Tetteys Jig 851 Posted January 13, 2020 got a feeling he will be pure back up at least to start with. Solid squad addition but not sure he addresses any of our weaknesses (defending set pieces and having a defensive line sitting way too deep and desperate). Very much feels like a clone of Stiepermann or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,167 Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Not my Wiki edits, honestly 😂 And which of you scamps put ‘better than Trybull and Tettey’ under his playing position? Edited January 13, 2020 by Alex Moss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,925 Posted January 13, 2020 Really weird one when every single Norwich City person would say we really need reinforcements up front and in central defence. So we sign 2 central midfielders. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,471 Posted January 13, 2020 Bit of an odd signing, not exactly young and hungry, sort of looks like a German McClean. But hey let’s see how good he is, if he’s an improvement on what we have then great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m trying to remember who we’ve shipped out in total, I’m guessing this is the replacement for Roberts, but he can play RB too apparently. And I agree, I’d be very surprised if we’ve not already had enquiries about Buendia, Aarons etc - Daniel has been quite open saying in the last 24 hours that if a mega bid comes in then of course we will look at it, that’s football unfortunately.

Samwam27 606 Posted January 13, 2020 Says he can play anywhere across midfield, or can play full back! Let's hope he doesn't Rupp-ture anything early on lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean Coneys boots 1,531 Posted January 13, 2020 Football manager suggests a player worth around 5 million who is championship standard. How accurate that is - anyone’s guess!! He seems to be a central midfielder who can play wide right as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 5,885 Posted January 13, 2020 Yeah, strange to sign a 29-year-old central midfielder, doesn't really fit the template. Still think Leitner might be on his way this window, so maybe that's why he's come in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeemuVanBasten 3,328 Posted January 13, 2020 Bit an odd one, apparently his agent was touting him to Middlesbrough. I can only assume we're expecting somebody to depart, possibly Moritz Leitner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,610 Posted January 13, 2020 On the face of it a strange and underwhelming signing that hints to me of us stocking up on attacking midfielders ahead of sales in the summer after relegation. I am somewhat at a loss as to why we have otherwise signed two attacking midfielders who appear similar types of players to what we already have (smallish, technically decent) rather than some genuine pace or extra physicality or indeed a f**king defensive player or two. obviously though I hope he turns out to be good.
