Lets be aving you! 0 Posted July 9, 2013 Google Translate is pretty poor at the best of times. The last paragraph says that Fer was due to report back to FC Twente after his extended holiday, but was not on the team bus going to Marienfeld (Germany) where his club has its training camp. It was initially assumed that Fer had been given longer holiday time, but it was eventually recognised that he had been given "more time off with a view to an imminent transfer". Sounds very interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joanna Grey 0 Posted July 9, 2013 It''s funny that his agent is saying there are plenty more offers yet we have heard nothing about them. Especially more so when our Club usually like to keep a tight lid on transfer business yet we are the one out in the open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Militant Canary 0 Posted July 9, 2013 Fer and Alderweireld in Norwich with agents'' (and Dad, in Alderweireld''s case) having a look around the facilities, apparently. Not the most reliable source, if truth be told. Nonetheless, it fits and, if true, we know McNally can sell the club to them. Ambition! You wanted it and here it is.

*** 0 Posted July 9, 2013 I''m probably way out here but didn''t Fer fail a medical at Everton? Or have bitter Villa fans got that wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted July 9, 2013 What does it matter what happened at Everton? We''ll run a medical and if he passes then all is good. Ba failed one at Stoke and he''s done well enough since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC 0 Posted July 9, 2013 The murmurs are that he didn''t fail the medical. Everton wanted to lower the price at last minute citing the knee injury Fer had been suffering from in Nov/Dec 2012. Twente didn''t want to sell for lower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted July 9, 2013 ....also, that the deal largely depended on the one with the big hair moving on, and he didn''t. I doubt there''s anything to worry about with the guy, if he passes the medical (if, indeed, he is going to sign). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woody279 0 Posted July 10, 2013 I''m currently at Saxon air waiting to go offshore and a guy just came walking past that had just arrived on a private jet, I googled leroy fer because I''m not sure what he looks like and there was a canny resemblance, being stalked by 2 stunning blonde and an older guy maybe his dad or agent. I''m not saying its definitely him but just maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicko 0 Posted July 10, 2013 Yup michael bailey''s tweets:So, there are suggestions from Enschede that Leroy Fer is in Norwich for a medical, with a 5yr deal on the table. #ncfc #pinkunSuggests a deal of 5-8m Euros, with ex-club Rotterdam getting some of that. Says Everton''s interest hasn''t been as strong as Jan. #ncfcWorth adding the fact Martin Olsson was in Norwich having his medical yesterday, we understand. So could be an interesting few days. #ncfc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 10, 2013 Just checked that flight to make sure someone wasn''t playing the usual bull5h1t trick and it''s actually for real! Fer is on his way over! Hopefully we bundled Toby and Ola onto the flight too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eadienhucks 0 Posted July 10, 2013 [quote user="Canary Willo"]I think this ''Unless other club comes in'' is because these reporters are just shocked we are competing for these players. If you live outside Norfolk there is little chance you have any idea of our financial state, debt free, so most Journos/clubs are expecting us to aim our sights lower.... Its good fun watching some of them on Twitter writing about us while thinking Norwich?? WTF????[/quote] I have family,who come from London,most support the ammers but one uncle and 2 cousins ,support spurs,and are surprised we didn''t attract bigger players before,because of support,and they love this area when they visit....Very jealous when we signed the wolf though....
