Daniel Farke opted against commenting on links with Sheffield Wednesday striker Jordan Rhodes.
Speaking to EDP journalist Paddy Davitt, Farke said that he loved having Rhodes on loan, but did not want to comment on speculation.
Twitter: #ncfc DF on Rhodes link: ‘We loved him and he was crucial to us last season but he was contracted to #sheffweds’ (@paddyjdavitt)
Twitter: #ncfc DF: ‘Of course I would like a £40m striker or a £15m winger. But it is not possible at this point in time.’ (@paddyjdavitt)
Rhodes had been linked with a move to Norwich this week, amid reported interest from Championship clubs.

Will Adam Idah now get chances in the first-team this season?
It would appear so. Idah has been promoted to the first-team squad, but the arrival of Rhodes would have made him the 4th choice for the striking position – limiting his potential opportunities.
Despite Idah still being behind Teemu Pukki and Josip Drmic in the pecking order, it only takes one injury for him to be called upon on the bench – or even possibly to start.
The teenage forward scored 12 goals and assisted four in 19 games at under-23 level for Norwich last season, which suggests that he is ready to make the step up to the first-team and could be the next young star to make the breakthrough under Daniel Farke.
