First interview here: [video=youtube;5n5a3lIR5ug]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n5a3lIR5ug[/video] Strange that it has not been officially confirmed by NCFC, but I think this sounds pretty conclusive!! Awesome signing. Very pleased with how the Fer money has been spent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n5a3lIR5ug
Video's private for some reason? Fantastic deal by the looks of it, how many championship teams sign Europa league players?
Ha! I think they've just hidden this video because it wasn't supposed to be released... EDIT: yes people on twitter saying it's Vadis' media management team who have released the info before it was supposed to. I guess the club were hoping to announce it tomorrow at the match to get a real buzz going?
Welcome Vadis. I wonder how many completely unfunny jokes I'll hear in the stands tomorrow regarding the pronunciation of his name.
Vadis has tweeted: “I am happy to join Norwich City FC. Looking forward to get busy with the team. Thanks to everybody from Norwich FC for the great welcome. Hereby I also want to thank Club Bruges for the last five seasons. I wish them all the best for the future.” Great stuff! (At last).
These last 12 days for the club have been brilliant. Well,played NCFC ...I'm a happier canary this year. So is my better half.
I think this is a real statement signing. We may have lost Fer but in Vadis I think we have someone as good, if not better as he has done it for several seasons on a bigger stage. Obviously Youtube clips don't ever tell the full story but he seems to have a keen eye for goal and a good passing range. Very pleased!
Don't think it was that drawn out. We just don't normally hear about every stage so it feels like it. Actually all seems to have moved very smoothly.
Yes, I thought he interviewed well - it would be great if he shows calm authority on the pitch too! Really excited about this addition to our squad. I wonder if it might give Hoops some food for thought before he commits to QPR or Palace where he might end up playing off scraps again and getting relegated again?
Just found this on YouTube, for any Canary fans who want to know what type of player we are getting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS8xc0lX4_k Looks a great signing, can score some spectacular goals, only wish we'd got him before we played 1p5wich, here's hoping he'll fire a few screamers into the binners net when they come down to Carrow Road in February
completely agree with colk - this is a serious statement of intent from the club. here's a clip of him from a youth match, ironically against england... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8_pwYX_K4o i'm not one for youtube videos in order to gain an appraisal of a player but what they do show you is that he is quick, powerful and both footed. he can sure as hell strike a ball too. an exciting box to box midfielder is something i personally love to see. can't wait to see him (though i expect i will as i doubt we signed him in time for tomorrow)
i really wouldn't worry too much about hooper at the moment. from what i can gather he will be staying. addmitedly anything can happen between now and the 2nd but i was very concerned about him leaving a couple of weeks ago - now i'm not
Excellent piece of business, funny how excited I am about a player that until about 10 days ago I hadn't heard of. Seem we have built an excellent squad for this season, after tomorrow's match we have two weeks to bring players back to fitness our best XI in two weeks could be very hard to choose.
