Big O 225 Posted July 29, 2020 There is usual a period of transfer domino’s dependant on 2 or 3 big transfers and then the rest happen quickly. The short nature of the window before the new season starts presents a bit of a challenge but the European trophies haven’t concluded yet and this maybe the catalyst. I originally thought the most likely outs from Norwich we’re Cantwell and Aarons but with Chilwell potentially leaving Leicester and Liverpool looking for a left back then I think Lewis might go to. I have a feeling that Buendia, Pukki and Godfrey will stay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly it is just like the housing market , Transfers have the same chain Effect which is not in full flow i am a for bargains and youngsters for future But if we sell a couple of our highly rated youngsters i hope the club splash out for some real quality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badger 2,405 Posted July 29, 2020 1 hour ago, sgncfc said: The point being, there are no guarantees. Was he a better buy at £3m than Zimmermann from the German fourth division for nothing? Exactly - or Godfrey - 1 or 2 million vs Klose's 8 million Or Husband - reputedly a million vs Lamal Lewis (very little) Or Ben Marshall (600,000) vs Aarons (very little) It just goes on and on. It's almost a rule of thumb! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 30, 2020 6 hours ago, Mason 47 said: Twitter rumours starting to circulate that we're in for Rob Dickie, centre back from Oxford. All I could see were two dubious ‘ITK’ accounts mentioning it. Dickie has been heavily linked to Reading (he was in their academy and is a Reading fan) this summer. Reading are likely to sell Liam Moore this summer and will use the money to get Dickie. Dickie had a great season in League One and can certainly handle the passing game Norwich play. Whether he’d be an improvement to the first team is a question mark though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Top corner 225 Posted July 30, 2020 Looking at the Oxford fans forums,they highly rate Rob Dickie. Apparently he’s a ball playing central defender, who can pick out a pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
