If we end up paying anywhere near £17m for Carroll to sit on the bench and for cameo roles then I won't be happy. Our tightness has lost us Debuchy to Real Madrid and now we are wasting money on a player who doesn't suit our new style of play whatsoever. If Downing, Gerrard, Adam, Sterling can't provide for Carroll then god knows how he's going to fair with Obertan & Gutierrez providing the crosses. Must admit the signings of Anita, Bigi, Good & Amalfitano have slightly disappointed me. Our rivals have jumped us considerably.

Andy Carrolls best move remains West Ham. He'll be the centerpoint of the attack, Nolan can look after him and he can rebuild his reputation

I don't agree.

If we keep hold of Cabaye, Tiote, Demba and Colo this has been a very good summer.

Bigi, Good and Amalfitano are good signings and Anita will be a good player for us.

When you think that our midfield will be...

Marveaux
Hatem
Tiote
Cabaye
Jonas
Anita
Bigi
Romain
Obertan
Vuckic

That's not that bad.

Granted, Debuchy would be a good signing, but is it really worth haggling over someone like that? I don't recall clubs lining up to buy him and we've got some talented young defenders i'd like to see given a chance.

I'd take Carroll back providing the deal is right. It would be another option up top.

There's still time, i think we'll have 2 new faces in by tomorrow night.

I agree about Carroll, all he needs to do is go to the Hammers on loan, rebuild his career, he should score a decent amount of goals and then have much better options next season. I still think Liverpool need him though.

I really hope Arsenal sneakily buy Dzeko, but not at the expense of Walcott. We still need a full back though! and a Defensive midfielder since Wenger for some reason decided to get rid of our best midfielder from last year (and the year before) ARGH!

I am just praying that we manage to sign a striker by tomorrow midnight. Like literally praying

Pablo Hernandez is close but not done yet

Nigel De Jong off to Milan

Oviedo to Everton for 5m

Maicons latest destonation seems to be Man City

Why didn't we go for De Jong??? unless Citey wouldn't sell him to us.

Everton are building a nice squad, it's amazing what Moyles does with such a tiny budget

De Jong is a limited player

Not really a tiny budget when you think he got £20m for Rodwell.

He has spent it well though.

He's still a good defensive midfielder and I'd say better/more reliable than what we've got (and better than Barry whose still at Citey)

He's a thug and doesn't really offer much.

I just hope we don't get forced into making a rash decision because of the countdown and pay £17m. The offer I would only take is a loan for the rest of the season with the possibility of a £12-15m permanent transfer in the summer. However it appears Liverpool want to sell now and have rejected the loan offer route completely. Two new faces would be good in terms of squad depth for europe. Who are the two though, Carroll & Douglas?

Savic off to Fiorentina

He and Jovetic can share a hairdresser

Douglas is a possibility.

M'Vila from Rennes has been linked. Carroll is a possibility, Tovianen?

I think they will spring a surprise.

I don't rate that Toivonen from PSV even though he's got a good record in Holland, would prefer Carroll if I'm being honest. Douglas has to decide between Fulham or Newcastle, surely that's not a hard decision. Can't see M'vila at NUFC, especially as we have Cheick & Bigi already there.

Was Savic the worst PL defender of all time?

If he chooses Fulham, lets hope he turns out to be as good as Ruiz was.

M'vila i would still take.

Bigi is one for the future!

Nah Savic is worse than them.

Rumours on twitter are that Norwich are in for Craig Mackail Smith from Brighton. Please be just rumours, please

Trust me, he is not. I don't think it is humanly possible

Marcelino, Boumsong, Bramble & O'Brien & Ramage........we've had them all!

Mackail Smith........unlucky!

Marcelino and his bad finger that stopped him playing for 6 months!

Sessegnon signs new contract

I give you Alan Hutton

Jean-Alain Boumsong!! Rangers legend, he was terrible in Scotland. Still, 27 caps for France.

They must've seen us coming when we bid £8m!!

Sky Sports ‏@SkySports
Sky Sports understands Norwich have tabled a bid for Brighton striker Craig Mackail-Smith

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

oh lawd thats funny.

Shouldve gone for Blackstock when we had no cash

Juve agree fee for Bendtner

I mean he could be good, you never know. But if we wanted a striker who was just gonna put in a shift we might as well have kept Wilbraham

He cost 2.4m last year

BBC website claiming Everton will beat West Brom to the signature of Costa Rican left back/left midfielder Bryan Oviedo after Copenhagen failed to qualify for the champions league

IanJTaylor
#QPR have reached agreement with Real Madrid for the permanent transfer of midfielder Esteban Granero ... #QPR

Marcelino has to be up there with worst defenders, barely played most of the time due to his hurty finger.

What a step down in class.

Wasn't wrong with Mackail-Smith?

Hes an average Championship striker.

A lot of the Norwich players were seen as average Championship players before they were promoted..

We do need a striker, and I will back any player we sign to the hills. I'm not gonna judge him before he plays a Premier League game, because you do never know. I mean I don't think any Norwich fans would have thought Holt and Morison would have scored as many as they did last season. But going off what CMS has done in the Championship, he doesn't seem to have the quality for the Premier League. But you do never know

Some still are...

More will probably regress back to that...

No love for Pablo Hernadez here?

I think that is incredibly harsh GSC. Just because they have come from the lower leagues, doesn't mean they can't make the step up to become Premier League players

Olly wrote:I think that is incredibly harsh GSC. Just because they have come from the lower leagues, doesn't mean they can't make the step up to become Premier League players

Chris Smalling came from Non League to play for Man United.

Doesn't mean they will either.

Nothing I've seen from CMS suggests to me he can cut it. Good work effort but lack of quality.

Does the signing of Berbatov hold off the doom mongers about Fulham?

Kaboul is out for four months, can see Dawson staying until at least January now as cover.

I wouldn't say so GSC, they still look horribly weak in midfield after losing Dembele, Etuhu, Murphy and probably Dempsey.
