Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 12, 2013 Agreeing a deal with Ajax for Alderweireld was always going to be easy - convincing the player to leave the Dutch Champions and Champions League Football is going to be the tricky part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted July 12, 2013 I hope we have enough left over for two quality strikers. Do we really need to splash £8M on a CB? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city-till-i-die 7 Posted July 12, 2013 Imho Yes we do. Because without bassong we look VERY shaky at the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz Killington 0 Posted July 12, 2013 Yes we do. Bassong and turner are quality together, but both spent time out injured last season. It''d be nice to not panic as soon as one of those two is out for a fortnight. To be honest, I can''t believe some of the players we''re after. A real step up from what we''re used to.

Kangaroo Court 0 Posted July 12, 2013 So he said ''I do not want to play in an English club to mid-table.'' In that case he can F- off. We don''t want some dithering idiot who doesn''t really want to play for us coming here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Ascent 0 Posted July 12, 2013 It wasn''t a quote in reference to a move to Norwich either.

Of course not, they go there because they will earn huge money.Nobody from abroad is going to set his sights on playing for Norwich, what will tempt them is premiership football and high wages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kangaroo Court 0 Posted July 12, 2013 A player needs to say yes or no. If he''s dithering then he''s no use to us. We need hungry players who actually want to play for us if we don''t want to be the next QPR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snoddys Jockstrap 0 Posted July 12, 2013 The Times are saying tomorrow that Alderweireld has turned us down, despite fee being agreed. To be fair, I do know the reporter and he is a bit of a mong so he''s probably guessing - they don''t have a reporter in Norwich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excited Canary 19 Posted July 12, 2013 I wouldn''t have thought McNally would respond to that tweet like that if he had already turned us down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stig 0 Posted July 12, 2013 Might just be my long shift at work talking but DAMN!!! I am so bored of this already. The impatience on here is ridiculous, at the moment he either is or isn''t coming and that is the same for Fer and Toivonen and until the twitter announcement we won''t know otherwise and neither will some newspaper journalist so bog off with the same quotes being translated a billion different ways!

Excited Canary 19 Posted July 12, 2013 Yes that was his reply. I may just be clutching at straws here but I interpreted his response as quite promising (i.e Alderweireld hasn''t turned us down and McNally seems quite confident) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
