    Great news, if True about Dijks. He's a decent player. More of a defender, than a wing-back. If we held on to Brady. We would have a solid, exciting left side.

    Howson is PL quality, BJ isn't. As for the second giant screen, that's so that JM can still watch the matches from outside the ground! ;)

    It'd have to rotate in sync and JM would have to sidle left and right accordingly! :emoticon-0100-smile

    Wish we would go for a player like him.

    Well hate to break it to you but we aren't in the Premier league so I wouldn't be surprised if all our Premier league quality players Brady Klose maybe Naismith & Howson may attract attention from bottom 6 sides .

    Well Dijks can certainly do both of the first two and he's a dab hand at clearing off the line if that helps. Taylor tends to concentrate on creating goal line action at the other end, as does Wildshut. If those 3 replaced Brady and Olsson, I'd be well pleased.

    I'm not panicking, we've seen our club fail horribly in most windows, it's the Norwich way. I was merely speculating how we might cock it up this time.
    I don mind getting the Dijk in on loan, As long as he still goes in hard at 90% he'll cum good!

    Bah!

    I think the 90% related to whether a permanent move is in his long-term interest. His agent has confirmed that he's coming here on loan, with Dutch papers suggesting that he might join on a permanent if we gain promotion. That seems fair enough to me and I think we'll get all 100% once he's playing. Replacing 28 year-old Olsson with 23 year old Dijks helps to bring the average age down and I'd guess there's a large saving in wages as well.

    Wigan are playing hardball with Wildshut, so that may or may not happen, but Dijks on loan means there's more money available elsewhere. Wait and see on that one.

    90% is still twice as good as half our players seem to give.

    It's all shaping up nicely to announce the signing just before the deadline of a 17 year old trialist from Macclesfied for £75k.
