Incoming? Tod Cantwell

[Balham Blade]

I saw a Norwich fan on twitter other day saying £22m Godfrey, £27m Aarons and £18m Lewis. That's nearly £70m for defenders that have all conceded 60 odd goals

Interesting that even in that cyder-addled, fevered mind Buendia is only £14m.

Lewis and particularly Aarons were very impressive in the Championship but both have had weak years. With them I think you're paying for potential, but after such poor seasons I couldn't see either going for anywhere near the money being touted previously. £15 million for Aarons tops, but Lewis isn't going for more than £10 million. Wouldn't surprised me if one of them stays with Norwich next year.

Must admit, as much as I've seen Norwich play, Cantwell is still a bit of a blind spot for me. Buendia has always been class against us, and stands out in other games I've seen, but I've never really spotted Cantwell much besides when he gets in good scoring positions, like he did against us at Carrow Road this season (top save btw from Hendo). That's not to say I wouldn't be keen on getting him, nor to suggest getting in good scoring positions is in any way not a good thing, but just to the point I don't feel confident enough to judge his ability. Maybe I'll try and watch the next game if he starts.

Cantwell has a relegation clause

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Cantwell or Buendía

 

[Nick Jansky]

No fucking thanks. Soft as shit. Even admits he’s scared of heading for fuck sake.

What has heading ability got to do with anything for a midfielder in today's game? Fortunately the game has progressed a very long way from the ball spending half the match pinging about in the air.

I reckon this is going to be a 100-pager.

Cant Todwell.
I am just not able to see him in a Blades team. Not a bad footballer, just looks too delicate for us.
Buendia.
More like a Wilder player.

No mention of Pukki either.

That's a very expensive team for one that ain't reight good

Well obviously Lewis, Godfrey and Aarons are class players, but the fourth defender is proper wank. Think a combination of the worst attributes from Collins, Nosworthy and McEverley.

We need to look deeper AHAHA

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Hmmm.. Cantwell and Swift for RCM, looks like Lunnys gone????

Not necessarily. We are just adding to the squad in preparation for playing in Europe next year - in order to avoid it being the complete disaster that some fans think it will be.

B = Be
R = Reight
S = Sheffield
U = United......

Done deal then

Stuff like this that makes me think he's not for us. Looks like he's a superstar in his own head.

Definitely looks like it but definitely doesn't play like it. Nippy as fuck that lad.

'Hey Farke, you eat that contract. But leave enough room for my fist, cos I'm going to RAM IT INTO YOUR STOMACH AND BREAK YOUR GODDAMN SPINE!'

Wilder there, negotiating fees for Buendia and Cantwell.

Imagine the social media content he could generate with McBurnie, though.

In fairness he’s probably being paid a daft amount to advertise for Puma there. I wouldn’t turn it down either.

I'm putting 2+2 together and getting about 30 but...

Antoine Griezmann has commented on it and used to play for..... Real Sociedad

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Looks a good player and seems a bit of eccentric-personality wise. I dont mind that though - the dressing room needs characters and our lads would have him in check very quickly!

Reminds me of a young Kanye West.

 

[Sam64]

As much as I think he's a knob, would love him at United. Then I'll love him for being a knob,

 

[S40BLADE]

Clapped in the head but attitude wise is so driven like Hendo.

If Buendia is available for £14m I’d be absolutely snapping their hand off.

 

[tincan]

Please no, leave all the relegated not good enough fodder for Leeds

 

[S40BLADE]

Liverpool signed Wijnaldum, Robertson and Shaqiri from relegated teams. Always some quality to have a try at.

My mate in Norwich has just said don't bother with cuntwell (his words) and if Norwich would let him go take buendia (totally class player and always puts in a shift)
On a negative note he reckons he is a mate of fessi

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Looks like any normal 22 year old kid to me.

I hope the rumours are true. The lad is a great talent with years ahead of him.

I just don't get it how anyone could not think this would be a great signing? Don't get me wrong, there are NO guarantees that any player will turn out to be a great player for us when we sign them. It's always a gamble. But to be in this position now, where we are capable of attracting top talent to this club is quite amazing actually. I mean, honestly, I'm still pinching myself to think we are potentially shopping for players like this, given where we were 3 years ago, signing players like Martyn Woolford (now ripping it up at Boston United).

I don't think I will ever understand this Sheffield mentality though, even though I've lived here most of my life. The "summat bad might 'appen" mentality, the "glass half-empty" way of looking at life. It's rife around these parts - more infectious than any coronavirus - and not even wearing a mask can protect you from it. Thank God some of us are immune to it.

There is only one thing more infectious than enthusiasm - and that's a lack of it.

To all those Blades who are already questioning the wisdom of being in the market for such a good young player, I'd say...have a day off. Try looking at this in a different way maybe? If he signs and it doesn't work out then so what? You win some, you lose some. What I do know is that the current team, good as it is, needs an injection of a few players who can tear up the script a bit and do something a bit different. To me, Cantwell is that type of player and I cannot wait for us to add those type of players to our squad.
