Some thoughts on Mark Attanasio’s appearance on Canary Call last night.

Thought he came across as rational, thoughtful and combative on some topics - whilst finding others more challenging.

But there should be a respect for showing leadership👇 #NCFC

Me too. You never know… Maybe one day…

Thanks mate👍

Despite links elsewhere, Liverpool's Nat Phillips not currently an option for #NCFC, who are in the market for a centre back this summer.

Harry Darling is a target but lots of Championship competition, not least from Birmingham. Norwich have other irons in the fire in that position as well.

As per reports in both Spain and Italy, Porto and Napoli are the two clubs who have submitted multiple bids for #NCFC winger Borja Sainz.

Neither have met City's valuation. Talks ongoing. No bids received from Spain as of yet, but interest known.

🪟 It was another transfer window of change for #NCFC - with a late flourish that few saw coming.

They’ve invested in young talent and shed some serious wages off the books.

Hi Ivy. I believe so mate👍

Playing out from the back is always something that divides opinion. Many ask why #NCFC do it.

I put that question to Johannes Hoff Thorup. His answer was in-depth, interesting and well worth a read. You can see what he had to say in full below👇

I’ve written an explainer as to why new #NCFC signing Matej Jurasek won’t be available until February.

It’s all to do with GBE and ESC slots. You can have a read to understand more below👇

Why new City signing Jurasek can't play until February

Norwich City have completed the signing of Slavia Prague winger Matej Jurasek, but the Czech winger will have to wait to make his debut.

🚨 #NCFC have completed the signing of Slavia Prague winger Matej Jurasek.

€7m (£5.8m) package agreed. Long contract signed.

BUT - work permit rules mean he will NOT be able to play until after the transfer window🔰

Believe he had surgery recently on an injury.

Bit of #NCFC transfer news - Jonathan Tomkinson is in talks with Ross County over a move until the end of the season.

Would take him to the end of his Norwich deal. There is a 12-month club option - but no talks at this stage. Story below⬇️

Hard to make any hard or fast judgements based on one 90-minute display, but I thought Lewis Dobbin showed some bright sparks yesterday.

His pace is frightening. #NCFC's job is to connect it to a consistent amount of attacking output⬇️

Kaide Gordon will return to Liverpool providing #NCFC can get a deal to sign Slavia Prague winger Matej Jurasek over the line.

That deal is making progress after the clubs agreed a €7m package on Friday.

I like Onel Hernandez. In the era of five substitutes, I believe there is a place for him - as Coventry showed last week.

It will be interesting to see what decision is made on his future. It is up to him to force their hand.

Connor Southwell: Hernandez out to win City tussle over his future

Norwich City winger Onel Hernandez will be determined to win the tussle over his Canaries future, with his contract up at the end of the season.

🚨 As per @fabrizioromanio.bsky.social, #NCFC have struck a total €7m package to sign Slavia Prague winger Matej Jurasek.

Fee includes add-ons and performance bonuses. Agreed club to club. Work to do to get it over the line.

Sainz fully deserving of the ban and the subsequent criticism that will come in his direction. Spitting is disgusting.

A self-inflicted blow for #NCFC - who will be without him for six games. He says he will use the period to 'reflect and learn' - let's hope that is the case.

Connor Southwell @cjsouthwell1902.bsky.social · Jan 10

🚨 The FA have confirmed that #NCFC winger Borja Sainz has been suspended for six matches over a spitting incident during last month's defeat to Sunderland.

Sainz has issued a 'sincere and public' apology for his behaviour. Full story below👇

Full story here on Vicente Reyes' return to #NCFC after he was recalled from #CamUTD.

Reasoning is down to a change in game time plus a desire for goalkeeping coach Tony Roberts to work with him.

Not expected to displace Gunn or Long in the first team⬇️
