has anyone considered the possibility toivonen might be waiting to see if we can pull off a couple of these 'big' signings before committing to us? not impossible we told him of our ambitious transfer plans and he's said he'll wait and see how that pans out before signing? just a thought my head dreamed up this morning, no evidence for it <ok>

The only problem with that Supers is that the others may be waiting for HIM to sign! <yikes>
 
Interesting reading the comments from Toby's dad I thought, that a lot of this interest in NCFC has been triggered by our signing the Wolf and the signals that is sending out about our ambition. It also seems like Hughton, McNally et al are making a big impression on these European players. All very encouraging and further evidence of what a great deal signing the Wolf was.
 
The spine of our team is shaping up to look very different next season, should these deals come off: Ruddy-Bassong-Johnson-Hoolahan-Holt to Ruddy-Alderweireld-Fer-Toivonen-Wolfy.
 
i think there is still a lot of water to pass under the bridge on Fer and Alderweirald. the club plays it's cards very close to it's chest as we know. others will be interested in alderweirald especially, Liverpool were linked with him for example (need to replace carragher).
Olssen sounds like a matter of time
 
Olsson was at the club last night, seen by a very reliable Head Steward mate of mine who was there in a meeting about this seasons games and improvements.

Here is a transcript of the article - translated by google from Dutch to (extremely) pigeon-English <yikes>

Norwich City wants to make serious work of Leroy Fer. The Canaries have five million offer for the midfielder of FC Twente, reports the Daily Mail.
Fer still hopes to transfer to the Premier League. The 23-year-old midfielder in January saw a transfer to Everton ricochet and this summer will still make the move to England.
FC Twente does not seem to accept a bid of five million. The names Twente Fer two years ago for the same amount of Feyenoord. In addition, the one-year contract Fer an option for another year, which would invalidate the midfielder can be fixed. Until mid 2015 Tuesday there was mention of an amount of 8.5 million euros.
Ricky van Wolfswinkel already made &#8203;&#8203;the move to Norwich City, which also wants to strengthen Toby Alderweireld from Ajax and PSV striker Ola Toivonen.
Update: According to FC Twente-watcher Fardau Wagenaar Fer in Norwich, where he is medically approved and a contract for five years can draw at this time.

So, there are suggestions from Enschede that Leroy Fer is in Norwich for a medical, with a 5yr deal on the table. #ncfc #pinkun

That sounds quite close then, the Toby Alderweireld transfer seems a way off yet and I can see that other clubs might beat us to it. With the positive noises his dad has been making I wonder if that is just deisgned to try and get offers from other clubs?
 
Sorry, one more tweet then it's the opening session of the Ashes foe me <ok>
But it's a good one - and fairly official!

Worth adding the fact Martin Olsson was in Norwich having his medical yesterday, we understand. So could be an interesting few days. #ncfc

In an ideal world, maybe, but not every single target the manager has will come off, so don't take every word David McNally says too literally.
He's doing the best he can, but some of these targets set their sights much higher than NCFC - deluded bastards <laugh>

we might have olsson he was there last night so thats a start. who do u want the strikers to be. sounds like fer is having medical thats what dutch news says. we can hope
 
I would be quite happy with Fer, Olsson, Alderweireld and Hooper. I'd like Toivonen for the full set but if not I think we have enough with Hooper, RVW and Becchio although 4 would be more comfortable.

I am more interested to see if anyone else will be leaving if we sign these players. Any ideas anyone? Thinking of the Midfield, if we get Fer and Toivonen then are we heavy on numbers? We would also have Fox, Tettey, Johnson, Howson Hoolhan who play centrally....

exactly. with Holty gone we must be on something like 23 players over 21. If we are getting 3 or 4 more in then either a couple will be sold, or alternatively left out of the squad (not ideal as we are still paying them)

EDIT - my mistake, referring back to cardinal canary's thread of a couple of days ago, sitrep, we are on 21 after holt's departure. a bit of bandwidth.

surman is still on the list i don't see butterfield playing that much not even fox.
 
I left Surman out as I saw him as left sided however if Olsson can play LM and so can Redmond it might be hard for Surman to get back playing. Obviously Hughton isnt a fan of Fox and I have never seen the attraction with Butterfield although I know others do.

If we sold all three of these players then again that would off set the fees we are about to pay and I would think Surman and Fox are reasonable earners to. I think thats the natural sort of progression that would show we are doing things the right way.
