Norwich City
chief executive David McNally believes his club pulled off a profitable
coup by signing a high-profile player like Joseph Yobo during the
January transfer window.
The Canaries secured the loan signings
of both Joseph Yobo and Jonas Guttierrez in January, and McNally
believes that the players, who he described as being of 'first-class'
quality, are good value for money.
"Those two were crucial reinforcements," kickoff.com quoted McNally as saying.
"Joseph
has played 95 times for Nigeria and Jonas 22 times for Argentina and
bringing them in on a short-term basis, knowing the character of these
men is first-class, was better for us than investing in a four-year
contract on someone of less quality. That was the judgement we made.
"Having been in the game many
years now, January is about short-term measures to ensure the squad is
complemented rather than a wholesale re-shaping of the staff."
Yobo has walked straight into the starting line-up
of Norwich City were he partners Sebastian Bassong. The 33-year-old has
also been recalled to the Nigerian national team for the friendly game
against Mexico on March 5.
