He would be ideal for our chums down the road next season in the 3rd Division.

Never really realised his early potential shown with us.
Turned into a bit of a journeyman player never really settling anywhere.

He will be relieved at having his Norwich hell ended.

three years at a club and hardly playing is not good and it's amazing he's kept his international place despite that. He said when he signed for Norwich that it would lead to him becoming a Premier League striker in England. He got one substitute appearance for them last season, 13 minutes in the home game against Leicester.

CT - you a secret canary, or did I miss the home games he played for Burnley ? ;)
"He’s been with Norwich for three years but in that time he’s played only 31 league games for us with 20 of those coming on as a substitute.:

I'd take Ruddy as the experienced number 2, should Robinson not be offered another deal. Great for Pope too havin another former England and premier league player to learn from.

I still have no idea how we managed to scam Rangers out of £3M for him.

I'd be tempted to look at Ryan Bennett. He's always looked decent when I've seen him. Think Dyche would help him improve.

I would say its the other way around CT. And their was probably a loud bang behind Kyle as the door shut.

It was a brilliant piece of business to be honest.

I think Norwich have been trying to bang the door shut behind him for much of the three years he's been there.

Lafferty is bound for League 1. I can't see any Championship clubs being interested in him. I always thought he was overrated when at Burnley.

Oh dear, very sad. Thought he had all the attributes to be a top class striker.

Remember one match he beat 3 defenders on the bye line with a superb piece of skill. Only had to pass the ball for a tap in. Instead blasted the ball miles over the bar and ran away without a thought for anyone.

I was at Elland Road Saturday and Bennett looked good (along with LB Dijks and CF Oliveira). He came up via Grimsby too, so he's in the mould of quite a few of our squad.

Ruddy is well worth a look as a reserve keeper.

7 players is a lot to announce now isn't it?

This passed me by, I didn't know he was fined £23,000 for placing a bet last year.
