    Definitely need a DM to cover CBs. If this news is genuine then he could be in the side to play Arsenal. Who drops out?

    Lees-Melou imo. Gilmour and Mclean would be great further up with Normann in behind.

    Assuming he stays with Norway for international duty, he'll struggle to have more than a few days at Colney before the Arsenal game, so I doubt he'll be involved.

    Will it appease both the Doom Goblin and the Doom Elf?

    If we can pull that off, I'd be astonished.

    This is an interesting article about Schalke's finances surrounding Kabak: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spo.../ozan-kabak-free-liverpool-transfers-21186209

    Sounds like they're absolutely desperate to shift him, hence to price dropping from the £18m fee Liverpool had agreed, to the £10-12m Palace were thought to be debating, to....a fee Norwich can afford? I wonder what his wages are like.

    So far he hasn’t proved himself a trolling wind up merchant, deliberately misquoting and generally being obnoxious.

    It's the hope that kills you.

    Looks like Webber is offering the try before you buy deal that worked out for Giannoulis and Gibson.

    The permanent signing would only come to fruition if we were promoted otherwise they would be too expensive in the Championship.

    Any players valued at £15m and high wages could cripple our finances if we go down so he's trying to bring them in with the hope we stay up and then use the TV money next season to keep them on depending on appearances and performance.

    If it doesn't work out there may even be a clause to send them back in January.

    IF Webber managed to sign these 2 that would surely improve our chances of survival.

    Strange how things seem different to different people. Lees-Melou scored a cracker in his first pre-season game and does a lot against the ball as well taking on physical challenges. His former teammate Saint-Maximin (£18m Newcastle player) has nothing but praise for him. He could prove to be the long range goalscorer we need. As you say, time will tell

    I feel sorry for Sorensen after the way he came in last season and covered at full back even though he had never played the position in his life. I have to assume that Farke has watched him in training and come to the conclusion that he isn't good enough for the DM position, and after all Farke has done for us I have to trust his judgement. But I can't help but feel that Sorensen has suffered for being flexible. I can't see how he has a future with us now.

    I know I sound like someone who has a bee in his bonnet about Normann but I am really scared that this is a 'grass is always greener' situation where someone who wasn't good enough for Brighton when he was 21-22 is suddenly the bees knees, while someone who calmly did his job when thrown in at the deep end and who is a known quantity suffers in comparison (the Becchio effect). I hope I'm wrong, but my instinct tells me Normann is a mistake.

    The good news is that my instinct is awful, so probably Normann is going to come here and be a hero. <laugh>
