Player to watch this weekend: Nathan Redmond (Norwich City)
Nathan Redmond
Norwich’s best player so far this season? Easy, Nathan Redmond.
Redmond’s start to the season, by way of Norwich not having appeared on television yet, has largely passed under the radar, but this is someone who you should be really looking forward to watching this afternoon.
Redmond is very un-English in style, in [...]
Nathan Redmond: Season so far for Norwich City
Nathan Redmond
I’m a little biased towards Nathan Redmond, feature as he did in my list of players to watch in 2013/14, but it’s fair to say that he’s the highest performing English player in the country at the moment - given that he’s come for the Championship, with very little Premier League experience, his tra [...]
Norwich City vs. Everton: Individual Player Stats
In a world in which the size of a fanbase doesn’t determine which games are televised, this game might have made a very good feature fixture on either Sky or BT Sport - good football, four goals, plenty of entertainment, and the points shared.
Here are the stats from Carrow Road:
- Marouane Fellaini led the game with 106 to [...]
Norwich City: Chasing the next level
Norwich City
Unless a club is bankrolled by an oil country, an Oligarch, or some kind of elaborate Ponzi scheme, they are not going to win the Premier League, and they will also generally find the gateway to self-sustenance - the top-four - a locked-door as well.
With that in mind, it’s very easy for clubs who exist on profi [...]
Ola Toivonen still potentially inbound at Norwich City - but do they need him?
Norwich City
So, maybe this isn’t quite dead yet?
About a month ago, Ola Toivonen was reportedly close to a move to Norwich City, but the silence since then has rather implied that the transfer was dead in the water - not so, apparently, here’s the player himself:
“I did not say definitively it (Norwich) was no longer [...]
Fantasy Picks: Gary Hooper - Norwich City
This is another pick based on my assumption that Norwich City will do rather well next season - or at least, exceed the expectations of those assuming that they’ll be in the lower-half of table for most of the year.
Gary Hooper will have to battle through the usual stereotypes associated with any player who has made his name in S [...]
Why Norwich City have been impressive this Summer
Norwich City
I’ve written before about Norwich City’s transfer dealing this Summer, and I’ve stressed just how impressive the additions of Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Leroy Fer, Nathan Redmond and - possibly - Gary Hooper have been.
But that’s not what I’m getting at.
The new television deal has handsomely [...]
Fantasy Picks: Robert Snodgrass - Norwich City
Robert Snodgrass was the ninth highest-scoring midfielder in Fantasy Football last year, and when you consider the Norwich have got considerably better over the off-season, his £6.5m asking price seems like very good value.
At 25, the Scottish midfielder is slowly growing into a very useful Premier League player, and his 6 goals and 6 assist [...]
Looking at how Norwich City have progressed over the Summer
Last night, with the news that Leroy Fer had completed his transfer to Norwich City, I said that this was a side that were growing into a cultured team - and that wasn’t just over-zealous Summer optimism, I meant it: Norwich are going to be a different calibre of side next season.
Here is how they looked for most of 2012/13:
That [...]
Another day, another Norwich City coup
Most of you will remember Leroy Fer: he was the player David Moyes almost signed for Everton in January. One failed medical later, and Everton’s loss is Norwich City’s gain - Fer moved to Carrow Road today.
I judge most midfielders by how many different functions they can perform on the pitch, and Fer is someone who will [...]
