Omozusi - I'm 95% sure that Hodgson still has plans for young Elliot, so hence the loan. It would do the lad good to gain first team football & be able to prove himself. I don't believe for a moment that this will be a view to a permanent transfer. The reasons are that he's actually very very good indeed. Played a number of times last season in the EPL & did not look out of place. He's a very quick right back who's superb in the tackle - especially his timing & technique. Not without skill wither with the ball at his feet he looks good going forward. Due to his inexperience he is at times prone to the odd lapse in concentration even when he's having a stormer, but hey ... I guess that's one of the purposes of the loan to get the experience & iron that side of his game out. I've no idea how long the loan would be for - but be it a month, 3 months or a full season loan - enjoy him whilst he's there if this does happen. He's represented England at several levels and IMO is one of the best products to come through our academy in recent years - far better than the likes of Leacock who went to Derby, Fontaine who went to Bristol city etc.



Stefanovic - hmmm ... well you're welcome to him to be honest as he's certainly no longer anywhere near up to it at EPL level - although he may prove adequate for a season or so at Championship level. Far too slow now, positionally ok - but can be caught out, moderate in the air, reads the game reasonably. A liability by Premiership standards - but I hope he at least 'does a job' for you.

Good luck for next season - I'll certainly be keeping tabs on Norwich if Omozusi does join on loan.

(in a later post he apologises for the use of EPL, simply quicker than typing premiership, I'm saying this as I also thought "grrrr" on reading it).
