Sean 11 Posted August 22, 2021 I think we'll sign at least 2 of the following.. Brandon Williams (loan) Matthias Norman (loan to buy) Joe Worrall (10 mill) I have no sources or evidence but believe that there is real interest (from trawling through gossip columns)Â Would people be happy with these additions? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and no. I'd be happy that the three areas which still need addressing have been dealt with but I'd still be a bit concerned that about the lack of experience as neither Normann nor Worrall have ever played at the top level and would probably need a period of acclimatisation. Yes, I know that proven players cost more money and may be out of our price range but I think one of the CB/DM signings needs to be a player with top level experience and leadership qualities because it's something we're still a bit short on compared to other sides. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,669 Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Any ideas who those players might be?  That’s the problem....Cahill might have been a good fit, but Geography saw to that (if we were interested at all).  I’ve seen Bmuff fans bigging it that they could attract him and we couldn’t, but the fact is plain and simple - he has a young family, didn’t want to move and it’s +1hr each way from Cobham to Norwich; he’s at a place in his life where that matters. Edited August 22, 2021 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,669 Posted August 22, 2021 I did wonder if we might look to scupper Lewis O’Brien’s possible move to Leeds - he’s reportedly available for around £5-6m+ add ons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HB1989 27 Posted August 22, 2021 Nat Phillips is apparently available for around £10m - £15m from Liverpool. Maybe that is one Webber could structure for less with a sell on clause. Maybe another CB option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brewster and Ibe are two examples...they've hardly excelled since they left. Jurgen would keep them if he saw real class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know enough about Normann, but I want to see an out and out ball winning midfielder and it doesn't seem he is one. The other two would be ok, Williams I feel is a good player, Worrall I would have to see if he can step up but wouldn't be underwhelmed.

Bovril 219 Posted August 22, 2021 O’Brien a tidy player, and at £5-6m would be decent value too but he’s another box to box or No. 8 type rather than the screener that we desperately need. If we had spare cash then O’Brien would be the type of signing Webber would go for but he’s not the DM we need right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,669 Posted August 22, 2021 Looks like Normann played the full 90, as the middle man of 3 in a 5-3-2, according to Google (they won 2-1). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jpootz 15 Posted August 22, 2021 I wonder if Webber might push the boat out a bit more than he had originally planned to get the DM and CB after our less than inspiring start to the season. Whatever happens it’s going to be a very important week for the prospects of staying in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
