Proper rumour for a DM. Normann has been pushing to leave Russia for a while now and is expected to go somewhere this summer. 

He was at Brighton for a couple of seasons but never played for them. Is a good tackler and great in the air. 

Be interesting to know what sort of figure it would take to prize him away from Rostov, Bethnal?

[Capt. Pants 4,202]

Normann could well have missed all pre season due to injury if Transfermarkt is correct and has been out for 147 days with a muscle injury since March.

It's a no from me in view of his likely transfer fee.

He played three days ago - although limped off in that game.

Crikey, if that’s the case Pants then it would seem to be one hell of a gamble, and I’m not sure in this case we would want to take such a gamble on what could prove to be one of our most important signings of the window.

No idea - Rostov made a record sale for them last season which was around £9m. So likely something north of that due to the high regard they have for him, plus he has three more years on his deal.

Not NCFC related but I read earlier today that Danjuma is off to Villareal for around 25m euro's

[Wishbone 8]

I like the way Normann is holding the football in the photo on the front page. If this is his speciality, he must get sent off a lot.

[Jpootz 15]

A bit underwhelmed by this if I’m being honest. But if he comes in and does the business then great. Although I’m sure there must be better players we could get, especially on a loan with a view to buy option if that was something the club was considering.  The Marseille flight this morning had me looking at Ligue 1 and it seems like it has players that would fit the bill for us.

On a related note - it’s a bit weird it seems us and Newcastle are always being linked with the same players.

I was listening to a Newcastle supporter on talksport a couple of months ago and he said that they only had a 10 million to spend, and I thought not a chance that's a silly amount but they are linked to every player we are it seems and also they only player they have brought is Willock and that deal is probably structured the same way Arsenal like to do their deals so their maybe some element of truth in what he had said.

It’ll be interesting to see if there’s a ‘wide of the mark’ story on this fella in the morning…

Cahill case is over, joining Bournmouth

Tufan the turkey International midfielder who we were liked with with earlier in the window has signed for Watford on a season long loan with an agreement for a permanent deal at the end of the season should Watford want him.

We are generally shopping in the same price range - that's why Palace, Southampton are often linked as well. Mind you, Newcastle pushed the boat out for Willock.

I wonder if this is the sort of route we'll go down for a DM- I think we're going to see a flurry of loan deals happening towards the end of the window as clubs with financial issues who haven't been able to sell aim to shift some wages off the books.

If they want, Newcastle are out of our price league - spent (wasted) £40m on Joelinton, don't forget!

I think they'd mainly be out of our league wages wise.

Has a good reputation, and because we were linked with him I kept a close watch on him during the Euros. He was pretty rubbish in all those games so that might be why we didn't continue our putative interest.

We must be the only club that loses out on transfers  to Championship sides whilst in the EPL! Rumours Pereira rejected us in favour of WBA in 19/20. 

Of course I'm jesting a little.

It's more or less been confirmed that's exactly what we will be doing. The question is, who. There's probably a pool of players ready to join new clubs on this sort of deal, and a lot of EPL clubs fighting for them. Seems like Watford won this one.. heavily linked with Everton and Leicester too.

I suspect that the Joelinton deal may be one of the reasons why they are shopping in the same areas as us - once bitten, twice shy (You don't hear that saying very often now do you?).

Spending money is no guarantee that a player will work. Somebody pointed out that Sheffield Utd had 3 strikers that the bought for the ELP at a cost of £50 million on the bench last night.

I have watched quite a few fenerbahce games over the last several years. I lived there about 10 years ago and they were my Turkish team so keep an eye on results and watch the bigger games..... Tufan is OK, decent enough in Turkish Superlig but not Prem standard imo. Be surprised if he ends up doing very much for Watford.

He was awful in the Euros, albeit in a surprisingly poor Turkish team

maybe that’s why it’s only option to buy as Watford smart enough to realise he might not make the step up!

Still very confident we can bring in a really good CDM

I suspect at Cahill’s age he’s made his coin and so would rather go where it suits him and his family above anything else - Paddy Davitt confirmed the other day he was looking for a club nearer to his home in Surrey so Brighton, Southampton and Bournemouth were in the box seats I guess. Funnily enough, it seems most Bournemouth fans aren’t very excited about the signing!

I have absolutely no ideas how reliable this is. They have 26.7 thousand followers, so presumably not a teenager on a wind up?

Translates as Galatasaray rejected the 3 million euro offer from Norwich City, one of the Premier League teams, for Mbaye Diagne.

Weird to be linked to another striker unless both Idah and Hugill are off? Or maybe it was a link from before we went with Sargent…

Interesting, Badger, but isn’t that the striker that was in loan with West Brom last season or something?
