I was really happy when we first signed Slimane as he seemed to add something extra to the midfield in his first few games, looked solid with a good eye for a pass, but after his injury/signing the permanent deal he never seemed to settle back into a rhythm again. Mind you the same could be said about Nunez and Marcondes.
With a value of €2m in Transfermarkt perhaps he could be another one on a loan with option to buy for a relatively low fee if he succeeds
One for the future: "Norwich City are closing in on the signing of Derry City youngster Glenn McCourt as they continue to add to their youth ranks this summer. The teenager, nephew of former Celtic and Northern Ireland international Paddy, is poised to join the Canaries development squad after a pursuit that saw Norwich beat off competition to land the highly rated midfielder." https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwic...h-city-closing-derry-youngster-glenn-mccourt/
He seems a very level headed young man. He looks more mature than 17 in the photo on pink'un news site.
New striker alert: According to a Danish source "Norwich City are interested in signing Brøndby forward Mathias Kvistgaarden." No idea about how reliable this might be. Could be his agent or Brøndby seeking to force a deal. Kvistgaarden looks good on paper, but £11m would be a huge gamble on our part. Obviously it would only happen if Josh leaves. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/n...rgent-replacement-amid-ligue-one-competition/
He can also play off the left or right. I was wondering whether he could be a Sainz replacement. Seems to be good with both feet
Reading between the lines, he may be a wide AM who can also play as a striker. The Pinkun has picked it up now and says we're interested, but they'll probably cancel that tomorrow, lol.
Not sure you are right there Rick. He could be a straight replacement, and I think, upgrade, for Sainz. Apparently he likes cutting,in from the left to attack the goal. Sound familiar? Hope Teemu puts in a good word for us at Bronby.,
It's all a bit vague, but TransferMarkt describe him as a centre forward who can also play out wide. I was influenced by the article describing him as a striker when, reading between the lines, he could be seen as a wide player who can also play as a striker, as I said above. I'll have a look at his compilation video. I'm still a bit concerned about the £11m fee, as our record isn't great on big fee players. So far, Sargent is about the only one who has justified the money paid for him.
Apparently the club have rubbished the story saying they have made no offer and are not likely to. Pity, looks to have great potential.
Strange because it was described by the Pinkun like this: "Norwich City are admirers of Brondby attacker Mathias Kvistgaarden, but face stiff competition for the Danish international." I can see that the club would have to wait until either Sainz or Sargent leaves before they pay that kind of money. Where did the club's comment appear? For those interested, here's the compilation:
Nico Williams has signed a new deal at Athletic Bilbao so it would seem that destination is off the cards for Sainz
Such a good point. We are singularly bad at spending big money. I can’t imagine many other clubs have such a poor record in the over £5m cost category
The PinkUn guys said we are still actively interested on their live podcast this lunchtime, but it would be an ambitious move given the clubs reported to be interested. The club have watched him for a long period of time. He would ideally be a replacement for Sainz but also as a backup striker, similar to how Crnac operated last season.
