Pyro Pete 1,907 Posted October 31, 2022 If it's Man Utd, I'd add another £10million to the price tag. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,227 Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) He’d be back up. Likely back up only for ‘front foot’ games too…though still a lovely move for him. I suspect Norwich have had a hand in ‘getting this out there’. To even bring players in they will ‘need to make headroom’. Expect plenty more such PR. Where is such further cash coming from for any necessary changes (a Pukki and Cantwell replacement say)? Aarons (some) say £10m plus long-dated wall trophies, Omobamidele (too early, somewhat undermines model), Nunez? (not yet), Gunn some at a push? Sara? (Not yet), Sargent money back? Tzolis £5m? Rashica a long-dated £8m with caveats? Dowell a few million? Others will just run down the clock.. I am not sure that our jewellery box is that full. The ‘pissed up the wall’ window had Klose, Pinto, Naismith, Maddison and Godfrey. Klose lasted and was worth his money (even equation), Pinto ditto, Naismith (say overall negative £15m), Maddison say plus £18m and Godfrey say plus £20m. Overall say a broad brush stroke +£20m? We may wish for a Farke-ish replacement for Smith, though what is there to play with? Norwich minus Pukki scares me.

Pyro Pete 1,907 Posted October 31, 2022 Also, we know we can't rely on Byram to remain fit. So unless there's a recall option for Mumba, it's hard to see this being sanctioned in January. Summer, maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted October 31, 2022 The way he is playing at the moment I'd be ecstatic with £10 million. It's a shame, because he's been such a loyal servant to the club and kept his head down during rumoured links with massive clubs, but he's going backwards fast under Smith. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is very much a wing back and not the large, muscular full back that Smith prefers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We tried to get last minute cover at LB before the window closed, and failed. Far too risky to have Byram our only RB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellowrider120 767 Posted October 31, 2022 Here we go again! Every transfer window the same old 'links' (and new ones) magically appear only to lead to the sum of zero. Meanwhile Air Rons form continues to dip. Clubs have no doubt looked at him and having seen he is slap dash at best with the art of defending, have decided to move on to other targets. I would be amazed if Ten Haag was happy to shell out £10M for a full back who struggles to defend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary dwarf 221 Posted October 31, 2022 Dont think this will happen , defensively been suspect for a while now , he needs to come out of the firing line a break will do him good ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rottingdean canary 117 Posted October 31, 2022 In terms of potential Crown jewels, Gibbs looks promising but as Parma says with Omobamidele it's a bit early to cash in. Difficult to know about Rowe and Springett as they've been unlucky with injuries when they would otherwise have got a chance to prove themselves at this level. But they both look as though they have the right mentality to make it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Channon’s Windmill 327 Posted October 31, 2022 How many transfer windows has the been rumour of a move for Max? Only difference is the club are probably pushing this one. He looks a really unhappy player atm who’s stock is falling by the game. Best for both parties if he gets the move, although I don’t think Man Utd will be the destination.

Samwam27 531 Posted October 31, 2022 EDP also saying Galatasary interested in making Rashica's move permanent. If we could recoup as much of that £8m, I'd snap their hands off to invest that back into the squad. With Max's current form I'd be surprised of any takers, but I'm sure we'd hold out for as close to £15m as possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,087 Posted October 31, 2022 Aarons has the tools he will be cheap at for 15 million when played in correct tactics and allowed to raid down the wing in a team that can cover his runs will look completely different player he is young and English i would not be surprised if he has a long PL career Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulfotto 640 Posted October 31, 2022 This is a getting tedious is it not? there has probably been a 15 million price tag on max for the last 4 seasons but I would assume no one has ever made a concrete offer. As we are the ultimate selling club if a concrete offer arrives we sell always have always will. This sort of talk does Max no favours in my opinion I’m not sure anyone will pay the money given the performances against Watford and Burnley. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bradwell canary 109 Posted October 31, 2022 Let’s face it. If Webber in the past could have got some of the transfer fee quoted in the past season……he would have been sold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay then. Lots of England U21 appearances doesn't always translate into excellent career. Kieran Dowell has 17, for example. The reality is that as good as Max Aarons is with his feet, he's sh*t in the air, and we look far less vulnerable from high balls when he's not in the side. Things like sell on clauses, bonus for a full England cap etc, will no doubt form part of any deal, where we see more come our way if he does thrive and become the next Trippier or something.

Parma If they fail to go up this season then it’s clearly “transition period” time where high wages and assets will need to go. Aarons has stuck around too long to the detriment of his own career. This Man U idea could be a really good one for him provided he at least gets a chance there to show what he can do. The “new” Norwich will be built around the likes of Gibbs, Gunn, Big Andy, McCallum, Sargent, Rowe, Springett and maybe Cantwell if he can be convinced that he’d be central to the rebuild since I don’t think he’s going to get much serious interest from any prem sides. Norwich minus Pukki doesn’t “scare” me at all, just might be an end to the current yo-yo. Conversely, it might even make me a bit less apathetic and disinterested. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
