The same Sven who has just said about 10 minutes ago that the deal for Long is one we are unlikely to see completed by the weekend but is still a possibility?

I've heard he's bought a house on Warwick Road.

 

[Scodger Cubs]

30 years old, I have a feeling we will sign someone else as well.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

I think this would be a decent enough buy. We can then look to go back for Nicky Maynard again in January or at the end of the season.

Do Norwich really see James Vaughan as a better player than Grant Holt? If so it's going to be a painful season for them I reckon

 

[Scotfox]

Why would he move to Carlisle? He could easily move to Braunstone or Beumont Leys if he wanted to live in those sort of posh surroundings

They might still have other targets. They're a week behind us.

Holt for me won't cut it in the Prem, but he's proved he's good enough in our league. £2m is a reasonable price, and will see Norwich make a decent return of approx £1.6m on the guy that fired them in to the Prem.

I don't understand why he would come back to the Championship when he's already a Premiership player with Norwich?

Even though Holt is unblikely to cut it in the Prem he is more likely to give it a decent go than Vaughan and that guy from Millwall IMO.

Just like Mills who reportedly turned down Prem clubs to sign for us?

V. disappointing, if true (which I'm sure it isn't)

Yes but Matt Mills wasn't already in the Premiership, although point taken.

Really? This guy was unstoppable in this division last year.

If we signed Messi, Homer wouldn't be happy .....

I watched that intrerview and he never confirmed we had put a bid for Long.

Did you read what I wrote?

 

[Kingy_85]

This is crazy. Surely Beckham will turn up before this guy?

Not that I wouldn't want him!

 

[Uncle Connolly]

I'd be happy with this one considering his antics last season.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Well 50+ goals in two years is good whichever divisions he was in.

Bargain price of £2million leaves us £5million for someone else as well.

We probably need a couple more midfielders! :icon_wink

It seems a bit odd that Norwich do not think they need him, unless he has been a naughty boy, took a dump in the back of the chairman's car etc.
