Confirmed now. Travelling tonight according to Irish journo.

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 9:00 pm

Surely it should be travelling UP to Burnley

Steddyman · Post by **Steddyman** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 9:01 pm

And..

"Thats all on Brady for me, Looks like its coming to a long end. Hopefully no more twists. Expected to be a Burnley player soon."

Claretnick · Post by **Claretnick** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 9:02 pm

Think we need to calm down, as somebody posted above the Norwich deal to buy Sporting Lisbon left-back Marvin Zeegelaar has collapsed tonight according to the Norwich fan's forum the PinkUN.
Norwich fans think it would be crazy to let Brady go as they would have no left back cover...

If this guy actually knows his stuff then that should be that as he Tweeted earlier that if we agree a fee Brady will sign.

How trustworthy is the inside source man Jason O'Connor. ?

How it used to be and it was much better than it is now. Even when I was involved with websites there used to be signings that only came to light once announced. We'll never go back to those days sadly.

Steddyman · Post by **Steddyman** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 9:11 pm

Very. He has the inside track on Brady and his agent.

We still don't know, we just didn't have a whole media and twitter speculation circus back in the day.

Can you imagine the meltdown we'd have had on here with some of the signings we made in the past?

All the "will he - won't he" brouhaha about Mark Caughey?

Nonayforever · Post by **Nonayforever** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 9:39 pm

R Brady a far better signing than Snodgrass in my opinion. ( although I would like both)
He is looking to progress his career whereas Snodgrass is looking to maintain his career. A big difference.
Really excited by this signing.

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 9:41 pm

Some Norwich fans are saying he is over rated. I personally think he will shine in our team.

There are some players I'd like to forget - one of those is very definitely Mark Caughey.

And spending a fortune on ringing Burnley Club Call.

"This is Jimmy Mullen welcome to Burnley Club Call the Official voice of Turf Moor"

And that will be £10 for the cost of your call

If it is true that he is traveling over to Burnley tonight
then we have to assume we're close to getting him and that he may have a
medical in the morning and that terms have been agreed or are close to being agreed.

It doesn't stop Norwich from pulling out of any deal tomorrow morning, I presume.
Or Palace, or whoever, gazumping us.

All will, no doubt be revealed hopefully by tomorrow pm.

And then we can all utter a sigh of relief.

I reckon (and hope) that Snodgrass will turn out to be one of those over-the-hill, overweight, over-hyped expensive, Championship journeyman flops - like Ross McCormack (if he doesn't sign for us that is!).

Steve-Harpers-perm · Post by **Steve-Harpers-perm** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 10:27 pm

With the obvious difference Snodgrass plays top flight football!

Duffer_ · Post by **Duffer_** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 10:31 pm

I heard, from a totes reliable source, that Snodgrass has a weight gambling problem. He keeps putting money on Ross McCormack 'to lose weight'. Currently 7/1 on SkyBet. We dodged a bullet.

And they played together at Leeds so it is a FACT.

UTC!

I know what you mean. I don't mind a bit of speculation, it can be a bit of fun and make for decent conversation.

However in the last 3/4 years on both message boards (and I've said this before) it has reminded me of a load of starving Africans with their hands in the air at the back of a United Nations food truck.

Hungry for news.

If that's all that's holding it up then surely we can point Norwich in the direction of a decent left back -what was the name, Easton

Yes you're right, everyone wants to be like some loner who lives in his mums cellar, whose only way of attention is by being a prick on a football message board. About time you got yourself a girlfriend and lived a normal life. Or are you too ugly and awkward to get a partner? Is that why you're so bitter?

Come on truth time, do you have a girlfriend or house or life even? Or are you a cellar dweller who spends all his life on here?

. My guess is you still live with your mummy and daddy and dont even get out for football!!!

jlup1980 · Post by **jlup1980** » Fri Jan 27, 2017 11:57 am

Apparently it now depends on whether Norwich bring in a left sided player to replace him. Surely if a deal has been agreed we can push it through. There's talk of him playing for Norwich this weekend, which would be crazy. What if he were to get injured?!
