Nuff Said 5,088 Posted August 26, 2021 Pundits will love us signing Carvalho as it’s someone they’ve heard of, and they probably already know how to pronounce his name. Start of the season: “At last, Norwich signing experience to combat their naivety”. End of the season:”Norwich should have stuck to their game plan of buying under-valued players with potential“. ☹️ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 2,604 Posted August 26, 2021 3 hours ago, Crafty Canary said: As often as the God awful Guardian ? Not sure if this is tongue in cheek but for many, many years now, it has been widely accepted that the broadsheets tend to, though not always, hold themselves to a higher moral standing and level of responsibility. You'll find better researched and investigated articles amongst them along with some that carry supplements that are considered as industry musts - Times Educational Supplement for example, or the Financial Times, the Guardian has some too. The tabloids are well known to be penny thrills, largely based upon "opinion" - though this is often more to 'gaslight' people to buying their paper than it is to actually report or share anything new. Their online presence is no exception and they usually make click-bate articles of the type of trash that twitter etc throw at you. "30 life hacks" and all that rubbish. There is a special fiery place in hell for the Sun and the Daily Heil. One is owned by a bunch of moral-less people who are happy to have their "journalists" hack into a murdered girls phone so they can listen to the desperate messages left on it by her panicked parents. And to this day, still refuse to apologise for their part in painting Hillsborough as the result of drunken, thuggish and unruly Liverpool fans. The other supported and were fans of the Nazis in the 1930's, the lead up to WW2 and continue to support a far right wing agenda. Both are happy to make articles about Katy Price going bankrupt one day, then how much she is spending on a toy car or some such for one of her kids the next... The Guardian and other broadsheets don't have quite as potted a history as that. Make of that what you will. I rarely buy newspapers anymore because largely, I don't believe you can trust in any one single source of information and you need to cast your net wide to find a bigger picture of several angles with which to triangulate. But the Sun and the Daily Heil - no. Waaaay off grid and not in a good way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthCarolinaYellow 197 Posted August 26, 2021 Carvalho is quite the name to get fans excited but I'm struck that it doesn't make sense currently given the roster and budget?? Maybe ...

KeiranShikari 1,409 Posted August 26, 2021 The rumour is Carvalho on loan so no Cantwell sale needed thankfully. No chance sorensen is going out on loan eother. Unless silly money comes in I think it's just Hernandez/Placheta that are likely to go now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorthCarolinaYellow 197 Posted August 26, 2021 I take back the above as assuming Farke sticks with the 4-3-2-1 ... we've McLean, Rupp, Gilmour, Lees-Melou, and Sorensen for 3 positions. In theory. A true CDM would be the last piece in midfield. AM is another story though as we've Dowell, Placheta, Hernandez, Tzolis, Rashica, and Cantwell for just 2 positions.

They are both important first team players and would need replacing - there is almost no time to do that so can't see Norwich sanction a sale. Only caveat being if there has been something going on quietly for a little while now and Norwich have already lined up a replacement. I'm pretty amazed Aarons is still around, but seems no club has firmed up their interest for him. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless something already happening in 2 directions underground it's just very unlikely. It's why their values were pretty much made public as soon as we were promoted.

NorthCarolinaYellow 197 Posted August 26, 2021 Shifting gears a bit, we've done quite well to get better loan spots for the kids than in previous seasons with all of Martin, Famewo, McCallum, Sinani, and Adshead at L1 or better. Omotoye at L2 Leyton Orient. It will be interesting to see if we can further get any of Oxborough, Sitti, Placheta, Tomkinson, Fitzpatrick, Dickson-Peters, Kamara, et al. out to a good loan.

Both are mentioned; the same with the Normann deal - guess it just depends who blinks first - Betis need the money and wages off the table to register their new signing Willian José - so they probably more likely in my opinion to agree to an option to buy, as opposed to Rostov who are less likely to need the money so can hold out for an obligation 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
