Prediction: 9th
Looking at the players Norwich have brought in this summer, four of them will probably go straight in to the starting eleven and improve it massively. Add to that the permanent signing of Javier Garrido, and I’m struggling to think of a Premier League side that have had a better transfer window.
Goals, or a lack of, were the main problem for them last season after Grant Holt failed to replicate his form from the campaign before. He’s been shipped off to Wigan now, and his replacements should do a much better job. They’ll have a good season.
