All the Germans… Where are they now?

26th July 2022 By Louis Woodrow 5 Comments

We have reached the end of an era at Carrow Road. Throughout his time at Norwich, former manager Daniel Farke made a total of eight German signings, with the last of them leaving the club this week. The intake of players in Farke’s first transfer window in 2017 consisted of much of this list, with […]

Hello Norwich City? Attanasio calling… I’m on my way

26th July 2022 By Freddie Humphry-Wakefield 8 Comments

Here we go… again. Following back-to-back pre-season defeats in Scotland to Celtic and Hibernian, and a complete fan meltdown on social media due to these results, there is at least one thing all City fans can now get excited about. As reported by Sam Seaman on The Pink ‘Un, by club officials at the Q&A […]

ACADEMY: Two Under-23 players head out on loan. What will they take to League 2?

25th July 2022 By Jamie Lauder and Will Grant 1 Comment

Norwich Under-23s had a successful Premier League 2 Division 2 campaign in 2021-22, meaning some players heading into this summer would attract interest from clubs across the Football League. Flynn Clarke and Saxon Earley are the first players from that group to test themselves away from development football this coming season, with others projected to […]

Very little Sunshine on Leith

25th July 2022 By Martin Penney 35 Comments

And so the prologue ends with 46 crucial chapters to follow. The friendlies are completed and the serious stuff begins at Cardiff City’s Millennium Stadium at 3pm precisely on Saturday. City followed up a 2-0 defeat at Celtic Park with a completely lacklustre 1-0 reverse at Easter Road against Hibernian yesterday which saw youngsters Jonathan […]

City’s first defeat of pre-season at Celtic Park but Smith already under pressure

24th July 2022 By Gary Gowers 18 Comments

I need to tread a bit carefully. I took some mild stick on Twitter yesterday for suggesting those who bemoaned City’s performance in the 2-0 defeat by Celtic were blubbing prematurely. As I’ve said many times before, I pay little heed to results and performances in friendlies – even those that occur just seven days […]

“All the Germans…” have left the building. But what of the intake of summer 2017?

23rd July 2022 By Jack Lincoln 3 Comments

As confirmed by the club in the last few days, fan favourite defender Christoph Zimmermann has officially concluded his five-year stay in Norfolk, departing back to his native Germany for SV Darmstadt 98 on a permanent deal. Unilateral good wishes flooded in towards the towering German defender following the announcement, with some fans seeing his […]

VIDEO: Pierre Lees-Melou To Leave Norwich City | Norwich Talk

21st July 2022 By Norwich Talk 1 Comment

It’s reported that Pierre Lees-Melou is the latest player to depart Norwich City as he is set to join Ligue 1 side Stade Brestois on a three-year deal. Lees-Melou’s pending departure has, understandably, caused some doubt in the NCFC fan base after some solid performances in Norwich City’s latest Premier League embarrassment. It’s reported by […]

GUEST BLOG: All the midfielders, so many midfielders…

21st July 2022 By Guest Blogger 17 Comments

The football gods have decreed that there will be extra time in MFW regular Alex Bain‘s silly season series on his favourite Norwich City players of the past and in this final instalment, he recalls some of his favourite midfielders. We’ve had some crackers over the years, so let’s have a shufti at Alex’s choices – he […]

Who can be City’s trequartista for 2022-23?

19th July 2022 By Jamie Lauder 5 Comments

Since Emi Buendia’s departure, City have craved a creator. A player that effectively has a free role, with the sole aim to make things happen. This kind of player is known under many names but, for those familiar with 1990s Italian football (or who play Football Manager), they are known as a Trequartista.  If you […]

VIDEO: Keep, Loan or Sell Part Three: Norwich City’s Attack | Norwich Talk

18th July 2022 By Norwich Talk Leave a Comment

Welcome back to Norwich Talk’s final part of Keep, Loan or Sell. We take a look at Norwich City’s attacking lineup ahead of the 2022/23 EFL Championship campaign and… you guessed it – decide which players we would keep, loan or sell. NB: Since the recording of this video, Placheta has departed on a season-long […]

Give it half a chance and Norfolk will look after you, Gabriel – you’re one of us now

18th July 2022 By Martin Penney 27 Comments

Like most of us of a Canary persuasion, I have whiled away my spare time this week with quite a few message exchanges with friends and fellow Yellows – not that this is a particularly new concept for me as I guess I do it 52 weeks of the year. This week’s discussions were really […]

Oscillating fans… a new Brazilian… rose and gold heaven… and fun in southern France

17th July 2022 By Gary Gowers 9 Comments

So, things are finally moving. The friendlies are starting to come thicker and faster, the mood of the faithful is starting to oscillate more wildly than a bedroom fan, there’s a tangible increase in intensity in training and matchplay, and we already have our first casualty of the new season. So, the week that was, […]

Welcome aboard Gabriel Sara – please be one of our hits, not one of our misses

16th July 2022 By Freddie Humphry-Wakefield 6 Comments

Finally, Gabriel Sara is a Canary. Welcome aboard. Let’s hope his stay in Norfolk is a fruitful one … because that’s not always the case. Although Stuart Webber has a list of successful incomings in his five-year-stint as City’s Sporting Director, there is an even longer list of players who simply did not work out. […]

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Goodbye Premier League. Hello Football.

15th July 2022 By Edward Couzens-Lake 4 Comments

It’s Friday, it’s a pre-season no-fresh-content kind of day, it’s going to be a warm one and it all feels a bit rubbish, so it’s to the archives of an MFW legend I turn. And, for once, it’s not Kevin Baldwin. Instead, today we revisit a piece our Ed Couzens-Lake wrote in the summer of […]

Could Danel Sinani yet be the one to finally fill that Emi Buendia-shaped hole?

14th July 2022 By Jack Lincoln 22 Comments

Since the end of last season, as City concluded 2021-22 with that dismal relegation while Huddersfield went all the way to the Championship Play-Off final, the future of Danel Sinani and what role (if any) he may play in Dean Smith’s team has become a hot topic among City fans. The question being asked is […]

VIDEO: Keep, Loan or Sell Part Two: Norwich City’s Midfield | Norwich Talk

13th July 2022 By Norwich Talk Leave a Comment

Here we go… part two of three for our mini-series ‘Keep Loan or Sell.’ Today Ben looks at City’s midfield options and whether they possess enough quality to remain in our ideal Norwich City squad or whether they should be sold. NOTE: This was recorded prior to the King’s Lynn game. Give our Twitter a […]

GUEST BLOG: From Barry Butler through to Omobamidele and all those in between

13th July 2022 By Guest Blogger 10 Comments

Following on from sharing his thoughts on NCFC keepers, full backs, managers and strikers over the summer, MFW regular Alex Bain turns his attention to recollections of his favourite centre backs who have sported the Yellow shirt over the years. So without further preamble, off you go Alex. *** I have seen several centre-backs come […]

Prem Hangover? … Quality over quantity … bigger and faster … and a new Tzolis?

12th July 2022 By Andy Head 10 Comments

With City’s relative inaction in the transfer market to date, we’ve been feeding off scraps in order to try and motivate ourselves from the sombre malaise of last season’s capitulation into a positive mindset for the season ahead. No move either in or out can yet be seen as good or bad until we’ve seen […]

New signings arriving with ‘niggly injuries’, an all too familiar tale in the Fine City

11th July 2022 By Martin Penney 32 Comments

A new signing is always exciting. Even as I approach pensionable age I still feel a little flutter when somebody fresh comes through the glass doors at Colney, especially if they are a holding midfielder with Premiership quality and, whisper it quietly, a Brazilian attacking midfielder, which in itself will become a first for the Canaries. […]

That was the week that was: Safe standing… Sara… Sinani… and white water rafting!

10th July 2022 By Gary Gowers 9 Comments

So, things are slowly starting to move – both in terms of incomings and outgoings. Still slowly, but they’re moving. We even appear to have a new signing imminent… possibly. So… the Norwich City week that was: Monday 4 July A slow start to the week, with the first team squad partaking of day three […]

Good test tonight in terms of defending set pieces; Millwall have the highest xG from dead balls and already have three goals. We've been solid so far (Hull's second was fortunate). In attack, been impressed with Cantwell's corners. Good accuracy finding areas/personnel. #NCFC
