Analysing the Transfer Gossip – 30th July

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton hopes to recruit more players this summer and admits being interested in 30-year-old Juventus striker Fabio Quagliarella.

What’s the story? Really? Despite having spent £13.5m on Hooper and van Wolfswinkel. Who would be missing out?

Does it make sense? Not really. Although Qualiarella is a good player, probably better than the two they’ve signed actually, Norwich can’t afford a luxury buy, and a third striker in a team that sometimes played with one last season is a luxury.

Is the price right? £6m ish is probably about right, but on top of the current spend it’s too much for someone that doesn’t fill a need.

Will it happen? 2/10 – Very unlikely. No real value or need and Quagliarella seems happy in Italy.
