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. We are complaining about our defense, we have Scotlands best centre half, and apparently close to signing Turkeys. These are incredible times. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If true that is an Incredible signing - I am sure there will still be fans asking how we let Ajer, Dann and Cahill through our fingers - and questioning the board's ambition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danbury Yellow 126 Posted August 30, 2021 This really is excellent news. I’ve no idea what’s wrong with what I assume is a small section of our support, perhaps next year we can go for a European spot, hopefully you can handle this news guys? This has 100% been an excellent window for our club and I think we now (assuming this signing completes) have a better squad than enough of the rest to stay up this season. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1902 1,167 Posted August 30, 2021 This would be as good as we could have reasonably hoped for if its true and would explain why we dropped out of chasing Ajer. For me this would be all the positions identified as needing strengthening done. I don't think Farke could complain he wasn't given a shot this time around. Im also happy with the loans with option to buy route. Limited chance of being landed with players we can't afford or who don't make the cut. We really seem to have identified clubs in difficulty and grabbed any resources they have, it looks good work by webber. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's also sales of players like Maddison and Buendia that make the Tzolis’s and Kabak’s of this world consider us. Do well for us, and we will not stand in the way when you want to move on (as long as we get a fair fee). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

makham 81 Posted August 30, 2021 43 minutes ago, Coneys Knee said: Wouldn’t surprise me but I still worry that we’d be potentially leaving ourselves short Hope we keep hold of Zimbo, too. A couple of defensive injuries, and there'll be less sense of panic. We have plenty of space in the 25-player squad. I think I counted up just 18 the other day, and that includes the likes of Byram, McGovern and the latest signing, Normann. So many of our squad are still considered under 21, which is fantastic, of course. Great news about Kabak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jsim1986 149 Posted August 30, 2021 This is just ridiculously brilliant window, after watching Leicester I was thinking we definitely need a CB and CDM and we pull out two quality signings. We may be second bottom but we played 3 of last season's top 5. These players are going to be ready for the games we will be looking to win, absolutely buzzing, never been this excited as a Norwich fan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzar 1,702 Posted August 30, 2021 I think we're seeing why Farke agreed to the new contract with this window. Webber has really backed him, and I think he'll also stick around after next summer. You can also see we potentially have the sale of Aarons or Cantwell next summer to help fund next season's roster with the same quality of signing as this. It really has been an amazing window - full credit to everyone involved, especially Jim Smith and DCB who've pushed the club so hard - without them, none of this would have been possible! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
