HazzaJet 252 Posted February 27, 2022 Lee Bowyer has said he would love to sign Hernandez on a permanent deal this summer. What do you think about the possibility of him going? I think it might depend on whether we lose Rashica, but Tzolis, Dowell, and Placheta can also all play there Although I doubt we would get much for him, I think it might be a good idea if we got rid of him as he’s only got one year left on his contract, fallen out of favour, and not good enough for the PL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,577 Posted February 27, 2022 I think he'll be gone. The club decided to loan him out twice, he's not been in the first team plans, probably on decent wages and I imagine they'll be looking for fresh attacking blood next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted February 27, 2022 It would be sad to see him go, but the harsh reality is if we receive an offer for any of our players, which meet our valuations, then I think they'll be seriously considered. Despite what people think, we don't actually sell that much, so will take all opportunity to optimise the squad and wage bill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Pete 1,889 Posted February 27, 2022 I think we've seen the last of Onel in a Norwich shirt. Hope he finds a new Argos to fulfill his needs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,674 Posted February 27, 2022 No, he loves us and we love him. Rashica will leave and so will Sargent We will need him next season. Come home Onel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulfotto 622 Posted February 27, 2022 I would give Onel the decision to make. If he’s fully fit he can make an impact in the upper end of the championship and would be a useful player to have around. But he knows the score right, if we get promoted (again) he wouldn’t be needed he may only be a bit part player. His stock might be higher now after a successful loan spell at Birmingham than it might be after a season on the bench for us. Tricky decision I wold make him and his agent make it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,735 Posted February 27, 2022 He should be sitting on our bench right now given how weak it is... moreso after Cantwell was shipped put and Tzolis deemed not good enough 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,926 Posted February 27, 2022 We do need to trim a bit, but he's earned the right to choose. @Ulfotto makes a very good point that his stock could be quite high as a result of this loan so we could get a bit more for him, not to mention get the wage off. Will be a little sad to see him go, along with the likes of Klose, Stiepermann, Vrancic, etc. They all played their part for us - and you can't dislike a guy who puts the club badge on as a tattoo!

Badger 2,405 Posted February 27, 2022 It might be that Dean Smith has a different view on Onel. he has not worked with him before and might like to "have a look at him" as they say. The other thing is that I think that Birmingham have been playing Onel as a No 10, which I think is an interesting option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jersey Canary 143 Posted February 27, 2022 I always liked Onel. Fitness let him down. He looked too bulky last season when we saw him in my view but now he’s playing he looks like he’s trimmed down a bit. I’d give him another go if we get relegated. He’s far more productive than Placheta. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But when we’re chasing a game I can’t understand any justification for PP over Onel. Poor decision 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarydan23 4,060 Posted February 28, 2022 If Raschia does go then I think it'd be silly to let Onel go. He loves the club, loves the city and is demonstrating that in the right environment is still a dangerous player in the Championship. I don't think too many people will argue that Placheta is better than him and we'll almost certainly be losing Cantwell. Therefore there will be space in the squad for his position so if we sell him (and what could we realistically get, £3-5 million?) we'd probably need to replace him. Not sure we can get someone better for that price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,615 Posted February 28, 2022 No denying that Onel would be a more threatening option from the bench than Tzolis has been at any point this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted February 28, 2022 Onel like others who might have improved our midfield sent on loan due to squad numerical limitations. Smith will need to assess a few loanees returning for a tilt at Championship. Finance likely to limit additions to the squad and look to the likes of Onel.

KeiranShikari 1,409 Posted February 28, 2022 I can't see any world where Hernandez plays for us again. The loans will have been about getting him some form in the hope we can find a million or two fee this coming summer. Didn't he only start 5 games for us last year? Not sure why people are assuimg Rashica will move or that Tzolis is done, honestly. Placheta, whilst not PL quality, has already looked massively improved under Smith. He has a decent cross on him and is rapid, more than enough weapons for a Championship winger in this type of system. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
