Branston Pickle 3,656 Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Good to get it done - hope he comes back fit and firing for a new PL season…. Edited July 22, 2022 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted July 22, 2022 Good loan, that. Should be on the front foot in a strong team by Dutch standards, and European football to boot. It worked for Cantwell, albeit in the division below. Must say we've been VERY good at moving players on this window, whether it were players who weren't quite going to make it with us (Adshead, Famewo, Bushiri) or getting loans for those who are still fighting (Mumba, Placheta, Tzolis). Granted, only the season's performances will really highlight if it was great or not, but it's clear to see what they're trying to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted July 22, 2022 Will be good to see what he can do hopefully playing football week in week out, clearly the club have high hopes for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted July 22, 2022 Good luck to the lad, easy to forget how young he is - far too early to write him off at Norwich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted July 22, 2022 I think there's a potential top performer in Tzolis - I'm delighted it's only a loan. Hope he turns it on & enjoys himself next season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he does well at Twente, hopefully he comes back ready for better times, or maybe with a few sides willing to pay us to keep him longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear you, but he was heralded as a key signing in a promotion season and off the back of the sale of our most important player. Whether he comes into his own for us or not (highly unlikely) he was a waste of £9m when we signed him. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 662 Posted July 22, 2022 This club drives me nuts. What's the point of investing in "exciting" young players if we don't give them the chance? Could have been a difference maker this season at Championship level. I will be amazed if he ever puts on a Norwich shirt again. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes they need to be developed elsewhere, Tzolis clearly wasn’t mentally or physically ready so go somewhere where he’ll get some game time and come back a better player it worked for James Maddison and Cantwell, I’m sure Tzolis will also benefit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,410 Posted July 22, 2022 I think the level of clubs that were looking to take him on loan should tell you a lot about his ability and potential. If he can come back with more confidence next summer then we could absolutely still have a player on our hands. I'm basing this purely off the pre season training vids but he didn't appear have the conviction of the others in his position. As Yobocop has mentioned, we all know what a year in Holland did for another of or young wingers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,893 Posted July 22, 2022 And guess who also plays for FC Twente? That's right, Ricky van Wolfswinkel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted July 22, 2022 Doesnt say much for him when the club 'doesnt thnk he'll make an impact in the championship this season' or words along those lines The championship!... So we spent £10m on.a.player who they dont even think good enough for that level! The most reprehensible piece of transfer business this club has ever done, when that money could so blatantly have been spent elsewhere last summer 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,410 Posted July 22, 2022 I think it's confidence more than a talent thing with Tzolis. We want to build him up but with the number of more ready players we have (Rashica, Cantwell, Sargent, Hernandez). The Dutch league is a great place to go and rebuild that confidence. He came in to a new country with massive expectations and obviously it hasn't worked. He's still very young so there's obviously time. Calling him one of the worst signings we've made is idiotic. Clubs competing in the Champions league wanted him even after last season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it is one of the worst signings There were areas of the team that clearly needed strengthening last summer and a club with a sizeable /yet limited budget simply cant afford to get something wrong of that expendidture. Taking £10m punts on 'promising' youngsters is something the likes of man city and chelsea do and can afford to do. We cant. .not when there were other areas of our first team that needed that money invested in first 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
