want to spend a small fortune on the same position seems weird, unless they're expecting to sell Capoue already.

    Watford manager managed him at At. Madrid. Plus, they can't exactly get too many world class midfielders. Hopefully Liverpool will get him.

    Agree with most of what's been said. Benno, Pilks, Crofts, David Fox, etc helped NCFC get where it is today - and where, hopefully, it will stay for the foreseeable future <ok>
    I wish the guy every success and thanks, Benno for your time and dedication to the club.

    Sad to see Benno go - my favourite player when he was on the pitch. Never put a foot wrong and unfortunately didn't get a proper run in the team.

    Watford and Palace linked with having talks with Adeybayor, tb wouldn't be a bad signing as he normally plays great for 6 months, then gets a new contratc and is rubbish

    I wouldn't want him. He'd upset the dressing room and the wage structure.

    Don't know if it's been said, but Luke Pennell, 19 year old defender on trial from Dunstable?

    Still on about Ben Godfrey, who I still know very little about.

    Still linked with Andrea Ranocchia, hasn't he moved to that Italian side yet?

    Saido, I think is a crazy rumor. Only thing, I will say is Pulis, hates that sort of attitude. He might want rid of him from the dressing room and training pitch. They don't want to deal with Spurs after the summer. Could see a shock loan deal maybe. Only thing is, I don't think they would want to loan to us, as we could end up battling together at the bottom. There are probably other suitors higher up the league. Also, do we want his attitude at the club. For a half season loan, trying to attract a top 4 club, he might be ok, but would be a risk. Either way, it's a surprising rumor.

    Wolves boss has had to come out to deny a mega move by Derby for Afobe has been made.Hours later it seems Derby have gone out and signed Reading top scorer Nick Blackman. I wonder if that rumor might instigate another attempt from AN.

    Agree. Don't get this mention on the BBC site, where they say it will be the third time he's played under Lambert, after Norwich and Brighton? :emoticon-0112-wonde
    Benno was at Brighton but I don't recall Lambert being there?

    Meanwhile, the Pinto deal edges closer: This morning, Sky Sports Transfer Centre are reporting the following at 10:19hrs:

    'Norwich have agreed a deal to sign Dinamo Zagreb's Portuguese defender Ivo Pinto, according to Sky Sources. We understand the paperwork has not been completed yet - but this one is expected to be finalised imminently.'

    I heard in the Van, on TalkSport, saying we have signed him for a fee in the region of 2.2m.

    I like the guy. Great young player. Us trying for players like him and Nkoulou give me a lot of hope. A year survival in the Premiership, maybe those kind of deals will come off.
