Oz Canary 0 Posted August 24, 2012 It''s all a farce, a farce I say....................Have never heard of Tettey but most people seem positive so I will wait to hear some positive news.Quick question though, with all the defenders and holding and defensive midfielders where is our attacking options or flair going to come from.Whose going to go forward enough to supply Holty and the other forwards.Just asking????

Number 9 0 Posted August 24, 2012 While we are Milking all these Tettley jokes, we shouldn''t water down how strong he is as a player, this could be a real sweetener to the fans. Delia already knows some of his family who are in catering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 132 Posted August 24, 2012 Seriously now, I''m not sure how much truth there is in the story. The Nzonzi rumour has spread out over the papers and in France they''re reporting Tettey wants to fight for his place in the Rennes side... Dificult to assess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,609 Posted August 24, 2012 [quote user="PurpleCanary"]According to L''Equipe today he does want to leave Rennes (he doesn''t seem to be getting a look-in there this season) and has had offers, but from Turkey. No mention of Norwich or any PL club.[/quote] Today L''Equipe is saying that although there was interest from several Turkish clubs it now believes Tettey could be heading to Norwich, for 1.25m euros. L''Equipe also says Rennes may be on the point of selling a winger to Blackpool, which might indicate Matt Phillips is leaving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn''t it a shame we''ve no longer got Wes, Pilks, Bennett, Howson, Surman and that we didn''t sign Butterfield or Snodgrass. If we had that lot we wouldn''t have had the worry of who''ll supply the goals. As it is, I don''t know what we''ll do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smooth 114 Posted August 24, 2012 Finally that defensive midfielder we have needed. Great news, bassong, garrido and Getty move very good squad players into those squad positions and out of the first 11. Makes us much stronger.I do hope a striker is next and why not keep asking about the other midfielder, if a move is on and his dream move isn''t there then we can be a platform. Personally I now think Getty can come in and Snodgrass and Howson can now be given hat free reign to attack knowing great cover is there. You buy better quality and it allows you to do more.Let''s get that starting striker and we are in a great position to compete. 3 quality signings since last weekend is just what we needed.

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted August 24, 2012 A couple of people on here earlier reckon Tettey is not really that good? Can''t get near the Rennes 1st team and is only a fringe international for Norway? Doesn''t sound too promising. Wish it was the argy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bws Cat 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Hopefully this signing means Howson can stop playing in a defensive position and can move forward,giving us a more offensive edge. But for the love of God please just get us a striker! (Or two) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try Tetty. One more signing, a quality striker, and I, like you, would be happy with our summer transactions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan_Grey 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Just watch the Tettety interview on the official site, he comes across as highly enthusiastic to be playing in the premier league and seems a nice guy, smiling all thr way through unlike some footballers whose mouths appear to have been botoxed! Of course, enthusiasm isn''t much good without footballing ability but it''s a good start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wish it was the argy![/quote]To be fair i believe he''s had some injuries over the last couple of years and still played a fair amount of games for Rennes. He might not turn out to be any good but he must have had good potential and the charcteristics of his game that have been mentioned if up to scratch are things that we are missing as a team.
