Otis62 6 Posted January 28, 2019 After Daniel Farke’s comments about possibly strengthening the squad with a winger would Jamal Lowe be someone that would fit that role if available ? I thought he really stood out for Portsmouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 28, 2019 I doubt the club could afford him as Portsmouth would he loathed to lose their best player so late in the window, especially when pushing for promotion. It would be the equavilent to Norwich selling Buendia or Pukki. I would expect any late moves in the market to be a loan rather than a permanent signing. Norwich don’t have much cash to play with and with promotion an uncertainty it is hard to plan ahead. Loan in someone now and there is no long term commitment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otis62 6 Posted January 28, 2019 Yes, that’s true. The next few days will be interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 28, 2019 Personally, I doubt anyone will be brought in. Farke wasn’t full endorsing a new signing and January is an expensive month to do anything, even loan signings. I don’t think Norwich’s need is so great that they will be prepared to pay any large sums of money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,652 Posted January 28, 2019 With players coming back from injury we do have a near full first-team squad, but with Marshall, Thompson and Morris our of the picture a homegrown player wouldn’t be a bad idea - we’re only an injury away from being very short. I personally think we’ve not quite been up to speed in defence. The combination of Godfrey and Zimmermann hasn’t done badly but we have shipped too many goals in recent games after what was a decent Oct to mid-Dec. Klose coming back could be key, if he breaks down again we will surely be wishing we’d brought someone in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,652 Posted January 28, 2019 Hanley doesn’t seem to be fancied at the mo - but my concern would be Klose breaking down and us perming 2 from a choice of only 3 for the remainder of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you sell the idea of coming in and being 4/5 choice to a new player who is actually going to be better than Godfrey or Hanley. Personally I’d say the centre back position is where Norwich are strongest right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted January 28, 2019 Agreed - if we need anyone, it'd be a left back and a right/left winger for me. We have played Aarons and Godfrey at Left back, but only in an exceptional circumstance. Its a small squad, but every position bar these two is covered, though the homegrown situation is a bit of a challenge: GK - Krul, McGovern + Oxborough RB - Aarons, Passlack, Godfrey (assuming Pinto is leaving) LB - Lewis, Godfrey, Aarons CB - Klose, Zimmermann, Godfrey, Hanley CM - Tettey, Trybull, Vrancic, Leitner LM - Buendia, Hernandez RM - Hernandez, Cantwell AM - Stiepermann, MacLean ST - Pukki, Rhodes, Srbeny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt we’d want/get anyone in now but our current defence just always looks like it will concede at some point.

It’s not as if Norwich would be able to 3 or 3 centrebacks all as good as Klose. I don’t think Klose’s injury has been the reason for Norwich conceding more goals, I think it is more the fact Klose’s injury has come when Norwich are facing some of the best teams in the league.

Redders Right Foot 22 Posted January 28, 2019 Afalley released by stoke. Decent player when his head is in it. Would be big question marks over his attitude and pay. But as a free signing who's capable of playing out wide - we could do worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norwich certainly tired to get him in the summer. Have to be a few question marks about why he couldn’t make an impression at Sheff U though and he isn’t really a winger, so may struggle to get much game time at Norwich as well.
