I see Godfrey is back in the papers being linked with Tottenham again. It notes they might not even wait until the summer to make a move, so I suspect a big bid will be received by them at some stage in the future. I would be surprised if he is here next season, but if he isnt we should be able to command a large sum for him.

Yes, its been confirmed he is out for 6 weeks.

Not a great start in terms of injuries we have sustained. Assuming a back pairing of Amadou & Godfrey, with Vrancic / Leitner or McLean in Trybulls space. How did Amadou look recently?

I think he is a little behind in terms of match fitness compared to others in fairness. Has shown glimpses of what he's about, but if we are going to have a successful season, we will need multiple players to take their game to a new level.

Good point on Roberts and one which had passed my thinking. Drmic also needs game time and more importantly needs to remain fit. Hopefully regardless of the next result, I would just like to see an improvement in performance, as the West Ham game looked a bit worrying at times.

Would like to see Drmic fit so he can start vying for the no.10 shirt. As much as my next statement will cause the uproar on this forum, I'd like to see him ahead of Cantwell, with Cantwell playing back up. (awaiting gun emoji's to be sent to me)

Would certainly like to see Roberts & Buendia start, with Cantwell in a central position. Steipi has offered very little so far this season and apart from giving us some much needed height & the occasional hold play, has done nothing to warrant holding down his position. Hopefully a return of one of the injury struggling CB's would then move Amadou in midfield to give us more grit and mobility in front of the back four.

Hi mate, lots of ex pat bars in Paris to choose from. The frog & percy pub at Bercy village is good. O'Briens Irish bar which is about ten mins from the tower is another option. Enjoy

Can see Newcastle's front line causing as problems with their movement. Hopefully we'll play some good football and get them on the back foot early.

Don't like either pundit. Our defending was poor though, so cant really escape criticism on that point. Hopefully Hanley comes out and put on a good display, or otherwise I doubt we'll be seeing him much in the first team this year.

For me Klose/Zimmermann when fit come in for Hanley no questions. Regardless of his mistake, he just isnt going to be good enough for the premiership. In respect of midfield, Leitner and Vrancic's passing ability will be key this season and must be part of the first team XI. Be interesting to see whether Amadou will be in contention for the Newcastle game and on paper, would seem a vast improvement on Trybull.

I like McLean, I just prefer other options currently albeit that they probably don't offer the same goal threat as McLean. He is certainly a player who is getting better and better & will no doubt play a vital part in the first team this season. My main concern with him is that he's sometimes sloppy on the ball and gives the ball away, something which he is getting better at.

Would be a record for a second division player if it went through. I can see us just being used as a pawn for bigger teams to be interested. I think most Norwich fans want this to happen, but still doubt it will.

Twitter is in meltdown currently (nothing new there). Be interesting what new reports get released as we go later into the day. Also the more this goes on, I wouldn't be surprised to see another bigger team come along and poach him.

Yes potentially, however he is regurgitating the article from earlier today.

A few french sources now saying deal is done. Be interesting to see whether they are basing that on earlier reports or have new information. Re: Claude-Maurice

That's as far as we all know. They did state they will stay awake until the close of the window, so who knows if anymore bodies are coming in. At least we all haven't got long to wait now.

Like many have said before me, the offer is acceptable. It just boils down to the player and where he see's his next club. His preferred option wasn't England (initially anyway).

16.5m on the table from Norwich on ACM, according to sources in France. Source: Le Telegramme

Apparently we've lodged another bid for Vida. Doesnt want to leave Turkey apparently. Some random turkish news reports on twitter. Guessing we're low balling a few people with some potential late additions, whether this one is true is most likely doubtful.

Be interesting to know what kind of pre season he has had and whether he is match fit? I cant see him starting against Liverpool (obviously) but do you reckon he will make the bench?

Amaaaaaaadou do do do gonna tackle you you you

Do we really need a defensive midfielder though? (Sorry couldnt resist) 😉
