Rogue Baboon 0 Posted January 31, 2017 So Dijks would be a LB (to replace Olsson), Wildschut more of a LM/LW who can play LB (to replace Brady)If so, I think I would take that at the minute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted January 31, 2017 I agree, but although a CB would be nice a new LB was crucial (we didnt have one!) and a LM to replace BradyIf we can get them done we may have a few million spare (Olsson money + Brady money - Wildschutt money) to go after a CB - McDonald maybe?Would also like to see a back up LB, although i guess Dijks, Wildshut & Whittaker will be deemed enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,503 Posted January 31, 2017 Bloody hell £7 million sounds steep. Certainly, it seems Wigan fans are delighted with it.I presume this means we''re getting full whack for Brady? £12-£14 million? Would be happy with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BSEYELLOW 34 Posted January 31, 2017 Had a quick look at youtube (not to be trusted for a full opinion) to just get an idea of what he is like. Looks like a carbon copy of Pilkington to me. 2 footed, strong, tall, relatively quick, good long shot and a bit of calmness where needed.Seems a lot of money, but it was going to be the case for all our targets today seeing as everyone knows we are getting 12m+ for Brady. Suggestions that hes an all or nothing player, so should fit in well with the squad this season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted January 31, 2017 If we get Wildschut in, and Mitchell Djick on loan with Brady and Canos out, will people be happy with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,455 Posted January 31, 2017 I don''t think we need another winger and would rather we invested in the defence, so not really. However as usual we need to wait to see how it pans out once they are in and playing before passing any judgement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imo we need a centre back now rather than in summer, if we let Turner, Bassong, and Bennett''s contracts run down our negotiating position will be poor as every club in the world will know we''re after centre backs. Given that we can''t afford to shop in the markets we''d like to at the best of times, that wouldn''t be a good situation to be in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E I E I E I O 0 Posted January 31, 2017 No we are selling players this window for a 10mil profit approx.While clubs like derby and Brighton who have not got parachute payments have more going out the bank than coming in. We have needed a major defensive rework (mainly at CB) and forward line for too long and yet again the club is sleeping and letting this window pass without fixing the issues! The league position does not lie, however the majority of Alex Neil''s signings have been poor anyway, resulting in them being shipped out on loan or warming the bench anyway. We also have a board that after 3 successive season in the prem had still not upgraded the playing squad to the next level. Therefore I am not at all surprised and don''t expect either to happen. To that end you end up not really caring what they do as they will reap what they sow. Especially given they have a doormat support that takes whatever is dealt to them with very little grumbling. I think the majority of our support has nothing better to do with their lives than watch Norwich and post on the Pink un forum. Hence 99% of discussions end up 8 pages long and turned into a discussion between the same old posters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Six Pack 89 Posted January 31, 2017 left winger + upper body strength + Norwich City FC + desperation = makeshift left back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,455 Posted January 31, 2017 @kieran Our system doesn''t really have two out and out wingers. This season our best form has come with Wes and Naismith interchanging down the left. We''ve then also got Josh and Pritchard who can play there. If we sign Yanic and Canos and Brady leave we''re still left trying to fit Jacob, Josh, Wes, Naismith, Pritchard, Yanic, Maddison and even Jarvis into 3 spots.

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted January 31, 2017 EIEIEIO - money doesn''t always equal success & no money doesnt always equal failure...If we can get Wildschut & Dijks in early, it gives us the rest of the day to make enquiries and possibly go after a few other players, such as McDonaldHowever, we dont want a situation like the summer where we spend our money on a player we dont necessarily need instead of covering the areas we do need.We need to replace OlssonWe need to replace (or keep) BradyAnything past that is a bonus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
