NORWICH City will play host to Panathinaikos in their final warm-up game for the 2013-14 campaign, with the Canaries taking on the Greek giants on Saturday, August 10 at Carrow Road (3pm).
like last season (ajax, parma from memory), we've some decent games arranged - I make that Real sociedad, Braga, Brighton and Panathaniakos plus the 3 games in the US against MLS/mexican opposition.
yep. there'll also be a few norwich city select XI matches against a couple of local teams too as i understand it. not sure when they will be announced
Dan O'Hagan ‏@danohagan 2m Reports in Brazil suggest #ncfc interest in Nigeria left-back Uwa Echiéjilé. Impressed me both games I saw him here. Any news back home?
Just seen there's no mention of Echiejile on the main thread, has that been missed? Was reported somewhere early last week I believe. LB for Nigeria, much more of a wing back than Garrido is which I think would fit our system nicely. If he was cheap, I'd also love us to take a punt on that Musa chap they've got.
Lamah is an 18-month loan, and I don't think he's going to stay because he's not first choice at Swansea. Personally given the chance I'd play hernandez behind Michu so that's them down to 2 main wingers and 1.5 spare wingers. Think Redmond is better or thereabouts than Lamah anyway, and a very similar player.
i think the draw of european football might edge it swansea's way (assuming nobody else comes in) but we aren't out of contention - redmond had high praise for hughton giving his career the kick start so its a difficult one to judge. it really is down to personal preference - there's little to choose between packages or clubs i imagine.
other factors that could swing it for us - he'll know ryan bennett from U21 squads - he knows not only hughton but dave watson from their Brum days - a bigger ground (although swans have plans to extend the liberty) - the fishing is good, ask jonny howson really we are clutching at straws...!
Hull have signed Curtis Davies on a 3 year deal. good signing for them. most probably proof that our interest in him was only in January
With the improvement of turner and R Bennett, I don't feel that he would have added to the options at CB. Rusty can also play there - IMO, I think he's a better player there, as he reads the game so well. I would like to see an FB come in who can play either RB or LB as Whittaker can do.
I would love it if we got Redmond. Easily worth towards £5 million last year and would still cost around the same if Birmingham were not going through financial problems. Swansea have European football next year, but we have Hughton, someone who Redmond holds in very high regard after kickstarting his career for Birmingham. It's a tight one, we'll have to see which way this goes.
I hope the rumours about Echiejile (sic) are true. He's really impressed me during the Confeds. Certainly a lot better than Ambrose on the right - my goodness he is ****!
Now that Hull have signed Curtis Davis and arei in the hunt for Hooper does anyone else want to nip down to the bookies to place money on them going for any of our other January targets? Perhaps they'll try to buy RvW from us on July 1? Can someone leak news to Steve Bruce that we were really interested in signing Titus Bramble, Bosingwa and Kieron Dyer in January?
I saw on Ian Abraham Twitter account earlier that there is a rumour of Holt going to Celtic on loan for a year? Has anyone heard anything or is it just a rumour, I suppose he might be used in exchange for Hooper, I personally wouldn't advise it as I think we will need Holt here even if Hooper came.
