talking of which - we've missed a whole day of dodgy rumours

Norwich will sign Charlie Austin from Swindon now the Robins have not joined the Canaries in the Championship. The deal will be done over the coming weeks for around ?750,000. Michael Foulger will provide part of the money for the deal.

In other news at Carrow Road, Paul Lambert is also looking to sign Danny Green from Dagenham, though Green's price has risen on the Daggers' promotion, Lambo is still keen to add the winger to his squad.

The Canaries other targets include striker, Borja Viguera, plying his trade in Spain at Real Sociedad. He's recommended by new Chief Scout, Ewan Chester.

In midfield, Solomon Taiwo will be signed from Cardiff as cover, while Billy Celeski may also be recruited from Melbourne Victory. Defensively, Tommy Spurr is likely to join from Sheffield Wednesday.

Fraser Forster's loan deal should be confirmed early this week.

Leaving Carrow Road will be Owain Tudur?Jones to Charlton for around ?300,000, Jed Steer will join a League 2 club, likely to be Lincoln City, on loan for the first part of next season, Josh Dawkin may also join a League 2 club on loan. Cody McDonald may be loaned out, while, Matt Gill, Simon Lappin and Russell Martin may also make way.

[Turns out "Borja Viguera" does actually exist. But has only played 5 games for Real Sociedad, no goals. Wonder why the author alighted on that particular player? Great stuff.]
