Just to check, what are these undisputable FACTS that we've been told, and why do we think whoever told us the FACTS was being completely honest? I don't think Acun is deciding all the transfers, but I also don't think Rosenior necessarily wanted all the players brought in. I don't know for sure in either case, they're just OPINIONS. You know, those things which people were very free with about our previous manager.
Norwood's a decent player and I'd have no issue with him coming in, but Pete O'Rouke is a hopeless source, so I wouldn't read too much into it.
So? If Jonny Howson was available on a free transfer I wouldn’t want him either. Shall we resign Corry Evans too? He’s just been released and has a lot of experience at this level, promotion under his belt etc. If he’s such a solid player at this level and was so good in Sheffield United’s last season in the Championship when they got promoted, why haven’t they kept him on? Especially considering it’s highly-likely they’ll sell both Hamer and Souza.
I don’t think we should sign a 33-year-old midfielder on high wages to compete with our 33-year-old (in July) midfielder who is also on high wages.
Norwood can do one based on this what he said in 2018 “Hull did try to sign me,” said Norwood. “They tried quite hard but this is football, it is business. They couldn’t get the deal done and Sheffield United did. To be honest, I would much rather have come to Sheffield United than go there.
I agree we need someone there long term, we also need someone who is capable of bringing short term results and experience to the dressing room. He’s a Jack of all trades midfielder wouldn’t take him long to adapt to any type of system. We should sign him and another midfielder
