Looks like Magennis can head a ball !!!
I think he could do really well for us. Put me in the "Parky will get the best out of him" camp as well.

Where have you heard that?

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread
The only set-up we've used that generated a points return good enough to avoid relegation at this level is the 4-2-3-1 with a target man up front. This has been, in my opinion, largely because of the following three reasons: 1. Wheater and Beevers, our two best centre-backs, are cumbersome (not nece...

Re: Pre-Season Fixtures 2018
I'm not sure that it's really a matter of training as it is capability. I suppose we could improve our efforts to pass through the defence and midfield by working on it, but as it stands we'll still be starting with Wheater and Beevers at centre-back and they're both very limited in that department....

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread
It's looking increasingly like Parky is being treated as a head coach and not a manager. I think this has somewhat always been the case. None of us really believed that le Fondre and Clough were Parky's signings, did we? But as you say (and you appear to know far more about the inner workings than ...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread
I'm certain that if we do actually sign Wyke, it'll be no earlier than deadline day. Frankly, I think we've reached a point where we almost have to sign him now, just because we've invested so much energy as a club into him coming here that it'll be catastrophic to our already fragile morale if he d...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread
It's certainly an option but with Oztumer here it's surely a secondary one. I've just read through a thread on him on one of Norwich's fan forums and two posts in particular stood out: "Just looked at his goals/assists at Wigan and surprised to see that his ssuccess there was playing on the left, wi...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread
I like that we seem to be adding pace everywhere, even if it's just a bit. Olkowski and Wildschut are genuinely quick players for their positions. Lowe and Ozzy, whilst not fast, are quicker than the players they have replaced. Ideally that continues and we add some pace to left back and centre hal...

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread
Well, he looks like he's strong, quick, and very, very direct. I won't pretend that I've ever seen him play but at face value, he's of a higher quality than the players I've been expecting us to sign, and, most importantly, seems to be an upgrade on Morais.
I feel quite excited about him.

Re: Reconstruction time again: the summer 2018 transfer thread
The trouble is that we're not even sure what system we'll be playing, so it's all guesswork at this stage. If we want to go 3-at-the-back then we suddenly need 3 more centre backs, if we're going with the old 4-3-3 then we have very different requirements. 4-4-2 changes things again. I'm hoping for...

CYL perhaps? A winger in his thirties who was good once maybe?
It's not him. The strongest rumour appears to be that it's Diego Capel.

F*ck knows, though the team selection probably didn't help. Thankfully, it reappeared the following Saturday at 2-1 down with ten minutes to go.
