They're after some beanpole striker from Sheff Weds reserves apparently. Probably not enough to head off the boycott but a start.

Has Robbie Brady signed for Burnley?
Possibly, maybe even probably but I'm not 100% certain.

What with the pedestrianisation of Norwich City Centre he'll have to build in an extra hour or so to navigate the one-way system.

Norwich are signing an Ajax left-back on loan, could mean Brady is coming.

Just checking his scoring record. Around 1 in 9-10 games for club which isn't bad for a wide left player. 7 goals in 31 appearances for ROI.

I think these 'noises' are a clever ruse by the club to force Dutch side De Graafschap into action with regards to the signing of Andrew Driver.

But we aren't gonna sign anyone - so you've kept telling us - so there's no point in research

That's not McCormack it's Bruce trying to get into see him, has a spanner and a screwdriver with him, but we cannot name them two for certain legal reasons.

The article's already written. He's just spellchecking it to make sure that every reference to "Andrew Driver" has been replaced with "Robbie .." sorry, what was his name again?

Look, he's probably coming, but all the above accounts are guessing because it look likely.
I haven't seen a single tweet yet saying its a defo from the sort of people who know their stuff.

I work at the train depot behind Carrow Rd and saw Robbie on the 15:30 to Liverpool St. He had a Bertie Bee backpack on so it must be confirmed!

I could retweet their response, but seeing as I only have one follower, and she couldn't care ******* less, I won't bother!

I've seen several views on the internet that have told the story exactly as it seems to have panned out.

Yes! A special charter flight left Norwich heading for Manchester this evening at 1945 hrs - see screen grab. Two people on board apparently, according to the back-up data.

So apparently we've agreed a fee, he's agreed terms and some say he's already passed a medical.
In the words of Delia, "where are you?"

Not sure if anybody else has posted this, I couldn't find it.....
RTE website posted an article that was online at 19:08 tonight titled, "Robbie Brady Makes Move To Burnley."
It has since been removed....mind boggles. What could it mean? All set to go through, in all likelihood, just not quite completed - I'd suggest.
