Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Sven Botman

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Norwich City have done the hard part with Newcastle United, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

The dugout

Valentín Barco: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Norwich City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Eyes on Vladan Kovačević again

The phone has started ringing about Vladan Kovačević again, and this time the name on the line is Legia. Norwich City are listening politely and promising nothing.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Papa Amadou Diallo

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Norwich City

Valentín Barco was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets

An offer of $310.0K for Ben Killip

Norwich City have gone to Portsmouth with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Norwich City bid $140.0K for Nahki Wells

The offer went to Luton Town this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Boardroom

6 academy players handed senior numbers at Norwich City

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Norwich City rebuffed over Pape Matar Sarr

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Tottenham have kept their man, and Norwich City go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

In brief
