Terminally Yellow 2,440 Posted August 18, 2021 Interesting line in the free agent article... Norwich are likely to utilise at least one of their foreign loan spots for the midfield position in a similarly structured deal to what saw Dimitris Giannoulis and Ben Gibson arrive at the club. https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwich-city/canaries-ncfc-free-agents-centre-back-8247046 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Interesting they are now mentioning this international loan-to-but thing as ‘likely’; it’s not uncommon, and how we got Amadou (though you’d hope any transfer this season worked out better). It’s a good potential way of getting a player you can’t currently afford. Edited August 18, 2021 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,316 Posted August 18, 2021 38 minutes ago, Christoph Stiepermann said: I don't think Bournemouth are a very good club to try to raid players from. They pay extremely high wages and could argue in a years time they will swap leagues with us. If we're looking to raid a relegated team I think Sheff Utd would be a better bet, I'd have John Egan here without a doubt. That would raise a bit more interest in City round here as he's a Caaark boyeeen. Decent but unremarkable player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaberry2 544 Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Reading between the lines, its going to be Brandon Williams coming in on loan imminently to provide cover/competition to fullbacks and a loan to perm option (of some quality) coming in from Europe somewhere for the CDM position. Then it begs the question if any monies are left over to pursue a CB option, but all this talk of looking at free agents via the pinkun etc, I wouldn't be surprised to see an experienced face come in on a free for a 1 / 2 year option to steady the back line & provide a little more experience and leadership.

WSM 62 Posted August 18, 2021 I know Kamara might not even be possibility for Norwich (although apparently Newcastle bid £12m) - but he is entering the last year of his contract - potential deal to be done? Not sure how it would work with a loan with option to buy - Kamara would have to sign a contract extension at Marseille first I would think to ensure he didn't go on a free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The issue with that is that he wouldn't be being signed as a player for the bench (given the outlay). He would be signed because Farke has told Webber that he needs a high quality DM to play the system he wants. That means we either have to change system to drop him to CB in an injury crisis or we are in basically the same position as before. I can't even remember where this rumour came from, but it seems unlikely anyway. I'd be happy to be wrong about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More than £17m, IIRC - but a relegation, financial trouble at Bremen and Rashica being in the last year of his contract certainly lowered the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted August 18, 2021 Proper rumour for a DM. Normann has been pushing to leave Russia for a while now and is expected to go somewhere this summer.

Christoph Stiepermann 1,120 Posted August 18, 2021 I dunno, if Chris Hughton didn't fancy a defensive minded player at this level that makes me doubt his ability, Potter who is a good coach didn't fancy him either. I can't imagine he has suddenly improved loads by playing in Russia, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man U and Southampton both made moves for him last year but Rostov asked for a big fee so walked away. He’s been a bit of a revelation at Rostov but has been asking to leave as he wants to play in a better league. Norwich would be lucky to get him in all honesty.

Agreed, although I am usually a glutton for most of these prospective signings after reading the hype, and the usual list of other clubs with a similar interest (Newcastle, Palace. Saints etc.) The only one recently that I dismissed was Sargent, and look how mistaken that might have been. Never quite fancied Billing either, come to think of it, especially at the cost.
