Stan Laurel

I used to work with the mother in law of one of Norwich's new signings, Matthew Gill, and upon Norwich signing him I was reminded of something she told me a few years ago when he was at Notts County.

He was described apparently by a fanzine as looking like Stan Laurel.

What do you think ?

Worryingly quiet on the transfer front

Yes, it is the holiday period, but some teams have already announced signings whilst rumours abound about players linked with various Championship and League One teams. But not Norwich.

The only news we have had in recent weeks has been the news that Norwich will rebuild "from the back" with a new goalkeeper and central defender top of the shopping list.

Whoever Norwich buy, and clearly it is a wise tactic to keep your powder dry when making signings, it is vital that they are in place for the start of the pre-season and don't join up with the club late.

I think though as soon as the club have made a signing many fans will feel a little more relieved.
