S-Clarke Posted 10 August, 2014 Share Posted 10 August, 2014 Or, Norwich team look crap because the players are crap...?? No, you could take a fair few Norwich players out of that side and integrate them into good sides. But they're just very poorly managed, they were all last season. Why they kept on a reserve manager is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 10 August, 2014 Share Posted 10 August, 2014 Or, Norwich team look crap because the players are crap...?? Redmond has been very good in the England under 21s and looked good in a poor Birmingham team in the Europa league couple of seasons back. I'm inclined to believe that Norwich's coaching set up is a bit ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Perrin Posted 10 August, 2014 Share Posted 10 August, 2014 I suspect it is a game of dominos at the moment. Clearly we are willing to spend 10+ million on a CB, so are others. Man U are after Hummels. If they get him, then we have a chance with Rojos, if not we have Florin, if not Vlaar. Clearly Vlaar is an option but old and expensive. I expect deadline day will be busy for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanRG Posted 10 August, 2014 Share Posted 10 August, 2014 Redmond was pretty inept today to say the least, but so was the entirety of Norwich's attack and tactics. A very poorly managed team. I've never rated Redmond that highly but you're right, Norwich have been a mess for a long time. They couldn't even make Leroy Fer look more than average most of the time.

Redslo Posted 10 August, 2014 Share Posted 10 August, 2014 How close would Fonte be to be regarded as one now, he´s been in the country since summer 07...? Or do they have to been here from u21 or younger to be one of those....? from the 2013-2014 BPL Handbook: A.1.81. “Home Grown Player” means a Player who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any Club (or club) affiliated to the Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three Seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the Season during which he turns 21) and for the purposes of this definition of “Home Grown Player” a Season will be deemed to commence on the date on which the first Transfer Window closes and expire on the date of the final League Match of the Season; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Saints Posted 10 August, 2014 Share Posted 10 August, 2014 2 centre halfs, a fox in the box and a pacey wide man. Get these in and I'll be confident of a good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redslo Posted 10 August, 2014 Share Posted 10 August, 2014 5 more we need, right back cover , 2 centre backs, 1 right sided one left. Rojo perfect as can cover left back too, quick player in lallana role and a quality forward ie Hernandez. Anything else a bonus. One thing I'm a bit worried about is if we don't get rojo, the Romanian guy is right sided as it fonte so we don't want to be left with yoshida or jos playing. I would think that the club believes it only needs 1 CB because you don't make a big production out of your new on field captain when you are intended to make him a squad player.
