Positives: Norwich have had a busy transfer window with lots of comings and goings. The two most intresting signings coming in are Gary Hooper from Celtic and Ricky Van Wolfswinkel from Sporting Lisbon. Both strikers who have the potential to score loads of goals for them if they get the service. This was to offshoot the departure of Grant Holt to Wigan which surpised some Norwich supporters as Holt was a hero to them but after requesting a transfer at the start of last season after one good season in the Premiership maybe his days were numbered.

Negatives: Even with all the ins and outs over the summer realistically Norwich will still do well to avoid a relegation battle. If Hooper and Van Wolfswinkel start scoring on a regular basis then possibly they will avoid it but a top half finish seems out of reach.

Prediction:15th
