Mason 47 1,373 Posted July 9, 2013 Not exactly what you would call the news of the century- or even the day- but we''ve signed a 20-year-old Spaniard from Betis B to our reserves.He comes into the squad on a whopping #51 judging by the picture of himself at training on twitter.Hooray! Transfer news! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadingCanary 0 Posted July 9, 2013 Have we actually signed Nash as well?He seems to be in Austria .... but no one has said he''s a Norwich player ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil 0 Posted July 9, 2013 Nash is on trial at the moment I''m guessing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vazzza 62 Posted July 9, 2013 1 assist in 9 games for Betis B. Definitely one for the future. What does this say for Butterfield now, who has not only Hoolahan and Howson in front of him, but also some very promising looking signings, and now a younger model waiting in the wings behind him...I''ve gotta say though, obviously never heard of this guy so will have to wait and see. 20 isn''t exactly young for a future prospect though...

Mason 47 1,373 Posted July 9, 2013 Using Twitter as an exact science (as is the true and clear purpose of the site, naturally) I would say so, given that he''s told everyone he''s in Austria at the training camp and both Ruddy and El Bennett follow him.Hooray! Somewhat unreliable transfer news! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rolf Harris 31 Posted July 9, 2013 For the under21 then hopefully he''s good at passing and has superb technique. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vazzza 62 Posted July 9, 2013 Looks like he enjoys a good smoke of the wacky backy in that picture!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,078 Posted July 13, 2013 What is interesting about this for me is what it implies about our scouting network (if anything).Will he be classed as being signed for the academy? Is this a direct result of academy 1 status or nothing to do with it?OT but I also thought Simeon Jacksons move to Germany was odd. Cant think he''s been scouted so must be agent or contacts?

Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted July 13, 2013 If he signs, he''d be eligible for the first team without taking one of the 25 places (like Redmond). Would think he''s play for the development squad mostly though. Another triallist, Bertrand Alang, scored twice against Fakenham today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings of a Sparrow 1,410 Posted July 13, 2013 Is that a training top or did I miss some news about the away shirt?Kit looks smart either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SheringhamCanary 0 Posted July 13, 2013 He played at Fakenham today, played quite deep, looked tidy on the ball as you''d expect for a spaniard. Looked promising from a brief sighting against a minimal opposition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 0 Posted July 13, 2013 According to various web sources he is an attacking midfielder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 14, 2013 seems a very odd one given our level. I could understand a 17/18 year old, but at 20, you''re looking at someone who can get straight in ths squad like Redmond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
