No joke - we've had a bid accepted for Arturo Lupoli!

[Mister Chops 7]

Where''s 1st Wizard?.....And will he say...(a) Brilliant, an overpaid unproven foreigner.OR(b) He was crap at Derby and he''ll be crap for us.OR(c) Both of the above?

[ncfcstar 287]

Lupoli would be a great signing, although I hope he hasn''t gone off the rails a bit?

He was great at Derby, and showed great promise while playing in the Arsenal cup teams. This is looking promising.

We won''t pay his wages. That would be my guess.

[/quote]Thanks for that Camul. So it would appear we could loan him but not buy him then?

[quote user="Mister Chops"][quote user="A steaming pile of Efan Ekoku"]doesnt say it has been accepted does it? or am i severely blind
[/quote]

No, it hasn''t been accepted.

Not an Ekoku fan, then?  Strange choice when you could have had Beckford, Coney, or anyone else who was crap.

Can''t have Coney.  But don''t get me wrong, I''m not a fan.  It''s my sense of irony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haggling time but a loan at least?  But obviously it confirms talks are on - watch this space for Norwich fans I think.

[king canary 7,578]

Would much prefer a perm deal but a loan is not a bad idea.

[newyorkcanary 14]

He''s another wee-man, it seems. 5 foot 8 (1.73m).  Not much of aerial threat.  Can''t see him side by side with Cureton.

[/quote]Seems so. I wouldn''t mind him on loan anyway. He looked like a talented young player when he was at arsenal and out on loan.

Been a bit rubbish in Italy but impressed during his time at Derby.  Would be an excellent signing if he regains his form!http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arturo_Lupoli

From a Derby-supporting friend:

"Might be ok for you boys, not good enough to be a ram. No, he''s very talented though a bit lightweight for the championship."

hope the deal gets sorted soon if true,lots of other clubs in hunt for forwards at mo. maybe a bit of good news at last.

[King Beef 0]

Those who look at Football Manager when debating how good a potential player is will be wetting themselves with excitement!

In all seriousness though, this guy would take this league by STORM with the right motivation.

Mmmmmmm, Lupoli and Ameobi...

*Wakes up*

Damn, Martin and Cureton...

[E I E I E I O 0]

I am not interested in him on loan. If he does well we have no chance of making it permanent.Put in a firm offer and tell them to take it or leave it!

[Jonny 5 0]

ItwWould be amazing if we got Lupoli!! Once talk about as the next big thing, but not quite lived upto that level of expectation. He is still an amazing player, would probably be the most technically gifted player to ever play for Norwich if we signed him, yes even better than Hucks.His one failing has always been his size, Wenger considered him to slight to play in England and he certainly wouldn''t header the ball much.Sign him up! On loan or not, just get him!

[SnakepitCanary 0]

I agree, I don''t care whether it''s permanent or temporary, just get him in! This would send a massive message to all the Championship clubs that we mean business.

If we have made a bid to sign him permanently, surely that means we aren''t skint?

I suspect that Mr Roeder will not be very pleased at this getting out.........................

[O.T.B.C 0]

He has the potential and when he was at Derby he scored a few and they wanted him to stay. But I think he wanted to go back to Italy. Get him up and about with a big striker and decent supply he should do well. But lets wait for the signing to be unveiled.

I can''t see Cureton being anything more than a substitute this year providing we actually sign some players! Is Lupoli an out and out striker then - I thought he was more of a floating kind of player or even a wide player?

[Hog 0]

Wonders will never cease, but lets hope its a perm and not another loan. We need to start building Norwich City

[Syteanric 1]

just looked him up on Wikipedia... he hasnt scored many goals! 7 in 34 games for Derby and 0 for every other club he has played for...

jas :)

[O.T.B.C 0]

I think some Derby fans were gutted he left, scoring well but made a few a subs appearances. He was dropped from the team near to the play-offs and never got back in. Its a tough one, has potential and you never know his game might be better suited to England than Italy, after all, he was brought up in the English way.

[O.T.B.C 0]

Ok, he only spent a couple of years here, thought it was more.
