Vaughan is 8 and De Laet is 24 as far as I can see from pre season photos. I have no idea about the others though.

Norwich on Football Manager 2011
Hellesdon Canary replied to mikewalker's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
If you play 4-3-1-2 with the central one of the 3 set as a ball winning midfielder, and the two wider ones set as box to box midfielders with wide play as hug touchline, that seems to work. Currently 14 played, won 10 and drawn 4. -
A legend on sky sports 1
Hellesdon Canary replied to Superstitious Dave 's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
In the studio for the play-off final, with Beagrie and Carlisle. Most of the country will need an interpreter then! -
Whittaker starts at right back so I assume he''ll be on the bench.

Tonights Game
Hellesdon Canary replied to Hellesdon Canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I thought about it, but I went for Martin as we already had a pacy winger one side I thought the long range shooting ability of Martin would be of more use to us the pace. Martin''s crossing for Holt would also be a lot better than Jackson who is purely a finisher. -
For me Lambert doesn''t have the players available to make the diamond work this evening, so maybe this sort of team would do a job for one game: Ruddy Martin Barnett Ward Lappin Smith Fox McNamee Hoolahan Martin Holt This is just a case of fitting our best players into a formation, I think it could be pretty effective away from home though.

Grant Holt & Johan Elmander
Hellesdon Canary replied to Lewie - Holt Our Saviour's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
That is a good one, Insua for Liverpool also looks like a younger version of Holt or Elmander. -
possible signings for next season.
Hellesdon Canary replied to The Chirp's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
[quote] alas, there are many a gem in the lower league worth a go, but they do all require money. you are right about barcham, if he was free, he would be worth a 1 year deal to see how he develops. and yes it is bennett. still trying to find michael morrison, might be at cambridge utd? cant remember where he went. Still. theres plenty out there for gunn to look at. [/quote] Michael Morrison went to Leicester. -
Loan signings in the third division.
Hellesdon Canary replied to Croydon Canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
[quote user="San Miguel"] i think it''s safe to assume that the quality of loan players drop from the championship to league 1, but it doesn''t mean they are bad. it''s more likely to mean the player/owner clubs expectations of the players potential are slightly lower than those loaned to championship clubs take MK Dons for example, they have two players on loan from Chelsea (Cummings and Magnay) both of which i''ve never heard of. however, Cummings plays regular first team football for MKD and they''re not doing too bad for themselves i wonder if Cummings, a centre back, would have been a better gamble than Bertrand a left back? [/quote] I think Magnay is a centre back, he won the show on Sky 1 ''Football Icon'' IIRC so he cant be that bad... -
When are we on Skysports....?
Hellesdon Canary replied to kick it off's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Back to the original topic, IIRC I think the next lot of live games are announced as soon as the last lot are over. So that must be pretty soon... -
Change In Formation?

Sorry Cartoon Head, I wasn''t actually speaking to you, that comment was aimed at LGT. I can see why you thought I meant you though..[:$] -
Change In Formation?
Hellesdon Canary replied to Hellesdon Canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
[quote user="lucky green trainers"][quote user="Cartoon Head"]thats basically a 4-4-2 with Gow playing off Killen[/quote] yep, 4-4-2 with gow or hooley in the hole would do for me,,, none of these fancy bs formations please - keep it simple legends - we need good displays and points on the board, make no mistake... [/quote] Take the point about the 4-4-2, but I was just trying to show how the formation would actually play in-game. But no need to shoot me down for making a suggestion was there...? -
Change In Formation?
Hellesdon Canary replied to Hellesdon Canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
That should be ''his recent dip in form''. This is when an edit button would come in handy. -
Now we have a few options in the squad after a decent deadline day, we need to fit our best players into a formation which suits them. Although Gunn will probably play almost the same team as the last few games, which he is right to do after a three match unbeaten run; I would like to see how the players react to this sort of formation: Marshall Leijer Doherty Grounds Bertrand Clingan Russell Croft Gow Hoolahan Killen It may be slightly expansive for a relegation battle, but this is the only way I could think of fitting the improving Hoolahan and all the new signings into one team. I would like to see Leijer at right-back for Otsemobor because of hi rcent dip in form. The only other problem I can see with this formation is the lack of goals, but with Mcdonald on the bench you never know ;) Thoughts?

Fotheringham in a sulk?
Hellesdon Canary replied to Slim Jim's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
[quote user="Nuff Said"]You''ll never improve on this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cDuW3joTBq8 Classic [/quote] That is quality NS, I was in stitches -
How many of the people who were desperate for Fozzy to sign a long-term contract extension still feel the same way? I''ll admit I was one of them at the time, but now I am almost pleased that he isn''t on a long-term contract. The way Clingan has played so far has not helped Fozzy''s situation, but if we were to let him go in the summer I wouldn''t really be bothered. We have Russell, Clingan and now Pattison is starting to perform to his capabilities, that area of the team is starting to look solid. Would you extend his contract this summer?

This really outlines the fact that a foreign owner would do us no good at all. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7597677.stm

First Choice midfield quartet?
Hellesdon Canary replied to Boba Fett's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
[quote user="JC"] Russell Clingon Bell Fotheringham Hoolahan Mr Striker [/quote] Agree with this with a few minor changes Fotheringham Clingan Bell Russell Hoolahan New Striker People may say that this means Lupoli is sitting on the bench, but at the end of the day he is not our player. So I think it would be better to try and get our own midfielders and striker working as a unit. -
Football Grounds & Fans
Hellesdon Canary replied to Pi$$ed As A Mattress's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Best Ground - Either FCR or The Millenium, i''m waiting for a wembly trip with the canaries aswell Worst Ground - Selhurst Park, the place is a complete and utter s*** hole, it is also nearly impossible to park a car within a 5 mile radius of the ground Best Fans - I thought that although he place is pretty s***, the atmosphere between the Bristol City and Norwich fans at ashton gate last season was immense Worst Fans - Wolves and Ipswich for the obvious reasons -
