Viva Marc Libbra 0 Posted August 25, 2012 @TransferQuantum: Norwich have shifted their focus to 26-year old Hannover 96 striker Mohammed Abdellaoue, seen as an ideal partner for Grant Holt. #NCFC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 28 Posted August 25, 2012 Just a twitter rumour, but I guess it''s obvious we''d be going for a striker now and he''s been linked before. Any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryOne 0 Posted August 25, 2012 Is it a partner for Holt we need though ? same source saying we have ended our interest in Biglia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 28 Posted August 25, 2012 This article on the 15th August about him says he doesn''t want to leave (after he was linked to Swansea)http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/hannover/transfer-talk/news/abdellaoue-to-reject-swansea_40339.htmlThe 26-year-old, who scored 16 goals for Hannover last season, has been linked with a move to Swansea City in recent weeks, but he has quelled such claims. "I am a Hannover player and I like playing for this club. I have two more years left on my contract. I am staying with Hannover," he told Bild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted August 26, 2012 I wouldn''t worry too much about player quotes, they will almost always say ''I''m happy at X'', but in the end it means bog all. The links with Abdellaoue do seem to have been fairly frequent throughout the summer so perhaps there is something in it...we have also just signed Tettey, a fellow Norwegian international, so perhaps that will have some bearing on things, who knows.

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted August 26, 2012 There has been a lot of talk about us and him of late. If he can score goals in the german league he will get them here. he seems just the type of player we need. He will not make a difference ingames like Fulham but in narrow games like yesterday he could be the difference between a win or draw. With Vaughan gone i suspect a deal for someone may be near completion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The twitter from him I have seen is:a new striker will arrive this week. One of two players from Premier League. no idea who Unless that is badly worded not one or two but one of two. Which seems to indicate only one player (a striker) to be chosen from a shortlist of two PL candidates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As he wasn''t with a bloke with a badge that says "I''m new and my name''s Mohammed", I have concluded there is no truth to this rumour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gince 0 Posted August 27, 2012 As a fan of Hannover and Norwich I can say he is the sort of player NCFC could do with. He does tend to go missing in matches and can be quite lazy BUT when it comes to getting a chance dropping at his feet he will stick it in the net, he also has a good turn of pace.He is currently injured hence not being in the squad for the match against Schalke, he came back to pre-season with a knock and although he has played in some of the matches he isn''t 100% fit anywayI seriously doubt this is true, Hannover are really looking to make a statement this season with a trophy after stablising (however it is spelt) in the Bundesliga after nearly getting relegated (3??? seasons ago...the same day we got the League 1 trophy) and they only have 4 strikers in their squad Ya Konan, Abdellaoue, Diouf (formerly of Man U) and Sobiech. With the likelihood of Diouf & Ya Konan going to the African Nations they would be very reluctant to sell at present without a replacement. BUT stranger things have happened.
