I can't see Gunn going anywhere 

I’d be surprised if he does go.

Why would Gunn want to leave. He came back because he is a Norwich lad, which has not stopped him from becoming Scotland's first choice keeper.

And why all the infantile blubbing about supposed lack of signings ? Only three other Chanpionship clubs have signed more players than us. Yes, three.

The S'oton player who took Aarons right back place in England's U21 is wanted by Newcastle. They offered £15m, then upped it to £3Om. S'oton want £50m

So what price Aarons ?

The gunn rumour isn't a surprise, he is one of our most saleable assets with a solid reputation, and leeds makes sense given meslier appe a rs to be on his way out. 

Add in we have signed a very highly rated young keeper this summer to keep the bench warm under krul.  Gunn is preferable but not indispensable, esp if we can strengthen creativity...  he came here to play, but if he had the same assurance with a higher wage it wouldn't be a hard sell

Someone might be able to clarify but wasn't the final price to Southampton likley to be pretty high after a number of appearances were met? Plus there might well be an add-on to them following his international call-up. Point being he won't be a cheap option for Leeds, but it doesn't look as though they have a number one GK if Meslier leaves.

We paid £5m in two installments. I believe it has been said the add on trigers are all highly unlikely. I seem to remember something like a maximum of £15m but they were only expecting £7-9m realistically.

If one trigger was England appearances, that's out. PL survival may have been another...

Another is managing Norwich in the future and losing by a greater margin than his Dad's Norwich side achieved

New - or regurgitated - link to Camacho being reported, might be a goer.

There was apparent interest from Germany, so I suppose we will see.  But there’s enough on here who think he’s good enough to star for us  so perhaps he’ll knuckle down and do the business here.  I’m not convinced, but would be happy if it worked out.

On what he's shown for us I'm not convinced either but he must have been good in Bundy and turkey , however he clearly wants out , let's hope there is still interest!

Or they thought they could get a cut price deal and we didn't budge.

There were other teams in the mix as per reports, he just wasn't willing to consider them. I still think he'll leave but there are better cards in our hand now.

It is not a pawn shop. A club has to want him.

Considering that it's probably our weakest position right now, and it might push some of the ones who aren't quite good enough towards the exit door, I'm all for it.

We've bought one winger in Sainz who's injured...Rowe and Springett still young, Tzolis and Placheta not good enough, Rashica probably off somewhere, when the inconsistent Hernandez is our best winger it says we need wingers

Yep. Don't think anyone would say that we don't need a winger right now.

Except Cambridge it seems.

Certainly has got a fair few goals over the last few seasons in the Swizz league

[cambridgeshire canary 6,799]

Moving quickly. On his way to England.

 

[Branston Pickle 3,689]

Good to finally get some links - and from a good source of info

[FenwayFrank 2,467]

Someone get on flight tracker or whatever it's called

[Capt. Pants 4,277]

Another '6 footer' as well.

We're beefing up a bit!

[Terminally Yellow 2,479]

"believed to be working on deals". And this from Connor...

 

Sounds like we might get one or two done next week...

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,800]

...now 'if' we could get this swiss chap in on the right and a motivated, interested Rashica on the left, with Barnes playing off Sargent ,suddenly it might all look a bit a better?
