    If he goes to Turkey, he'll be back in January to a League One/Championship club on loan or free. That's my guess.

    He sounds like exactly what we need really and would be a quality addition.

    I’m same as you, I think I’d prefer Browne out of the two but would be happy with Norwood.

    Reported that Norwood was on 24k a week last year it seems, Yorkshire Post and others.

    He'd need to take a pay cut to come here. Not sure many 32/33 year old footballers fancy a paycut. Might be a pipe dream.

    I wouldn’t be shocked if our wage cap rises it’s gonna have to if we are targeting better players and getting a big sale

    I’d assume most at that age will take a pay cut, not in their prime anymore and not a saleable asset, probably more concerned with the length of the deals offered. Having said that if those figures are right he’ll still instantly be up there with our highest earners.

    Fair point. Time to start developing those youngsters.

    I think Browne is more of a box-to-box player rather than a proper DM like Norwood, correct me if I have this wrong.

    I would like to think with all the PSR / Financial things we have seen reported in the press from the Premier League down will start to filter down to players wages as well and players will have to realise that wages have to come down from recent times unless your a "world class" talent

    Almost all leaving a relegated club to play at the same level will have to accept a paycut though unless they move to another club with parachute payments.

    Great news, feel like his exactly the type of signing we need in the middle of the park.

    Would be frustrating to lose Stewart then 12 months later we raise the wage cap anyway. I know it's not as simple as that but you do wonder....

    Don't like to see any player injured but I think stewart was a great bit of buisness by the club ( hope he gets back playing and has a great career)

    Yep. 1 year deal with the club option for another year. Getting Dack off the wages was crucial.

    Where does everyone stand on Ba? Personally, I think if Roberts is off he’d do a fine enough job as a back up RW. Although, I wouldn’t blame him if he wants to play regular football.

    I think he has bags of potential, just seems very raw and makes poor decisions. Still only very young to be fair to him.
