Five Robins Manning should consider bringing with him to Norwich

4 days ago | edp24.co.uk | Samuel Seaman

Max O'Leary Ben Knapper's early transfer moves have made one thing very clear: goalkeeping is the priority. With experienced stopper Angus Gunn on his way out after four years at Carrow Road and Norwich open to an exit for George Long, he's hoping to conclude deals for two stoppers in short order. One of them looks likely to be Plymouth Argyle's Daniel Grimshaw, but he's expected to be the second choice behind whoever becomes the direct replacement for Gunn.

The 36-year-old was heavily linked with the Hoops, reportedly holding talks with them in London as he edged closer to replacing Marti Cifuentes. Rangers had put Cifuentes on gardening leave after he was considered as a candidate for the vacant managerial position at West Brom, but Tipsbladet claim that Thorup won't be taking over at Loftus Road.

The Canaries are hopeful of securing the 27-year-old's signature after the summer transfer window opened for an early registration period yesterday, although they're targeting two stoppers before the window shuts in September. A direct replacement for outgoing keeper Angus Gunn is yet to be sourced, with City reviewing their options ahead of what's expected to be a busy summer.

Unfortunately for those Canaries fans desperate to keep hold of the American, the planets seem to be aligning for another of their favourite stars to depart in a summer transfer window. Although the three years left on his Carrow Road contract mean a less urgent solution is required than with Borja Sainz and Marcelino Nunez, for Sargent's own career it's hard to deny that the time is right.

Control, adaptability and overloads: The tactics Manning will bring to City

1 week ago | edp24.co.uk | Samuel Seaman

Principle over system One of the first debates to emerge among supporters when news broke of Manning's number one contendership for the role was what formation he'd play as Norwich boss. Early in his career he seemed wedded to a four at the back, enjoying success with Lommel, MK Dons and Oxford United by using a 4-2-3-1 that occasionally became a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2. But his pivot to a back three at Bristol City has led to the conclusion by many that he'll bring it with him to Norfolk.
'Some top players' - Manning on the Norwich squad he'll inherit

The current Bristol City chief is set to become the first Canaries head coach to be poached from a divisional rival since the 2009 hiring of Paul Lambert, who left Colchester United to join Norwich in League One. While Manning can't boast the same 7-1 away victory over City that Lambert could when he was interviewed by David McNally, there's no doubting the positive impression that the Robins' league double left on sporting director Ben Knapper last term.

That’s according to Greek outlet Sport FM, who claim that Thrylos are ready to move for the winger if he chooses to make the switch to the Super League as he enters the final year of his contract at Carrow Road. The report states that they face fierce competition from Bilbao side Athletic Club, however, whose academy Sainz emerged from and who have consistently been linked with their former player.

"Impressed with Slimane." "Slimane made a big difference in the second half." "I liked Slimane's yellow card... we may actually have a backbone to go with the decent football." "We looked so much more in control when he came on." "Slimane was hugely impressive." Those are all comments made by Norwich City fans after the Tunisian's debut for the club, a promising appearance as a half-time substitute in last August's 1-0 win over Coventry.

Manning joins the Canaries on a four-year deal, returning to the city where he was born and featured as an academy player after being poached from Championship rivals Bristol City. He succeeds Johannes Hoff Thorup over a month after the Dane was sacked in his first season at Carrow Road, with Norwich triggering the £800,000 release clause in his Ashton Gate contract.
