It''s nothing against Steve Cook, who, as an ever present for Bournemouth, is far from likely to be released by the club.

This does have the air of desperation about it. At least the scouts are no longer on an overseas jolly sticking their fingers in the air to see which way the wind is blowing, but are busy in their Carrow Road offices pulling names out of a hat.......

According to Laurie Whitwell for the Mail Online, Walters is keen on a move to Norwich......... ......but best of all...... ''''Norwich hope to receive £3m for the deal'' I reckon this could turn out to be the transfer of the century.

So with Walters possibly arriving, Hooper maybe exiting, and Bournemouth buying Murray, Grabban could well find himself 4th choice striker at Norwich tomorrow morning with plenty of time on his hands to eat humble pie.

Literally translated as ''Thank God''....... Is this a heavenly sign that we have at last found the goal scorer we have been craving for?

I can''t imagine Pulis will pass on his services if the opportunity arises......

Derby are close to signing Jacob Butterfield, an ex-Canary who wasn''t given much opportunity but seems to be fulfilling his potential.

With the end of the transfer window looming, I think we''re going to be thankful for anyone who can kick a football and knows what a goal net looks like...........

Is it a little concerning that there has been no announcement from the club regarding Mbokani?

This result/performance has undermined all the solid progress of the first three games, and this has come about from one player''s naivety/stupidity. Four points from twelve was a minimum requirement from the ''relatively kind'' early fixtures. Lessons need to be learnt quickly, although Wisdom''s performance suggests there will be no quick route back for Whittaker.

Ruddy''''s ''dissaray'' quote coming back to bite him.....

If we''re laying blame, then the goal was Howson''s fault. Giving the ball away needlessly completely wrong-footed the Norwich defenders......

Martin didn''t need to play him offside. Pelle was offside.

So it was offside. When do these dodgy decisions start evening out?

Lightweight Howson concedes easy possession = goal. I think I''d rather have seen Hoolahan stay on.......

It will take some effort to keep Mane and Tadic at bay with 10 men.

It''s the first booking that was so mindless. Two softer yellows for a red you probably won''t see this season.

I suspect that Sky are contractually obliged to interrupt the Manure love-in by having to show the Southampton v Norwich match, and offer a smidgen of pre-match analysis.

As pleasant as it is to hear Mourinho sqeal, how many more referees are going to allow CW committ GBH in the penalty box unpunished this season? They may be in second spot, but Pardew and Palarse are riding their luck at the moment.......

Since when have goals from overhead kicks in the penalty area been allowed?

Obviously after the RVW experience, nothing can be taken for granted, but on the face of it this an excellent start to the final transfer countdown.

4 assists in just under 150 games....... how does he fill in his time in between scoring the occasional goal?

.....according to John Ruddy, when speaking about Southampton. No, no and thrice no......these sort of quotes have a habit of coming back to bite you. They don''t need extra incentives to kick-start the season...... Cue a Ruddy howler on Sunday.

Grabban''s hack is the customary host of Sky''s Sunday Supplement, so will be very surprised if the incident doesn''t come up for lively debate this weekend.

Grabban''s been a ''silly boy'' and ''I don''t have a problem, he might have......'' What wonderful put-downs, and succinct ways of taking charge of a difficult situation. Don''t you just admire every move he makes.......
