chris_sabian 0 Posted August 7, 2012 I would hope that this will be swiftly followed by us signing a new centre back. I really thought Ayala would be pushing to be a regular starter this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnakepitCanary 0 Posted August 7, 2012 I''m starting to slightly worry about next season. I hope Hughton has a few irons already in the fire, otherwise what''s the point of letting him leave? We still have Ward and Barnett, who really are not good enough for this level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted August 7, 2012 Apart from Ward is good enough.Lambert thought he was good enough, and it looks like Hughton thinks he''s good enough...Hopefully Ayala has a fantastic season, and comes back ready to push into the first team here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RvWs 4 year contract 0 Posted August 7, 2012 I dont understand all the panic about Dani Ayala going out on loan.Michael Turner, Ryan Bennett, Leon Barnett, Ward and even Russell Martin can play centre half.The people who slate Ward and Leon B with absolutely no facts or stats to back it up typify Norwich fans in that they pick a player and criticise everything- no matter what.Elliott Ward is perfectly good enough for the Premiership.

Beauseant 0 Posted August 7, 2012 Just a quick question for those getting anxious. Would you rather we spent all our budget early in the window or keep most of it up our sleeve until we had a clear idea of what was available, and who was likely to be surplus to requirements elsewhere?

When Saturday Comes 0 Posted August 7, 2012 I still think (based on last season) that Russell Martin is one of our best centre-backs. Shame Whittaker got injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stig 0 Posted August 7, 2012 Well... bugger.Fingers crossed for a name or two in to make us feel better. Talk of Ward off to the same place, which would be just barmy. Maybe, just maybe Davies is coming afterall - who knows! I''m not too worried about the centre back, it''s the right and left I''m worried for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 0 Posted August 7, 2012 Great move! We are well covered at centre back. Ayala can develop well at Forest. Bennett and Turner probable starters - Ward, Barnett, Martin as cover. Well sorted at centre back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gnasher 0 Posted August 7, 2012 Obviously a signing or two are in the works, we are light of full back cover and as I fully expect russell martin to start at RB (though i prefer him at CB), that leaves only Bennett, Turner, Ward and Barnett.Personally very disappointed, Ayala is one of the most promising players we have imo, and I don''t believe Ward is good enough - based on the games I watched last year I might add Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
87canary 0 Posted August 7, 2012 No one appears to have mentioned that Whittaker can also play CB when he gets back from injury.Hope Ayala gets some good experience under his belt. Thought he had a good pass on him, but just can''t back it up with the tackling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeonYellow 4 Posted August 7, 2012 More players coming in for sure, hopefully Davies although that may be wishful thinking! Sky Sports stating Forest want Ward too so you never know :)Not a bad move, Ayala was very shaky and needs game time or he will stagnate a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dubai Mark 0 Posted August 7, 2012 It feels like this will end with an incoming CB even though we do have decent cover, and if Ward (one horrific game last season, solid in the rest) moves then would be a shock and surely signal a major signing. For me though, as I mentioned on a previous post, this is CH''s first mistake and I am sure, just like PL he wont make many this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 318 Posted August 7, 2012 Another place freed up on the squad, lets see some additions Danny Rose LB on loan perhaps and RB from Liverpool? Still can''t believe Ward or Barnett still in contention. Hope we can call back if necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyCanary 0 Posted August 7, 2012 1 thing I will say is that if any manager is going to know defenders ability it''s going to be CH.Let''s just see what happens, defensively we''ve been solid so far this pre-season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
