"if we can somehow palm Lafferty off..."

can''t imagine there''s a queue of clubs willing to pay what we''re currently paying him.

[AJ 1,218]

I would assume Thompson''s injury is actually quite bad, as he seems to have not appeared in any pictures or anything lately so would assume he isn''t training or anywhere close to returning.

[Woodman 92]

indeed, but why the lack of information? If he''s had surgery or needs it, why not tell us. Perhaps Paddy or Michael B could ask at the next press conference. With Dorrans, Jarvis and Howson, we knew they were long term layoffs.

Now Ajax left back Mitchell Dijks apparently in talks with us.23 year old who has been capped at u21 level.

[Morisons Prozac 0]

Got to say the younger, fresher players we are being linked to excite me. If we can sign Dijks, Zeegelar, a CB and a striker, possibly on loan with a few more shifted out you''ve got to say that''s a surprisingly satisfying window that should hopefully instill some optimism among the fans, player and manager.

Mitchell Djiks is 6'' 4"- bloody massive for a full back! Wonder if he fills in at centre back too?

The Dutch - tallest race in the world. He''s probably tiny over there.

Seeing reports Zeegelaar is a done deal. Nothing official though.

Conor Hourihane confirmed at Villa.*Cue hand wringing about how we failed to bring him here, despite probably not being interested.

And right on cue, Rob Butler tweeting about "Another proven Championship player signs for Villa".

Regrettably yet another car crash of a transfer window when will we ever learn

Rob Butler always seems that he got his job because he won a competition.

[king canary 7,577]

Yeah Butler is utter cack- no insight, no real knowledge of the game and just shouts a lot.

This will amuse some....Ryan Bennet subject of interest from PREMIERSHIP and championship clubs.

I quite like Butler - obviously a massive Norwich City fan. And prepared to say it how it is - even if others maybe aren''t. Not the most intelligent, mind.

" damn those portakabins, damn them to hell ! " 🗽

At this rate we''ll just end up with a panic buy or youth loan from a Prem side as LB cover.

Looking forward to the reaction to that.

We''ve known Brady and Olsson were likely to leave for some time, how have we ended up in a position where with a few days to go we''ve managed to get nobody in?!
