Norwich sign Fer and Olsson

Wed Jul 10, 2013 1:45 pm

They've signed Fer for 4.3m, unsure on what was spent on Olsson.

Very good signings, they could be challenging for a top 8 finish

Am I pissed? A West Ham side got into the top 10 then Swansea(with minimal strength in depth) why can't they challenge for at least a top 10 finish? Cracking signings, not spending too much either, recouped their money well. Must be something in the water there, we complain and say Malky isn't a big name but Hughton isn't really a big name and he's attracting all these players?

Looks like they as well as us have benefited from sensible spending over the first few years and are now in a position due to the extra sky money to go and push the boat out. Made some dwcent signings. Looks like it could be a very interesting year.

It's the exact approach I'd like to make, Cornelius was 7.5m-8.5m, if we sign Ince that puts it up to around 16/17m just on two players, I'd like us to limit spending but go for players like Fer and Olsson, they aren't costing much at all. Norwich is a very good model to take, young british players willing to succeed and then two years later, add young foreign talent willing to succeed

Your difficulty is your a newly promoted club so what have you got to offer over the likes of Norwich, fulham, stoke and ourselves. We we ridiculed on here for playing boring tippy tappy but that kept us up and also encouraged the likes of caulker and sigi to sign.

Your style of Football has been noticed and quoted from some players who sign for Swansea or are interested.

In fairness the style of Football attracts a few players well adds an extra advantage of joining you lot.
