There seems to be a lot of anecdotal evidence that he is not great at centre back which is where any vacancy would be - given that he'll hardly come here to be deputy right back to Bruno.

Can cover a centre back and play right back makes him a good match day 18 option though.

Also there is likely to be a vacancy at right back in the next year or so.

So we are left with........

Dunk. - fit but subject to transfer speculation
Goldson. - not fit. Minor injury so should get a pre-season in.
Hunemeier - not fit until early September

Hall. - untried and untested 19 year old

Not overly auspicious. Mind you, Greer hadn't got himself fixed up yet. Could do a job?

That's my take on it too. It's going to be a long hard season, and with possible injuries and suspensions I feel he will get the chance to play plenty of minutes in the first team, either at full back or centre half.

It's all about the fee though. I certainly wouldn't be prepared to pay over the odds for him.

I also like he's got out of this division as a captain. Huge bonus in my thinking. He's a leader as was Greer

Martin for me would be a signing similar to that one of Rosenior, just with a fee as he is not out of contract.

Both have similar career paths with significant time in the top flight.

Excellent signing it would be.

Have just heard that Russell Martin has left norwich's pre season tour of Austria to see a specialist over a back injury.
Or is he having a medical somewhere.

Let's hope we don't sign someone with a back injury then!

This is definitely true as I just watched Air Ambulance UK and it was in Norwich and there was a bloke in a Norwich shirt.
