He used to manage the club at the top of Westlegate which I can't remember the name of

Was that the one on the left as you walked towards Bonds from the bottom of St Stevens, replaced by a McDonald’s ?

Sounds about right FF. Ground floor and basement of the glass tower as it was. Well known but cannot remember the name!

I remember it as the Boogie House, in the late seventies early 80’s, think it was Peoples before that

Boogie House no way this would be early 70's.........................Peoples more likely, faint bell ringing, but wouldn't put money on it.

When you get to my age all you've got are bloody memories, then you can't remember them!!

Norwich City transfer rumours: Canaries set to sign Spanish left-back

Norwich City are set to sign Villarreal left-back Xavi Quintilla, according to reports in Spain.

Rumours of Lewis to Leicester...

The interesting thing for me is where it says we have had numerous requests for Mcallum on loan, would seem odd if we loaned him out

Yeah, I kind of expected him to be a part of things here this season.

 

[Number 9]

Xavi Quintilla from Villarreal apparently.
This is an excerpt of an article about him,

Quintillà fits Calleja’s idea of LB, he’s got plenty of attack in him and is not afraid of a challenge. Out of all the LB and LW he is actually the best crosser we have. In terms of development he will need to bulk up a bit for the challenges—he’s too easily beaten one-on-one. I’m afraid having a sleeve tattoo does not look as formidable as it used to.

Another midfielder maybe...

Norwich City transfer rumours: Spurs and England U21 midfielder set for loan switch

He’s been tipped to be a future Tottenham captain by Jose Mourinho and it seems Norwich City could be the club where England Under-21 midfielder Oliver Skipp will be stepping up his development.

We are short of midfielders after all...

 

[Fenway Frank]

Massive news in Suffolk as they sign three free agents

Pretty sure we will see Trybul and Leitner announced as gone, soon.

Leitner is in recovery after his operation. I read that he has plenty of interest from Germany once he is fit again.

Spurs fans seem to really rate him, and are surprised that he didn’t move to a Premier League club. A lot of them tip him to be their future captain, so he’s clearly very highly regarded. We’ve also apparently paid a £1m loan fee, which for us is a pretty steep fee for a temporary signing!

Very much suggests that Trybull and Leitner have already got moves lined up. Even so, I can’t help but feel we have overkill in holding midfield. Skipp, Vrancic, Tettey, McLean, Sorenson, Rupp, Sitti and maybe Thompson all competing for two positions. Don’t get me wrong Skipp looks to be a very good signing and I’m pleased we have him, but I do wonder whether it was neccesary. Unless there is going to be another departure in that position, Vrancic maybe?

I think Tettey will play a bit part this season, I have seen talk that Sitti may actually go out on loan.

And looking at this, I don't think we'll see Leitner again...

 

[Din]

And yeah on Xavi Quintilla, again he’s another one who seems highly rated, and someone we apparently tried to sign in January. It’s an odd deal though seeing as we Lewis and McCallum here at the moment.

So that suggests either that Lewis is off, or as that article says, McCallum is gonna go out on loan, which also seems strange as as other people have said I thought he’d play a part this season. Will have to see how it pans out I guess.
