Transfer goss and rumours, Summer 2016.

Pretty much sums him up for me Cromer and I think in the right set up and with the fight management, he could achieve his potential.
I take your point about him coming from Brum, nut where would you rather live?????
Really hope he doesn't go to Stoke!!!

 

The latest offering from PD on the likelihood of any of our youngsters making the first team squad - http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwic...wich_city_s_young_blood_make_a_mark_1_4585069. He doesn't sound too optimistic and whilst I would love to see the likes of Toffolo given his chance, I'm not convinced it will happen.

 

I hadn't realised that the emergency loan system is being scrapped. I'm still hopeful, but time will tell, I guess.

 

Looks like Aaron Tshibola will be coming to NCFC after all - http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwic...he_race_for_2m_rated_aaron_tshibola_1_4585807. Let's hope we get to see him in the first team squad.

Apologies KIO, as I know you don't want ANOTHER midfielder, but I'm hopeful he'll be competition for Howson.

 

That looks a lot more definite, Braveheart. Good news methinks. Replacement for O'Neil and competition for Howson. While I don't think the young players will start many games, there's hope that they can be integrated through sub appearances over this season.

Edit: Villa could be preparing a counter offer:

With Northern Ireland Keeper Michael McGovern soon to be out of contract at Hamilton (Aex Neil's old hunting ground) and having had a fine performance against the Germans do you think we should have a punt at trying to sign him?

 

Yes

 

I'm sure he'll have offers from a far loftier position than our's, so it will boil down to how well he views AN as a manager!

 

I wouldn't be so sure, he has just been released by a Scottish side. The issue with us whether he would feel he had a chance of being No. 1.

Personally although he's had a great tournament so far I wouldn't be bending over backwards for him.

 

Talking of keepers, my boy pictured with Big John at the Costessey tournament last weekend. Ruddy was brilliant, even after we beat the side with his son in 2-1. Wouldn't want to take a right hook from him.

 

So I see Vardy has decided to stay at LCFC after all. Well done!!!

So pleased For LCFC, and well done to him. I am sure he is being well rewarded.

 

Really really refreshing to see. I think it's a great story.

 

I could kind of see it myself. If there is indeed Premier League interest, it's not going to be as a first choice keeper. Ruddy's position isn't secure, and McGovern may feel he can displace him. Rudd can then move on and hopefully start his career properly.

His wages would certainly not be exorbitant, and the Alex Neil connection may well give us an edge. He's hardly a young keeper who could blossom into something incredible, but he's free and could still have ten years in him. Given that we're working on a tight budget there aren't going to be many stronger options.

 

No.

This is what we do every season/every couple of seasons. We always have to sign some old knacker of a keeper, that could be 2nd or 3rd choice and not make a fuss!

We have never ever needed that! We keep paying wages for Keepers we all know we will never ever play! I want us to use the money we waste on these signing to buy or pay for wages on the striker or CB we have needed for the last 8 years.

 

How'd they get him for that price!?! That's nothing for him!

Nothing to add to this -http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/striker_hunt_must_be_norwich_city_s_priority_1_4590460

 

Cureton looking for a new challenge?

 

Redmond is supposedly set for a Saints medical today, prior to an £11m move. Tshibola story seems to have gone cold, but maybe being kept under wraps.

 

I hope there's no truth in this Olsson to Besiktas rumour?
