  1. Really? I thought he instantly looked their best player for them. He put in 3 or 4 superb balls into the box and looked very tidy. Real shame he left as he would have had more than his fair share of minutes. Ah well, that's football.
  2. His record is woeful but is an emergency signing due to bodies needed. Only on a 1-year deal (with option) so nothing to lose really.
  3. He often plays the pass that leads to the assist and this skill can easily go unnoticed. A perfect example of this was actually also in the Watford game for Nunez's goal, which was assisted by Doyle. The initial ball round the corner to Doyle was played by Mclean. He's very underrated at this (although perhaps not as he rightfully took home the Barry Butler last year).
  4. A young talent called Billy G with expectations he could join the elite as a holding midfielder? We've been here before.
  5. We were over reliant last year on Sara or Rowe producing individual magic to score goals a lot of the time. I expect the goals to be much more spread out this season as we play more 'team' football rather than playing pragmatic football based on individual moments.
  6. Yes - sounds like Slimane is the only active target right now. Abu Kamara now more likely to stay than be sold, and then if they do receive a suitable offer, only then will a replacement come in.
  7. On CBs: "I think there is a good chance that we have two left-footers at centre-back at some point. It's about the positions in front of them. That's realistic for us."
  8. Just scrap the league cup, nobody wants it. Then make the FA Cup introduce all league teams, including Premier League teams, from Round 1.
  9. The deal has to be financially right for Norwich with a player like this. There are numerous examples of youth players that have been hyped at big clubs that have failed to live up to that hype or even get anywhere near that: Francis Jeffers Kerlon Josh Mceachran Ibrahim Afellay Federico Macheda Anthony Le Tallec Bojan Gael Kakuta John Bostock Freddy Adu (the original) The fact that Reiner was at Frosinone and didn't pull up any trees (2 in 22 apps) and would even consider moving to a club in The Championship suggests his initial promise is now nowhere near his rep.
  10. Taken from the thread on the Fabrizio Romano post by somebody who is presumably Polish/Croatian.
  11. "This guy have similar playstyle like Arek Milik from Juventus. He is also left footed. It has the physical parameters of a typical 9. He can find his way and score goals, but he is not a serial striker. Rather as a player to play with another typical striker." Sargent plays better feeding off a target-man style player rather than up-top by himself, especially in away matches. Could be a good buy but it's a risk at that price-tag.
  12. Get rid. It's clear a number of players have little respect for JHT (remember the pre-season snippet of Gibbs and Rowe sniggering about the team meeting?) so it's better just to clear house and bring in players that JHT wants and hence will play for him. It's very rare that young players fulfil their potential and make it all the way to the top in any case. In recent times, Cantwell aside, we've always managed to get decent money for our young players (Lewis, Godfrey, Murphy twins, now Idah, etc.) so just get rid.
  13. Not sure why some think we will suddenly start making £20m bids for players. It will likely be status quo, the only (albeit major) positive is that the debts are wiped. MA has a history of moneyball-esque tactics when it comes to player trading so don't expect us to suddenly be billionaires in the transfer market.
  14. Idah price is realistic (£6m up to £8m in add-ons is the price) Rowe will go for £10m (due to contract situation) Sargent, if he goes, will be £10-15m max.
