Oxford Canary 0 Posted July 17, 2019 No inside info but I just have a feeling we might sign Bielek from Arsenal. We tried 2 years ago when Farke arrived but he got injured just as we were about to sign him on loan. Great season at Charlton and in the U21 Champs. Desperate to leave and sounds like move to AC Milan has fallen through. Can fill our much talked about defensive midfield role and also centre back. Also noticed that Hull have signed a winger on loan from Everton. Does that mean Bowen is on his way? Both would be great IMO and transfers done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Could be a good call Oxford. With Godfrey's good news this may be less of a concern but I'd still like to see a CB/DM signed and he might be the best option available. He also counts as 'homegrown' having been at Arsenal since 2015. Edited July 17, 2019 by Yelloow Since 72 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 18, 2019 Would love Bielek, but Arsenal don’t want to sell and if Milan couldn’t agree a deal I don’t give Norwich much chance. I don’t think he’d be the solution to the DM position either, with his best performances coming from centre back. I don’t think the wingers coming in at Hull means much in the immediate future of Bowen. Hull know that he’s going this window due to his contract situation. Where he goes is still very much up in the air and there isn’t any reliable information that Norwich are even interested in him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He might want to stay in England if he's settled here and speaks the language. Sure, Milan's a massive club, but it'd be much less upheaval to stay within 100 miles of London. Season-long loan, perhaps, with an option to buy if we stay up? Although I guess that point is moot if you don't think he'd be a solution to the DM position.

Although I guess that point is moot if you don't think he'd be a solution to the DM position. As he’s someone who was happy to move at 17 from Poland to London, I don’t think he’d be someone who then worries particularly about moving to Milan - especially considering the status of AC - while they aren’t the super club they once were they certainly have significant pull. The issues wasn’t Bielek not wanting to go, but Arsenal don’t want to sell. Especially with the issues they have with their centre backs right now. If there was anyway of Norwich getting him permanently then I’d jump at it. Personally I think he’s as good as Godfrey, and could have an even higher ceiling for his ability. This is why Arsenal don’t want to sell him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted July 18, 2019 There's a report on the transfer thread saying that Arsenal do want to sell because Bielik doesn't fit into their current playing style. The deal with AC Milan apparently fell through because they weren't prepared to pay the asking price, thought to be around £3m. If we are interested, that would seem to be a reasonable price.

Given the thread is entitled Kristian Bielik, I thought the content is appropriate. Not sure what value yours adds to the thread though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted July 19, 2019 There is no way Arsenal are letting a 21 year old international coming off a good season go for £3m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
