The Norwich squad so far

The only slightly suprising thing is that it looks like Lambert wants to keep Wilbraham, which does make sense as if we lose Morrison or Holt we dont have any "big man" cover.
I do expect him to be loaned out during the season in the same way we got Sam Vokes.

The overall squad is looking good.

So far I have 22 players of the 25

We have 1 loan of a maximum 2 loans from fellow PL clubs

My feeling is PL will try and keep the final loan in his pocket in case of emergency. Probably the reason we have bid for Lansbury rather than get him as a loan.

"So far" it looks like he is going with Rudd as number 2
That could change but it wouldnt be terrible.
My feeling is that unless we can bring someone in who is better than Ruddy then it seems silly to not give the number 2 to Declan.

I like the message PL gave to the players in the first pre-season game.
Everyone get virtually equal time so all places are up for grabs.

We may get in 1 or 2 more players but basically the squad below is what we are going with in the PL this season.

I think PL has added both speed and quality to the squad.

Its going to be exciting.
