yet another name? Alderweireld of Ajax

[Tetteys Jig 830]

And not a sniff from sky or the british media. It''s as if we don''t exist!

[Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557]

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.

We will get a "Sky Sports understands" soon.....

We once sent one of our not needed players there!(Colin)

[Cantiaci Canary 556]

I hope we have enough left over for two quality strikers.

 

Do we really need to splash £8M on a CB?

[city-till-i-die 7]

Imho Yes we do. Because without bassong we look VERY shaky at the back.

[Buzz Killington 0]

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.

I''m sure Mcnally is more aware of our financial capabilities than you.

[LondonCanary 12]

£6.9m agreed but sounds like personal terms won''t work out

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.

[Kangaroo Court 0]

It was a quote from a Belgian paper. Idiot.

[Canary Ascent 0]

It wasn''t a quote in reference to a move to Norwich either. It was said at least three months ago http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2306186/Ajax-Belgium-defender-Toby-Alderweireld-gives-green-light-Liverpool-move.html

He may have changed his opinion.

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

[Kangaroo Court 0]

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.

[Snoddys Jockstrap 0]

Not really hopeful of this happening at all

One of the biggest possible signings ever for Norwich City... wants a few more days to decide the entire future of his career...and a few morons on here use a Daily Mail quote (taken from when he was linked with Liverpool) to slate him.We really do have them on here don''t we !!

Indeed. Marc "I''ll never play for Norwich" Tierney and Alan "I''d never play for Man U" Smith come to mind...

[Excited Canary 19]

@davidmcnally62: “@hughfranklin666: Mail Online quote interview with Alderwierld in it he states he doesn''t want join midtable team” ah,must be true then

[Herman 9,713]

Aaargh. Football fans and twitter. A bad mix!

[Snoddys Jockstrap 0]

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.

[Excited Canary 19]

I wouldn''t have thought McNally would respond to that tweet like that if he had already turned us down?

[Stig 0]

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!

[Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0]

RELAX!

IMHO - what is important is signing Fer and two strikers. Anybody else is a bonus.

 

[Snoddys Jockstrap 0]

stig get out of the thread if you have a problem with it. Nobody gives a sh*t about your views on impatience. Shut up. All this build up is part of the fun.

[Canaries Utd 0]

I''m not really up to speed on Twitter, was it McNallys response "Ah, must be true then"?

[Excited Canary 19]

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)

[Canaries Utd 0]

Yep, I agree EC, a little bit of McNally sarcasm perhaps?!?
