I like the way Norwich conduct their transfer affairs, often good signings even if not headline making splashes, done sensibly, minimum of fuss. If they sign these two without a media circus first, then I'm envious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me they have the best transfer window so far in PL if you look at it from what the team needs and the expectations on the team. Clever signings so far and if those two also come it´s bloody good work from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted 9 July, 2013 Share Posted 9 July, 2013 Looks like they could be getting Leroy Fer and Toby Alderweireld too, think they might have a good season. If they do Norwich will have had a good transfer window so far. All they need now is another striker - Hooper probably - and they will have had a great summer. Swansea look to be having the same. So far I'm a little bit disappointed with Saints this summer - same crap sponsor, bad expensive home kit, and a lack of signings. Can't say that the possible signing of Wanyama is exactly wowing me either. Banega would do i think though - and Naingollan probably too. Signing Damiao would probably mean I'd need to go for a lie down in a darkened room. I'd put a £12 million bid in for Rodwell at Man City over Wanyama. Mind you none of them seem to want to come here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we spend the suggested £30-40m on those three, then I suspect Norwich will look at their signings at say, two-thirds of what we shell out, with a smug satisfaction.

Clever signings so far and if those two also come it´s bloody good work from them. My missus was happy with the Redmond transfer, especially after I'd been bleating about his performance in the U21 game vs Italy. For me their transfers have been OK, but as long as Hughton is their manager, they'll never be more than a mid-table team, scraping away playing unattractiive football and largely relying on set pieces for goals. Getting rid of Holt was a wise move, but I don't rate Hughton that highly. Watching Norwich on occasion last season was painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without some of these signings I would think they would be in danger of relegation but now with these signings I can see them easily safe in 10th-14th spot...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 9 July, 2013 Share Posted 9 July, 2013 I said it back in May when he was first linked but I'm not really keen on Sinclair. The reasons being for the wages he'd command from Man City and whether or not he would definitely improve us. I don't think he would (maybe I don't rate him as much as others do). But with Puncheon, Lallana, and Jay-Rod already competing for the two available 'outside right / left' positions in a 4-2-3-1 I think if we were to bring anyone in who play there they'd have to be better and I am not sure Sinclair is. Another reason is that I genuinely think we've got some great players coming through in those positions as well so even if this season is too soon for them I think in time they can contribute so I don't think it would be worth signing Sinclair on that basis.

pingwing Posted 10 July, 2013 Share Posted 10 July, 2013 Thought the idea was Maya, Forren or Lovren could cover there... (same with the RB with Maya and Chambers) Or we swap into a more european formation with 3 at the back and then play wingers who track all the way back.
