That doesn't contradict what I said at all

What I was saying is:

I can understand a player going on loan to a club closer to home so that they don't have to move.

BUT, if they do choose to come to Norwich then the vast majority of players would move here and rent somewhere - I would imagine the club wouldn't want somebody who was in a car for six hours every day!
