great addition this.. superb player

 

[robbiez666]

Very good player and if we've agreed £2.5 million for him then it's very good business. Let's hope that we decide to actually buy him in January!

I can see Coutts playing on the right side of midfield with Norwood in the middle of the 3

Coutts in the middle dictating the play for me in a 3,flanked by Norwood and Fleck. going box to box.

It’s just been on Sky Sports news as “breaking transfer news”.

‘We understand that Brighton have accepted a 2 million pound bid from Sheffield United for Oliver Norwood.
He has a medical tomorrow, the deal is initially a loan and then made a permanent transfer in January
Where Norwood will be given a 2 and half year deal”

If we can attract and make a deal with Norwood, makes you wonder what sort of wages Waghorn was after..

Luvly jubbly.

Well done CW (and his backroom team for negotiating this deal), and well done Utd for spending the money.

 

[Harry's Game]

What an upgrade from Evans that is.

Get the forward in and we could be in business again.

 

[diplomat]

I thought he was great for Fulham against us last year. Made me look up who he was mid game which is quite rare.

Excellent signing.

There’s even the ‘skip survey’ option which is even simpler

Excellent signing.

Exactly what happened to me !
He looked a real thoroughbred.

 

[YES Blade]

Yes watched him plenty when playing for NI very capable attacking midfielder very good addition imo

Agreed, I thought he was excellent in Northern Ireland’s last two qualifying campaigns.

I thought he was better than Cairny who everybody was raving about after that game.

 

[Gimli]

If this is on, I’d be delighted. Excellent signing, looks to get forward at every opportunity and a definite upgrade on Evans.
Plenty of time for the deal to be scuppered though in true United fashion...

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Well, this is a bit sexy...

 

[YES Blade]

Not enough goals in that midfield for me, I’d prefer to stick with Duffy or Woodburn behind a front two.

Then it’s two from Norwood, Fleck and Coutts. So would be up to Coutts to force his way back in when fit.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

£2m for him?!!!! We’ve robbed them blind. He’s worth double that.

A comment from Owlstalk on the signing of Norwood:
"I am sorry but if you have to sell your entire saleable asset and loan out about 15 players just to get him on loan just shows what a poo a hole mess dem pigs are in and I bet that they won't buy him in January just yet another wilder smoke screen...not touched Brooks money...

Put massive million pound bids in....no one coming into the club as they don't have the funds....then they are getting loans...and can only get them If that lad goes to Wigan...but he is on loan and not buying him till January but wilder says they have made a massive profit what a load of poo that bell end is can't stand the guy if I could poo on his face now I would."

A village somewhere is missing it's idiot

4 million for him we've robbed them blind. worth half that. Brentford F. C.

It was also on the Sky Sports news band, however it says
SKY SOURCES report that Brighton have accepted a 2 million bid for Oliver Norwood from Sheffield United

So this news hasn’t been received from either SU or Brighton football clubs.
But the fact they are reporting it infers the source is reliable.

Sounds like everything has been verbally agreed subject to contract.
Sounds like it’s 90% in the bag but as you say it’s SU, so something could go wrong at the last minute.

Yeah,that is a problem YB,i agree...It's fitting them all in,we've lacked goals from midfield for a while...Looking at our midfielders,there's only Woodburn who has more than 3 or 4 goals a season in him,and he's unproven at this level.

Most of the other comments on the thread are pretty sensible and are pretty jealous of the signing.

 

[Speedracer]

Well this is exciting, if Coutts gets up to speed quickly our midfield will suddenly be the envy of our rivals & surely propel us forward another level.

 

[Silent Blade]

Does anybody know how to read this fucking forum?

What makes me laugh is how they think there won't already be a thread on it.

Like me, not many are bothered about reading "player suggestions"

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

So what's his problem then ?

asn't got one .........
until his 1st misplaced pass @ t'Lane

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

I could see a midfield with him, Fleck and Coutts. He's not as marauding as Fleck but he looks for the forward pass a lot and gets into the pockets outside the penalty area, where as Coutts sits and dictates tempo more. Could be a nice three against difficult opposition.....where playing Duffy as well might be a bit too adventurous.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

4 million for him we've robbed them blind. worth half that. Brentford F. C.

No. Egan will prove his worth. Difficult circumstances to start in. Poor team selection and tactics plus crap performances around him.

 

[Pinchy]

Well, he has scored against the pigs in a 3-1 win at the rust bucket so he’ll do for me gungadin!

Leon got two in a 4-2,but he’s so shite he should be booed and abused.
