Norwich City have made some astute signings this summer and could be on the verge of another eye-catching deal. According to reports in Italy, Norwich are closing in on the signing of Juventus striker Fabio Quagliarella, with the Italian champions needing to sell a forward after bringing in Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente.
Anything in this world now seems possible after the move by Giaccherini to Sunderland.
Norwich has an underrated manager who did a fine job at Newcastle United but suffered at the hands of a crazy owner, Mike Ashley, who appears to see Zamparini as a perfect role model.
There is absolutely no doubting the seriousness of the bid of €8m which has
reportedly been made yesterday.
I can just imagine the intense pleasure felt by Marotta when he heard about this approach by the Canaries, quickly dispelled by his next thought that Quagliarella would almost certainly reject advances from a club that might best be described as the Premier Leagues equivalent to Chievo, principally because he loves Juve and wants to stay and enjoy more success with us, even if it meant playing a key role as a benchwarmer.
That said, there are positives that might not occur to many, including the bonus of having the world famous chefess Delia Smith as a Director. Delia, whose culinary talents extend to mouthwatering recipes for numerous Italian variations of classic pasta dishes as well as providing matchday meals of Michelin **** standards. Fabio would just gobble them up happily.
Norwich is unquestionably a very attractive city, just like Verona really minus an outdoor opera venue like the Arena di Verona. However something tells me that he isn't an aficionado of that kind of music anyway. More of a George Benson fan I suspect.
At his time of life, a left-field idea like this move to the EPL might just float his boat.
