I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, no question if he signs he'll be our first choice CB. Could pave way for 3 at that back being used more, which would suit our FBs being used as WBs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He actually played well for Schalke the season before they got relegated. Looked like Schalke was boo-gered beyond belief when they went down, but his marks otherwise looked pretty good.

Ward 3 483 Posted August 30, 2021 Id honestly like to see big Andy in a back 3 with WBs, could help max and who ever plays LWB saving some energy for transitions when we attack. We could really hurt some teams. 4 3 3 hasn't worked and a lot of us aren't keen on using it any more. How many games would you give 3 at the back with WBs?

That’s rubbish - you don’t commit potentially £10m+ to get a player who’s played for Liverpool, 40 times in the bundesliga and 12 times for his country as just ‘one for the future’. He’d be pushing the first team from the off. Edited August 30, 2021 by Branston Pickle 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,615 Posted August 30, 2021 People are saying that Kabak is 'young and inexperienced', but I'd argue that only half of that is true. 55 Bundesliga appearances, nine in the Premier League, eight in the Champions League and 12 international caps. I'd argue that he's more experienced than several of our squad, to be honest. He may be a few years younger than the likes of Giannoulis and Normann, but he's no less inexperienced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coneys Knee 1,048 Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) If and when this or another defender signs, do we think we’ll keep hold of both Zimmermann and Omabamidele? Or could this be the end of big Zimbo, or a loan move for AO? if we’re seriously wanting to play three at the back my guess is we’ll be keeping both at Carrow Road this season.

I'd guess we'll keep them both. Omobamidele is still only 19 so there isn't any urgent need to get him out for game time yet, and if we go to a back three from time to time we probably need all five. Zimmermann is little more than a backup nowadays anyway. 5 minutes ago, cambridgeshire canary said: Zimmerman to join Srbeny and Steiprmann at Padderborn. You heard it here first. And probably last.

Agreed - I’m not sure who people expect us to be signing with a better reputation!? If he’d gone to Liverpool and done really well he’d now be a Liverpool player, funnily enough we aren’t quite in the same ball park for players this window… Same thing with Williams, just because he isn’t good enough to be a first team regular or squad player for United at the minute doesn’t mean he isn’t good enough for us. Pretty ridiculous for anyone to think there isn’t an absolute chasm in terms of quality between us and them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whether Kabak is the right fit for us at this time is my only concern with this signing, but based on reputation and potential this would be one hell of a statement signing because he's been regarded as one of the most centre backs in European football for the last couple of years.

birchfest 401 Posted August 30, 2021 Wow some of the posters in here… I’m not sure what would make you happy beyond us signing Harry Maguire, and even then you’d say ‘oh actually he’s past it’. Not one for the future, and a highly sought after player with bigger clubs in the food chain than us sniffing around. But sure, I guess your know more than both Norwich and Liverpool’s recruitment teams. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
