Exclusive: Arsenal winger Marquinhos joining Norwich City on loan for remainder of the season. Gunners have given 19-year-old Brazilian green light to travel to East Anglia for medical. Deal likely to be completed in next 24 hours. #AFC #NCFC
Makes it sound like he's travelling on camel from the middle of the desert or by hot air balloon rather than just getting in a car and driving up the motorway a bit.
No motorway in East Anglia mate, A12 has central reservations being replaced from Chelmsford to Colchester, A14 has a contra flow as a huge section is being fully replaced and don’t get me started on the A11 !

Camel May well be the best option…. :-P

By the time we reach the 80m Brighton want, Chavski will nip in with an 85m bid to fuck us again!!

This is a mess. What's the point in thinking about going back in with 5 Mill incremental bids that we know will be rejected?

Why waste time. We have a figure we can go to or we don't. Go big or go to alternatives...(stop saying pivot folks it's wanky!!)

We are desperately in need of partey cover. Some of us have been saying it since last season. The clubs failure to address this undermines a lot of the fantastic work and progress as this is the main thing that will cause us to come unstuck.

If we miss out on the title cos of partey injury/conviction then the club ought to be ashamed and it will be incredibly frustrating. Yes we have made brilliant progress and are way ahead of where we thought we would be. But we are also in a unique situation as regards the title is concerned one we may not be in again for a while. The stars have aligned to an extent but we don't seem to be doing everything we can to best equip us to win.

If caicedo is a no starter move away. There must be plenty of dms across Europe who won't cost 70m who can do a far better supporting job and fit in generally than Sambi or elneny (even if fit)

Iys incredibly frustrating as we are again lea ing ourselves short from a position of strength and its not exactly a surprise we needed cover so why leave it so late.

Yes, but those who dwell in Norwich don't know that.

No, but they’re both still stuck in the 60’s.

Shouldnt even need to say it cos it is that obvious, but it looks like we are gonna fcuk about for next 24 hours chasing a guy that isnt for sale :roll: Maybe it is a stalling tactic by our club so that they can claim to have tried, but all the while hoping that it wont happen so that they can save their move for someone else next summer (please god not rice :worried: ), but this opportunity may not be there next season and we should be pro-active now and not wasting time over someone who is not for sale

What do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre?

I'll be honest, I'm dead against it, people forget that traders need access to Dixons.

Moises Caicedo or Amadou Onana ?

Is there a lot of difference between these two other than the price tag?

Onana is more of a Beast; though he does have good skills, whereas Caicedo is a "Baller" as well as being very accomplished in the (cough! cough!) Challenge.

So would you say it's worth paying an extra £30m for Caicedo?
