Norwood on his move to Sheff Utd.

“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.
“It is nice to be wanted. There were a few clubs linked and certain things went on. But until it is signed, you never know with football. Things can change from one day to the next.
“I couldn’t be any happier to be back up north and at a club going places. I just want to get going.”
It's getting interpreted as he didn't want to come to our club and that it's Sheff U who are going places compared to us.
That might be what he meant.
But it also might be that he preferred Sheffield over Hull as a location as he comes from Burnley. Live a bit NW of Sheffield and it's a fair bit closer to Burnley. And that he was merely commenting separately, without comparison to us, that Sheff U is a club going places. Plus it was claimed that he wanted to work with Nige again.
Having said all that, it's easy to understand why he would see them as a more attractive option than us these days.
