Another of Peter Grant's signings is being linked with a hasty retreat from the shadows at Carrow Road.
David Strihavka could go the same way as Ian Murray and Chris Brown, both on the verge of leaving Norwich at the earliest opportunity since Glenn Roeder took over from his failing predecessor.
Strihavka has been linked with a move to Germany's second division with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and with a return to his native Czech Republic with Mlada Boleslav.
The former Czech league top scorer seems to have struggled to adapt to English football following his move from Banik Ostrava in the summer for a reported £1million. It is unlikely he will command such a fee should he leave Norfolk this month.
