Brandon Williams

Don’t be surprised to see a short term loan agreed to get him back to the club after the window closes. You heard it here first

No we didn't it's been mentioned on here all through the summer that people suspect he may end up back here

[AJ 1,218]

I think we'd have been interested in him if United hadn't priced him out of a move. Not many will want to pay that asking price. A loan to buy deal sounds most likely but not sure United would entertain it

Get it done

I'd be very surprised because it will be impossible after the window closes. And what do you mean by short-term? The earliest a loanee can return to parent club is when the window reopens in jan. Like today was last opportunity for the flyn Clarke loan to be cancelled as this window still open.

Was it 10 - 15m they wanted for him?
A big one is also the fact that his wages are meant to be a bit mental.

£5m with an addon of £5m if we go up seems a fair deal. Lets see.
Would love to see Williams back.

Problem is that we are only after someone short-term before Sam and Dimi are back. It’d probably be a goer if/when Max departs.

I do think that view that we only want a short term deal is a bot hollow, if a player who the management really fancied as a player came available I suspect we would sign them knowing Byram or Max will leave at the end of the season.

Sorry but I read the same thing on here this afternoon so I never heard it here first.

Byram leave?
Doubt it, hes a sick note. No one above us would want him. Why do you think the Hammers let him go for pennies? He was costing them more in treatments.

You sort of did then 😉

[Capt. Pants 4,202]

Brighton are also interested in him according to some reports, so he's unlikely to come here.

I don’t think Sam is that good to be honest 

[corbs 147]

Giannoulis much better

Oh my god he's not a right back why do people insist he is?

He’s both, and played for us as both. My comment clearly suggested he might be brought in as a l/b, the problem being we’d then be overloaded with l/b’s. But as he’s a utility defender we may think about him when Max goes.  I think that makes sense.

ahem

[Yellow Wal 314]

This actually highlights two problems.

1. How the stockpiling of players ruins their careers by not allowing them reasonably priced moves.

2  How the stockpiling of players denies lesser clubs the opportunity of building teams for their future.

What happens to players that are not named in the 25 man squads? Perhaps a few, almost meaningless, cup games and then a season of what?

He's not really both though- he's a left back who can play right back at a push. Fine for a few games but not a long term solution at right back, in a similar manner to Byram at left back right now.

If we're selling Aarons I think the club would be looking for a proper, specialist right back rather than a player who has spent the vast majority of his career at left back and been pretty vocal about how much he prefers playing in that position.

Honestly, this idea of coming in to cover for a few games is perfect for an up and coming youngster at one of the big clubs, especially one who is trying to get game time for the world cup with a smaller nation perhaps.

In that case just use our own U-23 left back 🤷

[king canary 7,580]

Can we just be clear that we cannot sign anyone on loan now the window has shut. That option was closed off about 10 years ago.

Has anyone suggested otherwise?

We can sign out-of-contract players, though.

Brandon Williams is going to ask Man Utd. to rip up his contract so that he can come to Norwich on a short term loan?
