Don't forget Foxy who started his career at Old Trafford and therefore came with a decent bit of pedigree.

Just reading about Juan Velasco and the name is familar but I have very, very little recollection of him playing for us. Was he one of the Rodents signings? And if so, how on earth did he go on to win 5 caps for Spain? Or is that a Wiki wind-up by somebody because I find it almost impossible to believe someone who wasn't good enough for us in the Championship would have made it to the Euros just a year or so after he left us.

Garrido sounds a good signing by the way, very happy with it if it comes to anything

One of Rodents worst signings. No mean feat. Watched his debut against Coventry and he got subbed in the first half. He was so bad his only competition was Otsemobor he only played 3 games.

No idea about whether the caps are true. But it rings a bell going back to when he signed. You can see the headlines "Norwich swoop for Spanish International"
 
Loan signing for LB is a good choice.

We however need a permanent signing (Bridcutt) for DM and a CB (Martin, Whittaker and E.Bennett can cover the RB slot)...I am not at all comfortable with Turner, R.Bennett and Ward as our only decent CBs (Barnett is not PL class FACT) as injuries always occur and it is naive to think that injuries to 2 simultaneously doesn`t happen.

That said, there is almost guaranteed to be a recall clause attached to Ayala`s loan with Forest surely? He will be playing regularly in the Championship and by January will be ready should we require him to return.
 
Like the comment from a Man City fan," What a nice lad Garrido is, steady, takes a brilliant free kick, unfortunately when we had him, Barton was here and he took all the free kicks, thrown ins corners etc. Javier was be an asset to Norwich, he does lack pace and will never make a wing back, but will give you 100%".

Here at Norwich we excel at giving out-of-favour, hungry, hard-working, ambitious players a 2nd chance :biggrin:
 
This is beginning to look likely. A loan could suit both club and player and certainly solve the LB vacancy. He's said to be a good defender as well as a pacey overlapping wing-back which all sounds good to me. Still another place left for a DMF as well. Hope it happens.

You've forgotten Ayala pretty quickly! Now we have Snodgrass I can't see Pacheco coming back (sadly)

Apologies wasn't thinking about the current squad, Ayala is still ours even though he has gone out on loan, I was thinking about players who are no longer with the City first team on a permanent basis. Even though we have Snodgrass, which I think is a fantastic signing, I believe we need another striker up front as I regard Snodgrass as more of an attacking midfielder than a striker due to the fact many of his roles have been played on the wing and I would like to see another centre forward brought into the club to give Holt a bit more support, as he cannot carry the responsibility of scoring all the goals on his own. If Holt gets injured or suspended who is the best striker to take his place?
