Lets be aving you! 0 Posted July 22, 2011 OK, chaps and chapesses, which one out of Lambert''s signings this summer will prove our best?Based on what you''ve seen of them, or read about them, or just on pure gut instinct.I''m going for Vaughan: loads of potential allied with a cracking attitude. I mean, which other player out on loan would be so gutted to lose to Scu*thorpe that he broke his hand on the dressing room wall in anger. Or maybe that''s just stupidity ...But, anyway, which is your top signing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFC4LIFE 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Pilkington or BennettI am so excited for these two i just hope Pilks is the same player after his leg break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Power Hamster 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Best signing this summer was Lambert himself, signing his new contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant Holt is a Monster 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Vaughan for me. He reminds me of Mark Robins in style. A good omen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 6,386 Posted July 22, 2011 The smararse answer is the one signing Lambert hasn''t made yet...The serious answer is Bennett/Pilkington, because we needed at least one out and out winger to give us tactical flexibility.Having seen neither I have no idea which might be the better signing.Some of the other signings look good but they are either replacements or back-up for positions in which we had some kind of cover.Bennett and Pilkington - if they are any good - add a new dimension.

Ooh Ahh Lee Power 2 Posted July 22, 2011 Bradley Johnson for me. Not only is he a workhorse and an engine but also a great free transfer. He has energy, grit and I met him the other week!! Nice chap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mahogany 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Bennett for me, but I''m extremely happy with all of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morisons Prozac 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Vaughan or Pilkington will flourish this season IMO and I also think Johnson will be a bit of a dark horse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barclay hero 0 Posted July 22, 2011 [quote user="Ooh Ahh Lee Power"]Bradley Johnson for me. Not only is he a workhorse and an engine but also a great free transfer. He has energy, grit and I met him the other week!! Nice chap![/quote]Same for me. A lot of comment has been made around defensive frailties, however if you have a midfield that blocks the way to the back 4 youre going to limit the opportunities the other teams have. Not only that but an effective midfield enables your full backs to push upfield too. From what Ive seen of Johnson in the last couple of seasons he''ll provide a lot of that bite in the centre, whilst scoring the odd safri-like goal too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjs7 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Pilkington for me. Ive watched a few youtube video''s of Bennett, Vaughan, Morison and Pilkington and whilst they all impressed me with there skill and eye for goal it was Pilkington who stood out, he reminds me of a taller, stockier version of Huckerby, beating players time and again, cutting inside, dancing through defences and shooting with either foot... cant wait to see him grace the Premier League and prove a few doubters wrong... i like everyone of us just hopes his ankle holds up.. he certainly deserves some good luck after that horrible injury !!!

Tetteys Jig 851 Posted July 22, 2011 Vaughan - if he stays injury free, he will bang them in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 401 Posted July 22, 2011 Hmm its tough for me as I see it two ways, best signing or most exciting signing!Best signing might prove to be De Laet and Morrison who both I think potential to do well in the top flight and have important roles to play.Exciting signing- Pilkington and Bennett both excite me and I cant wait to see what they can do, both have the potential to do the ''huckerby''.. by that I mean everytime Hucks got the ball the excitiment in the crowd went up as we just knew something was going to happen! I also think that Vaughan and Johnson are going to add yet more to the sqaud... Vaughan looks like he could definatly get some goals, and the opposition are going to know they have been in a game with Johnson!See this is the best thing... to me there is no stand out one man, Im finding it hard to pick a player that appears head and sholders above the rest due to all of them being good!

Norfolk Mustard 106 Posted July 22, 2011 Pilks could become the new Hucks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alysha 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Not sure who Lambert''s best signing will prove to be, but I can''t wait to see Pilkington play; it seems as though he is still doing fitness and muscle work on his own though, so I''m not sure when he will be allowed to start training with the others and when we will see him in a Norwich shirt.

Canarino 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Naughton is a great signing, it''ll be interesting to see how often he plays and how often Russell Martin plays! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 335 Posted July 22, 2011 I think Vaughan is our best signing so far this summer but only time will tell.Pilkington and Bennett will either be fab or hit and miss, and apart from Bennetts free kick goal against us neither player had much impact against when we played huddersfield or brighton in league one.We have a squad that gives us options and that will hold us in good stead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evesham Canary 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Happy with all 7 to be honest.Interesting that the player who has attracted the least comment is Morison - who probably cost the most!Personally, I am most excited by the 2 wingers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yobocop 1,444 Posted July 23, 2011 Johnson for me too, he seemed to make the Leeds team tick last season and they''ll miss him hurrendously next season....Although I''m quite interested to see what Morison will do next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canaryman 0 Posted July 23, 2011 Has to be Morison for me, a player that never stops working and seems to be of the same type of player as grant holt them 2 make the dreamteam i hope banging in the goals. I also think Johnson and bennett will be bloody awesomee.De laet worries me slightly bt with lamberts guidance shud be ok and everyone else will be fine.
