Norwich signing Toivonen

Can't believe that, they're not exactly big but they've already signed Ricky van Wolfswinkel and now Toivonen. This is the sort f players we should be going for :ayatollah:

I think they realise how average their team is. I had them down as one of our real chances of staying up. Who knows, seem to be spending without logic though.

- Stoke with the useless Mark Hughes gives us a chance

- Hull and Palace for obvious reasons

- Sunderland with loose cannon Di Canio

- Usually a decent team plays dreadfully all season

- West Brom and Fulham are there for the taking imo. Not that they are bad teams, I just don't think they are that good.

Hughton has noticed that the big stars of the Championship and bringing them in will soon be punished and nearly was that is why he is pushing the limit with transfers now and aiming higher.

Sunderland signed 3 players today including diakite from lazio who is very good with a number of clubs after him, and a basel player who is probably good as they aint a bad team

West Brom yes as they've lost Lukaku etc but Clarke is learning and a good enough manager, Fulham no chance, they've signed great players and have no debt hanging over them now

Fee agreed 'reportedly'. Lets just wait until it's concrete before we judge. Good player though

These are the sort of players Malky should be looking for. Norwich have again another quality player for peanuts!

Not a world class player, but a good player who could potentially score double figures for Norwich if he joins them.

Be patient, the team might take to it like a duck to water. A few tweaks and we'll be fine I reckon
