Mister Chops 7 Posted July 10, 2013 [quote user="Bethnal Yellow and Green"][quote user="Jan van Chopsburg"]Tweet from FC Twente account:To our English followers: @LeroyFer8 currently in Norwich for a medical. #fctwente #ncfc #efc[/quote]That''s a fan site, although a surprisingly popular one. The bio says ''Twente Online is een fansite, niet de officiƫle clubsite'' - even without speaking Dutch I think I can work out what that means [;)][/quote]Well, that''s Twitter for you. Girls will be boys and boys will be girls, or whatever it was by the Kinks. Still, why would they make that up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 10, 2013 Exactly, why would the fans want to hear that? I could imagine our unofficial sites making stuff like that up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonzey 0 Posted July 10, 2013 If the Pinkun is reporting he is in the city for a medical it''s looking odds on now. The major obstacle will be him actually passing the medical if he failed one at Everton in January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanna Grey 0 Posted July 10, 2013 Failed the medical yet still went on to play 30 games for Club and Country. Ho hum.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,373 Posted July 10, 2013 I imagine McNally and Co. are far too stringent to have gone this far down the line without finding out exactly why he supposedly failed that medical and if it would be a problem.Got a really good feeling about this player. Will hopefully cut out the goals we conceded last year by players just powering through our CM (Bale etc). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bert sneakers 0 Posted July 10, 2013 Calm down and let these things run there course, nothing to be achieved by plane spotting.Seems to be all coming together nicely fingers crossed.Lets hope Fer signs up and goes out with something to prove to Everton on the opening day.What a good time to support Norwich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Shirt 17 Posted July 10, 2013 Before we count our chickens... I just read this on Skysports.com:When asked about Norwich signing Fer, his agent Rob Jansen told Tubantia: "There are actually several offers for Fer." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROBFLECK 132 Posted July 10, 2013 De Telegraaf (renomated paper in Holland):Leroy Fer wordt woensdag medisch gekeurd bij Norwich City. Dat betekent een spannende dag voor de speler van FC Twente, want eerder zag hij een wintertransfer naar Everton nog afketsen op de staat van zijn knie.LF is going to have a medical at NCFC today. This means it is an exciting day for the FC Twente player, because he saw a move to Everton during the winter break down because of a knee injury Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Shirt 17 Posted July 10, 2013 We need to be giving long contracts to this quality of player- if they shine like we hope they will they will be tough to hold on to after a year or two so we are really keeping up the value of the player. The next logical step in our evolution is to be a stepping stone club for a few seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lets be aving you! 0 Posted July 10, 2013 The article in the Telegraaf (the best-selling paper in the Netherlands) says that FC Twente and Norwich have reached agreement on the transfer. It adds that we''ve merely ''shown interest'' in Toivonen and Alderweireld. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReadingCanary 0 Posted July 10, 2013 Presume Fer will have all his stuff wrapped up tonight / tomorrow.It was widely reported Olsson had started his medical yesterday so only seems logical he was announced first. Unless someone else has come in for FerDUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Brownstone 0 Posted July 10, 2013 This would be a huge signing if we can get it tied up, just as big as RVW. If it''s towards the ā¬5m end of the ā¬5m-ā¬8m price quoted in the press, then it''s an absolute bargain too. Get him signed up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
