Earlier this morning, Sky Sports reported that Norwich have made a bid in excess of £10m for Fulham striker Ross McCormack.
This is fantastic news for Norwich fans, who are happy with the news. However, that is not the biggest talking point from the report. Sky Sports have claimed that Norwich’s rivals Ipswich Town have made enquiries for the forward.
This news has been greeted with laughter and confusion, giving Ipswich’s financial situation and previous purchases.
McCormack is said to be valued at over £12m, with Norwich currently the front-runners for his signature. The Canaries have already had two bids rejected, with Alex Neil hoping this most recent bid meets Fulham’s valuation.
Norwich and Ipswich fans alike have been mocking the news, with some classic tweets being produced as a result.
So, here are some of the best tweets regarding Ipswich’s supposed enquiries for the prolific marksman…
