Standard Beagle 0 Posted July 3, 2013 "Norwich poised to sign German Under 19s striker Hans Babel of Hallescher FC. The forward netted 28 goals in all competitions last season." - The Guardian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil 0 Posted July 3, 2013 To be honest I stopped believing this as soon as the word "Guardian" came up.Usually not the best place for football transfers. Cricket yes. Football no.But stranger things have happened. If we did sign him I could see him being sent out on loan for a season, because the step up from Hallescher to the EPL is a very big one and would probably need to have a stepping stone in the middle.

Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted July 4, 2013 What a baffling story! - reminds me of the time Mrs Mustard returned from the hairdressers having heard the local sports news: Mrs M: "Just heard on the radio Norwich have signed a new player from Preston". Me and my eldest: "Really? - who''s that?" Mrs M: "Oh I can''t remember...Royston Wah-Wah or something..." Me & my eldest (puzzled & in unison): WHO? Mrs M: "He used to play for Manchester City too apparently"... "Is there a player called Royston Wah-Wah then?"... Me & my eldest (again in unison): "NO! - who on earth are you talking about?" We logged on to the computer to discover we''d signed Dickson Etuhu! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Ink 0 Posted July 4, 2013 Perhaps it''s 26 yr old Ajax midfielder (ex-Liverpool) Ryan Babel.He''ll get on well with our Ryan, as he famously posted a picture of Howard Web in a Man U shirt on Twitter and got fined 10K for it back in 2011. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
