Transfer Rumours The Rumour Mill, summer 2021

Acura Sports also said on 26 April that:

"Todd Cantwell has signed a new deal at Norwich City Football Club. The club remain hopeful that Emi Buendia and Max Aarons, who have offers on their table(s) will sign on to stick with the Canaries for their PL Campaign."

Has anyone seen anything about that?

 

Spollox

 

Steely Dan have a song (and album) called 'Aja', pronounced 'Ajer' - sorted

 

Tettey has signed a one year deal with Rosenborg, that's great for him.

 

Norwich City could be set for disappointment in their pursuit of Jacob Murphy as Newcastle United plan to trigger their option to extend the winger’s contract at St James’ Park, a source has exclusively revealed to Football League World.

Murphy has made 23 appearances in the Premier League this season under Steve Bruce, scoring two goals and registering two assists for the Magpies, whose top-flight status is now secure.

However, the 26-year-old is out of contract at St James’ Park heading into the summer and a source has revealed to Football League World that Norwich are keen to reunite with the player.

Yes, I read that and was similarly sceptical, Cromer. According to my nephew, who is part of the Toon army, Jacob has been a disappointment up until he began to find form again this season, particularly in the run in. I'm not sure that he'd be a good fit in our style of play and I suspect journo imaginative play here.

For an even more impressive (and amusing) example of lazy journalism try this:

He’s recently been playing as a RWB

 

We have a new striker!

Well, at least the development side do.

Kenny Coker joins from Southend.

 

Is he a striker? So far I’ve heard Striker, CB and RB!

 

Sounds like the new Dion to me

 

Wiki says striker:

As does the Official site:

SW updates the situation with Skipp and Nyland:

Just seen a couple of photos of Kenny Coker. He looks to be a huge unit, and only 17 years old. If he is still growing it is frightening what his eventual size will be. He played a couple of trial matches for the U18's earlier when we were able to assess him and he was able to check the academy out.

 

I felt the same about him, and he must have something to force himself into Southend's senior squad at 16.

 

The curious case of Angus Gunn has now cropped up. After his excellent year with us he moved to Southampton and never really kicked on. He's been on loan at Stoke since January and done well. Is he a better option than Nyland to provide competition for Krul?

And here's SW's latest take on the transfer strategy:

https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/canaries-stuart-webber-transfer-window-strategy-7973822

Quality not quantity is the key.

 

Angus would be a great signing.
Good keeper and excellent back up for Tim

 

But would he want to come back to us for a place on the bench?

 

He is good enough to force out Tim.

 

I don't think we should spend a transfer fee on a back-up keeper

 

Gunn was on loan to Stoke last season and played well, so a loan might be an option. Like Bure, though, I think he'd provide genuine competition for Krul and certainly a solid backup if Krul is injured. Much may depend on whether Nyland agrees to stay.
