TheGunnShow 5,983 Posted July 6, 2021 Interestingly he's played with Stuttgart and Hoffenheim. As has Lukas Rupp. Looks like they were together at Hoffenheim for four years. Might be something in this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaberry2 554 Posted July 7, 2021 People writing off signings due to age is wrong. We will clearly need experienced players with a mix of younger players in order to survive this season. Albeit, this has come from a turkish journalist who reports mainly Italian Seria A rumours, so im not sure how reliable he would be for solid information. I just wonder whether Norwich are looking at some (1 or 2) signings who featured in the Euros which has prompted the pinkun to do their articles on prospective targets Norwich could look at signing? I wonder whether they are sitting on some information they are yet to disclose... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do seem to be on the ball with players we have identified and ones which are just media talk. I think we can all say Billing & Ajer look like the priority signings currently. It would seem Cantwell is being looked at by Spurs scouts now as well. Im sure people have identified him as a potential due to his current contract expiring in the not so distant future.

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 7, 2021 Zuber has been class this tournament but his last few seasons leaves a lot to be desired.

I also remember after Euro 96, a bunch of english clubs bought players based on their tournament performance - Nikola Jerkan springs to mind.. Not to mention the bizarre Robert Jarni "transfer"..

He had a standout World Cup in 1994 but later had a bad injury, I think to his ankle, and was never the same player again, so Parma wanted to get rid of him. And Leeds decided to buy him...

I was about to say there seems to be some foggy memories on here! 2-0 up, a brilliant goal from Ashton and one from McKenzie I think? Then we lost it and conceded twice before half time, killing the atmosphere and causing Delia to come out to try and get us going again.

I remember we had a habit of playing well and conceding soft goals which is what happened in that game. I always remember when Kluivert scored what looked like a late equaliser v Newcastle (the game with Safri's screamer) which felt like it summed up our season, until we went up the other end and grabbed a last minute winner. It was a fun season with the worst ending in Norwich history. I still remember leaving one of the last games on the final whistle to go catch a train, walking along the Riverside and hearing a huge roar from those still in the stadium as it was announced two of our relegation rivals had played out a draw meaning we had control of our own destiny.

I was about 16 so it was my first real season of premier league football that I full appreciated and was just incredible. The 4-4 against Boro will never be forgotten, I remember we beat I think it was Charlton 1-0 right towards the end of the season Mathiaus Svenson scored and it really looked like we might do it only for that sunny day at Fulham. Still remember to this day watching that game in Lloyds down riverside, the 3-2 win over West Brom stands out from that season as well for the banter with Kieran Richardson and a late winner, just great. Soft underbelly like you say, should never have let Malky go for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I broke my leg that year and it was my first game back in my seat in the Barclay having done the previous few in the disabled section, what an evening and what an atmosphere, to beat that Fergie team with Ronaldo, Rooney, Van Nistelrooy, Scholes etc. special.

I called home from a payphone on a street in San Diego and scared some passers-by with my reaction when I was told we'd won 2-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
