"We faced stiff competition from clubs in the Championship, Scottish Premier League and also in the Bundesliga.[LNB]"I met with Stephen when we were up in St Andrews last week and had dinner with him. I told him our plans and how we see him fitting into them.[LNB]"He knows the set-up we've got at Carrow Road from playing here with Leicester City. Once again the lure of playing in front of a full house at Carrow Road has been a big factor in us landing a player and we need to thank our fans for that."[LNB][LNB]
