David Strover Posted 13 July, 2013 Share Posted 13 July, 2013 Norwich sign Leroy Fer from Twente. Another excellent signing from them. Well I guess we'll see if the amount of signings Norwich and Sunderland and to a lesser extent Swansea are makjng work. Several posters here, particularly last season, seem to think signing loads of players, any players, would work. Personally I'm not convinced that Norwich's policy is going to work - I have a feeling people might be surprised how they do, and I don't mean that in a positive sense either. Same with Saints I suppose - signing on a superstar forward, who could also be a new type of personality type and attitude, might actually be a big mistake. Time will tell...

Saint Martini Posted 13 July, 2013 Share Posted 13 July, 2013 He'll still end up there IMO. He's said in an interview he didn't want to go to Norwich because their style of play doesn't suit him very well. He wants to be involved in the build-up whereas I suppose Norwich will have a more direct & counterattacking style. It does mean that we would have a good chance if we were interested. Our style of play isn't that different from Ajax so he wouldn't have to adapt too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I see of Norwich they are strengthening what was essentially a weak spine, the players they have picked seem to be good types. It wouldnt surprise me at all if they ended up mid table.

It wouldnt surprise me at all if they ended up mid table. I think what you're also seeing is how the new TV deal will change the landscape. You wouldn't have seen Norwich going for this level of player last year, but they now have the extra clout to do so - same as Swansea. If you're financially well run and on a decent footing, the increased money can enable you to make some real strides. Will be interesting to see how the rest of the window takes shape.

Saint Garrett Posted 13 July, 2013 Share Posted 13 July, 2013 Most interesting one for me will be WBA. Had an excellent season last year, but without Lukaku they may struggle. Anelka is an exciting signing for them but he's 34 now, can't see him playing every week ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldnt surprise me at all if they ended up mid table. Definitely - Norwich have added two young players of genuine international quality in Fer and RVW, and in Redmond have added to their stable of useful wingers. Far from being a scatter-gun recruitment campaign, I'd say they've strengthened their squad a fair bit, in pretty much exactly the areas they were lacking.

sentry Posted 13 July, 2013 Share Posted 13 July, 2013 WBA I think will be forced to strengthen. They have been very tight with the pennies in recent years and rightly so, a very well run club, but with the loss of Lukaku this year, not much depth (when Yacob and Muloumbu were out they really suffered) I think they will struggle unless they bring in two or three decent signings. No way will they finish top 8 again, their form from Jan was religation form ( except for that embarrassing win against us). Norwich , with the signings they have made on top of a few reliable players should be fine, Swansea should do well, seemed to go off pace after the cup final but they should be fine. Everton for me will drop a few places and Liverpool too if they loose Suarez. Really really really looking forward to this season, with the changes at the top of the league and the 'smaller' clubs investing in some decent talent should be a great season.

Saint Garrett Posted 13 July, 2013 Share Posted 13 July, 2013 It's certainly going to be a bit different with the top teams having a shake up, as well as a lot of the middle teams pushing on. Some could collapse like Newcastle did last season, and others could really surprise like WBA did, very exciting! Can't believe it's still over a month away!

Far from being a scatter-gun recruitment campaign, I'd say they've strengthened their squad a fair bit, in pretty much exactly the areas they were lacking. All I am saying from years of watching football in this country, I am an old git, if it was as simple as cherry picking good players from around Europe every single team with a bit of money would do it and finish mid-to-top-six and that is clearly not the case. I am betting that one of the clubs, that a few posters are salivating over on this Forum, might end up much lower down the table than is predicted..I have a sneaking suspicion that Norwich may not do as well as they clearly think they are going to. A great looking team-sheet does not win you any games. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 14 July, 2013 Share Posted 14 July, 2013 Back to the subject... just listening to the Press Pass on Talksport, and they were talking about Liverpool targets. The Ajax defender Toby Alderweireld was mentioned, and one of the journalists said that they thought Southampton would scupper that as they were interested in him. He then probably blew any credibility by saying Ryan Bertrand wouldn't go to Liverpool either and indicated that some sort of swap with Luke Shaw.

saints_is_the_south Posted 14 July, 2013 Share Posted 14 July, 2013 Norwich's bid for Alderweireld was reported to be £6.9m & accepted by Ajax. Bit of a bargain, I'd put him in the £10-12m bracket. Would love to see us put a bid in and get him, we'd have two top class CL standard centre backs then. Christ, imagine getting him, Banega, Damiao and Stoch plus Lovren and Wanyama. We'd definitely have a side capable of knocking on the door of the top 6 or 7. Dreaming a bit now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS1980 Posted 14 July, 2013 Share Posted 14 July, 2013 I wonder if Forren leaving means we now need a centre back or whether they knew he would leave and that's why Fonte or Jos hasn't been sold instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
