Missed Transfer Targets

Some of the best transfer dealings done so far in this window has to of come from Norwich City, with the recent singing of Martin Olsson to go along with Nathan Redmond Its evident that Norwich mean business for the upcoming season. At one point West Ham were linked with both players and I remained optimistic that we could sign both of them at some point.

Olsson and Redmond are still very young and have years ahead of them in the game, Nathan has had many admires over the last few years and can switch from either wing; an area we are currently weak in; it was also a move that would see him reunited with ex-teammate Ravel Morrison, as for Olsson it appeared that a deal could be struck in the January transfer window but a fee wasn't agreed, playing as a left back he could of provided competition/cover for newly signed Ravzan Rat.

Realistically we are not the richest club and we can't sign every player the press links us to, but I think that Norwich have pulled off a couple of great transfers here, I expected Norwich to be fierce competition but with their current signings Olsson, Redmond and Ricky Van Wolfswinkel how much of a threat could the 3 prove to be?

Although we have signed some decent players I feel that we often get ripped off, over £10 million paid for Matt Jarvis is a prime example of that, and considering Norwich paid £2 million for Redmond a deal that could rise to £3.2 and they wasn't overpriced for the signature of Olsson either.

Could we learn a thing or two from Norwich on transfer dealings?
