5 Norwich City transfer mistakes the club must try not to repeat in January 2025
With the January transfer window looming, Norwich City will likely look to bolster its squad after a slow start to the season.
With the final international break of 2024 upon us, the Canaries are marooned in mid-table, seven points off the play-off positions, and without a win since their impressive 4-0 win over Hull City in early October.
Here, Football League World identifies five players who flopped at Carrow Road and continues to remind Canaries fans that the club would want to avoid similar signings in the future.
Luciano Becchio
The Argentine striker was revered among the Elland Road faithful when he swapped white for yellow on Deadline Day in 2013, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal which included Steve Morrison going the other way.
He joined the Whites after they failed to get out of League One at the first attempt in 2008, going on to play a crucial role in a team revitalised following years of decline on and off the pitch. During his time in Yorkshire, he made 213 appearances and scored 84 goals. He was part of the infamous 2010 team which won promotion back to the Championship and knocked Manchester United out of the FA Cup at Old Trafford.
However, he made just 16 appearances for the Canaries and failed to score before being loaned to Rotherham United in 2014, where he scored twice in five games. Becchio was released the following year following Norwich’s promotion to the Premier League.
