ncfc4life 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Just seen this on the mirror website saying that we are going to sign Anthony Mcnamee on loan until january-http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Norwich-close-in-on-Swindon-transfer-target-article232759.htmlDont really know much about him but we could do with a few wingers and im gussing we will probably sign him in january.The problem of course is that it is from the mirror so not really the most trustworthy source!

Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted November 26, 2009 Bear in mind that this has come from the Mirror, so it may just be speculation. When interest was shown in McNamee in September, Danny Wilson replied: "Macca’s going nowhere. If we wanted him to go he would have gone already, so that answers everything. He’s going nowhere at all".I would be surprised but happy if it happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Looked good when Swindon came to Norwich but where will he fit in? Competition for Lappin or... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted November 26, 2009 just hope he is better than the few games I have seen him in, currently not as good as we alreadu have in the starting 11 but is young. Is he any better than Josh Dawkins ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,317 Posted November 26, 2009 I suspect he might not start every game but the key thing for me is he has pace and that is something we lack. To have him and Cody to bring off the bench gives us a lot more threat on the break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCardinal 0 Posted November 26, 2009 As has already been said, he''d give us pace and width which we don''t have. League titles and promotions are won on the strength of the squad, not just the team. He would improve the strength of our squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted November 26, 2009 As he started in Swindon''s last game vs Huddersfield, I can''t see McNamee coming on loan or even signing in January, much as I''d like to think that it''s going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smeg 0 Posted November 26, 2009 how are we going to afford him and martin???i fear we are going to sell someone in Jan to fund it, and it wont be cureton!unless the david marshall money was held back or some nutty clause in dean ashtons deal means we get a chunk of insurance monie in lieu of the sell on clause (arghhh soo many straws.... cant clutch them alll!)

Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted November 26, 2009 Michael Bailey seems to think it might be on, in spite of the fact that McNamee started in Swindon''s last game vs Huddersfield:http://www.pinkun.com/content/pinkun/norwich-city/story.aspx?brand=PINKUNOnline&category=Norwich&tBrand=PINKUNOnline&tCategory=xDefault&itemid=NOED26%20Nov%202009%2013%3A28%3A56%3A890Might be something to it then!

Askounin 0 Posted November 26, 2009 I think people are going a little bit ott about this guy. I personally think Andros Townsend from Spurs might be a better option? More pace than mcnanee and probably avalible for less, im sure Spurs wouldnt want much and if Orient make a bit surely we can mach them financially? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lambo 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Aslong as he''s here and we''re not breaking up out starting 11 then fine, with Martin joining yesterday I think we now have a bloody ideal first 11. Hopefully MacNamee is our plan B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,502 Posted November 26, 2009 Sounds like much needed competition for Lappin to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted November 26, 2009 Swindon have just signed Alan Sheehan from Leeds (also LMF), so the McNamee deal could be happening after all, especially as he didn''t train with the team today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bump 0 Posted November 26, 2009 [quote user="ron obvious"]Sounds like much needed competition for Lappin to me.[/quote]Agreed, with Whaley out on loan our only options down either wing are McVeigh and Lappin.Doesn''t mean the end of Wes necessarily.

a1canary 0 Posted November 26, 2009 If we want wingers surely our first option is a right winger, not left? We have wes and laps on the left, but only WLY and an absent WahLeY on the right. Could Cody do a job on the right?I suppose PL won''t be keen on putting Wes on the left and exposing Drury which is fair enough but is it worth sacrificing Lappin''s left foot and all the assists for McNamee''s pace?

Jim Smith 2,317 Posted November 26, 2009 He can play on both wings apparently and I guess we could go 4-4-2 with Wes/Lappin on left and Smith/Macca on the right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Possibly, just possibly, Lambert sees Semi as a better option with his pace on the wing?! He has got a decent cross and would probably track well considering he is supposedly a defender first and formost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
