St Georgey 0 Posted June 30, 2014 One of the most promising and consistent strikers at that level. And after all, Wiz, that is now our level. Hopefully just for the one season. I''d rather Jordan Rhodes though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 851 Posted June 30, 2014 I''d love him at Norwich. I think he''s a shoe in to get 20+ goals at this level. It''d no doubt spell the end for one of RvW or Hooper though. We surely won''t go into the season with 6 strikers and Loza and Morris as well! There would be some unhappy benchwarmers if that were the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St Georgey 0 Posted June 30, 2014 Jimmy I''d much rather Deeney than Hooper. I''d also much rather Rhodes than Hooper. Goes without saying that I''d prefer either of them over RVW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFCgardener 0 Posted June 30, 2014 Would be a superb signing if we can get him, powerful and quick with an eye for goal. If we do land him, it must mean that one or two are heading out. I would rather we started looking at other areas of the squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted June 30, 2014 He was my top choice of all strikers we could realistically sign going into the summer. I''d be very happy if we got him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Gay Schoolboy 0 Posted June 30, 2014 I''m somewhat worried that all this focus on strikers is missing the point. Barring departures we''ve got enough firepower now, we need to be spending whats left of our budget on at least one player who can actually play incisive through balls with regularity. We''ll get nowhere if we rely on the stodgy midfield trio of Hughton favourites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoareyou? 0 Posted June 30, 2014 I would guess it means RVW and Hooper are on their way out if this is true.Like has already been said. Who is going to supply these strikers with the ball to score all these goals? We failed miserably on that last year and so far don''t seem to be linked with anyone who will change that.

How many players are out there that can "play incisive through balls with regularity"? And how many of them would come to Norwich? Just a change of approach would make a difference, I think. Hughton''s fear of being caught out at the back and insistence on sticking to a rigid shape played a big part in stifling our attacking play - more so than the actual personnel involved.

Tetteys Jig 851 Posted June 30, 2014 It looks like we''ll be going back to 2 up front and more direct wingers. I think a solid 2 of Tettey and Fer should be our first choice with Howson the main challenger or in there if we go with the 3 man midfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted June 30, 2014 I imagine Norwich are looking at a couple of strikers for the senario that Hooper is sold, would be silly of them not to identify targets in advance. With RVW its more a matter of ''when'' he goes rather than ''if'' - on the slim chance he''s still at Norwich come September it won''t be for the want to trying to get him out. Same probably applies to Becchio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Gay Schoolboy 0 Posted June 30, 2014 [quote user="GJP"]If we have Fer, Howson, Surman and Tettey (plus Johnson and maybe Hoolahan) how many better midfields are there going to be in the league?[/quote]Fer won''t be playing Norwich come the start of the season and it remains to be seen if Surman and Hoolahan are going to be reintegrated into the squad, if they are great, we''re sorted, I am unconvinced that they will be. The other 3 are terminally incapable of passing forwards to a yellow shirt.[quote]How many players are out there that can "play incisive through balls with regularity"?

The ones that would come to Norwich are the ones currently paid less than we can offer. If you want a name I think we should be going all out to get Lansbury back.[quote]Just a change of approach would make a difference, I think. Hughton''s fear of being caught out at the back and insistence on sticking to a rigid shape played a big part in stifling our attacking play - more so than the actual personnel involved.[/quote]Agreed, but no amount of tactical change is going to turn Johnson and Tettey into playmakers.

Yelloow Since 72 56 Posted June 30, 2014 I think the Deeney rumour is going back to a bid made before Lafferty was brought in, but maybe not.It''s possible that Adams is looking to use a 4-4-2, but it''s also possible that he''s thinking of a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1, given that Grabban and Lafferty can play out wide as well. Even Deeney was played out wide much of the time by MacKay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you''ve only named Lansbury. He played one great ball for us when he first arrived but more often than not he gave the ball away cheaply and couldn''t actually cement himself as a first choice in the team. I''m not saying I don''t rate Lansbury because I do think he''s a decent sort of player and I''d have him in the squad here. But I wouldn''t say he''s a better player than Surman, Howson or Fer - and hopefully we''ll have Fer here next season, though it might seem unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari_2 0 Posted June 30, 2014 Hooper, Grabban, Lafferty and Deeney, now that would be a frighting strikeforce. With Becchio and Wolf always likely to move on it certainly doesn''t feel too farfetched to me.Still early in the summer so I''m not worried about lack of other positions coming in.
