JAL_NCFC doesn’t think we’ll see Henri Lansbury or Dani Pacheco in Norwich City colours any time soon.

After Norwich`s success last year in the loan market in bringing in Henri Lansbury and Dani Pacheco to the club many fans wanted the popular pair to return to help with City`s Premier League challenge on either permanent or loan deals.

With Lambert telling fans that he would see how things paved out on either player’s return, City were reported in The Sun to have made a £2m bid for Lansbury last week. Nothing has materialised from this rumoured bid, yet the 20-year-old midfielder seems to be on his way out of Arsenal.

Lansbury has 12 months left on his current contract with the Gunners and Arsene Wenger is keeping his options open before offering the midfielder a new deal, with Lansbury being left out of the squad that went to Asia for a pre-season tour.

With Arsenal in need of defenders they could use Lansbury and fellow team mate Ignasi Miquel in a deal to secure long term target Gary Cahill. The two young Gunners would move to Bolton on a season long loan deal with a view of a permanent transfer.

Dani Pacheco meanwhile looks set for a season of trying to break into the Liverpool first team. The young Spaniard has been with the first team on their pre-season tour in Asia, starting the first match of the tour and impressing Kenny Dalglish.

Pacheco, who flies to join with the Spain Under-20 team for the Under-20 World Cup, had been close to a loan move to Coventry this week. The transfer broke down at the last minute though according to Coventry boss Andy Thorn with Liverpool wanting the player to stay closer to Merseyside.

If these reports are true than when both players return to Carrow Road they will be on the opposition team, rather than wearing the Canary yellow and green shirt where they gained many admirers last season.
