Indy 3,283 Posted July 20, 2020 Looks like exactly what’s needed. Great, a few more young hungry players please and allow those who feel their careers are elsewhere. Regroup and go again in six weeks time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,674 Posted July 20, 2020 Yet another youngester, can't complain. Still, given hes a midfielder pretty much confirms some level of Mclean/vrancic/Stepierman are off then 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Terrific. It's all as though this season has burned out on the back burner for those with proper thought (rather than the "Stowmarket two" obsessives ) and are totally focussed upon the progress and the real business of running our club successfully. There's clearly more to supporting NCFC than constant whinnying about the owners or the manager or whatever. The real business goes on apace.

Still, given hes a midfielder pretty much confirms some level of Mclean/vrancic/Stepierman are off then He's a defensive midfielder so more likely related to Tettey retiring after next season and probably Trybull leaving. Don't see how it's related to Vrancic, Stiepi or Mclean. He's also not a "youngster". He's 22 and has over 100 appearances in the Danish top flight. Certainly not going anywhere but first team squad. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also an option at centre-back if we get lots of injuries again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,718 Posted July 20, 2020 Hardly a youngster at 22 and he made 23 appearances in the league this last season so surely straight into the first team squad as opposed to one for the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted July 20, 2020 While I am happy that a CDM is coming in, we don't have a great record with the whole "this person plays 2 positions" thing. I'm not going to celebrate the fact that he can play CB until I can see some efforts being made to address the fragility of our back line this transfer window, getting some defenders in whose primary aim above all else is to defend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted July 20, 2020 Stats suggest he player at centre back twice last season. I don't think it is something that he has been signed for. Seems more an upgrade on Trybull and challenger for McLean (although probably not quite as good a passer as Kenny). He's good in the air, strong tackler and can dribble pretty well for a CDM. Will be a big transition from Danish league, but as Brentford have shown there is lots of joy to be had in bringing in players from there (also a certain Mr T Pukki). This seems a good signing, the analytics community are bigging it up as a good one for Norwich and seems there was a fair amount of interest in him. A good start to the new signings. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Bethnal - when I commented on that, I obviously meant that he could play there in a pinch, not that we were signing him with a view to him playing CB.

I know, just his CB ability is probably being a little overplayed. I know he said it himself, but players never know what to say in those interviews so just start listing off every position they have been in for the last few years - even it is for only 10 mins or so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,086 Posted July 20, 2020 Happy with this younger CDM who can get about and cover players something i think a ageing Tettey struggles with the last midfielder Lungi we had was Gary " three lungs " Holt so hopefully has good as him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGoogler 324 Posted July 20, 2020 Know nothing about the lad, but has age and height on his side. I have to admit I thought he was out of contract but comments attributed to his old club suggests we paid some money for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point is Tettey said he would retire after the 2 years (now one year) and return home. Given the fact he's been at the club nearly 10 years and still gets in the first team whenever fit, I just find the probability that Trybull, who is clearly out of favour and has only been here a few years is leaving to be far more logical than Tettey cutting his contract short. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Il Pirata 249 Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Brentford have had big success bringing players in from Scandinavia, mainly due to the links with FC Midtylland. Marcus Forss (Finnish) the next one to look out for. Edited July 20, 2020 by Il Pirata Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Load of Squit 5,116 Posted July 20, 2020 The best part of this signing is that it relieves Kenny McLean from any DM resposibilities, he'll be able to play in his best position, it's like we've signed two players. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
