Oh well they have realised the back-up they have IE Obika and Rodders aren't good enough

 

[Doc Lynam]

It does not specify that we are after a striker, just a goalscorer. Could be a midfielder or anything.

Frank Lampard?

Back of the Argus says Striker, but I think we need both anyway

 

[Grombleton]

It has been mentioned on the Loan window thread that Becchio is IN the Norwich 25 man squad, so won't be going on loan anywhere.

I don't think that because they're in the 25 that they cannot go out on loan somewhere...it just reduces the chances of it. They might allow him out for game time, especially with him being behind Van Wolfswinkel, Hooper & Elmander in the pecking order.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

the time is right , the other contenders did us a huge favour on Saturday , so we must grab this dog's chance with both hands....Fryatt , Becchio would be good.

Both in their clubs 25 man squads, so unlikely but technically possible.

I don't think the penny has finally dropped. More likely, the club were waiting until the time when a loanee would be able to take part in the play-offs (if needed).

Is Benno back in Norwich's 25 now he's fit again?

Yes, unfortunately for any hopes of loaning him.

Bugger!
Had hoped (sorry Elliott) that he might have recovered too late for them to risk a place.

It's irrelevant if they're in the 25 or not. Obika is in the Spurs 25 man squad. Unbelievable as that may seem.

That viewpoint raises the possibility of us getting Wilbraham.

Or Gayle

What, the blokes who are lightning quick and hadn't played any football whatsoever for 6 months & 3 months respectively before joining us and have two starts between them?

You're right. Probably best we write them off completely already. Stephens too.
And CMS and Hoskins: they've made no impact this season so they have to go.

Hes not named in the 25, he's allowed to feature as he's underage

I think you'll find he is.

Probably worth mentioning that he's there mainly to help with the home-grown stipulation.

 

[KZNSeagull]

I think the penny dropped a long time ago - they are just reiterating it now as we have not signed anyone yet, therefore leading to endless speculation.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Has anyone seen Ade Akinfenwa at Brighton Station yet ?

Oh absolutely, yes.
