Statement signing......

I’d say too much money but very little sense if we sign Barnes. I’d rather find out what James Hanson is up to and offer him a few hundred quid a week than pay even half of Barnes’ £30k a week until the end of the season.

Agree if we sign Barnes, what finds it difficult to get in an average Norwich side then it's fucking embarrassing

How do you know he is on £30k per week ?

 

[AnstonBlade1]

There won’t be any statement signing be frees and loans.

 

[Houston_Blade]

The media reports that have been shared on here, they might be bollocks but if we pay an injured and out of form 35 year old anything more than beer money it’s not ideal.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

I wanted us to sign Nathan Redmond in the summer, but saying that he's played 12 times for Burnley this season and got 0 goals and 0 assists.

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

Kyle Walker... In the same vain in which Brian Dean came back again again in 06. Just to get bums on seats for the last half of the season.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Sargent would be a serious statement of intent signing but he’d be very very expensive.

Ellis Simms might be a more realistic but still expensive target he’s having a down year this year but has been effective previously.

Sargent would practically guarantee promotion.

We'd be looking at £25m though surely.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Ok, if I were in charge of our signings for just this window I'm all in.

BBD
Sargent
Kyle Walker
Harry Maguire
Tommy Doyle

And Barry Bannon for the U23s

 

[Eric_Brooks]

Kieron Trippier on loan would make the biggest impact

* don’t think it’s realistic but it would be a statement

 

[Eric_Brooks]

Willy Boly at forest

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Usually when a club changes to new owners.

They like to make a "statement" signing.....
In order to show they mean business.

Who will be our "Statement" signing? Do you think?

Brayford?

It’s good to dream

 

[Jon Bon II]

It’s good to dream

I recommend a full slab of Seriously Strong extra mature cheddar, about an hour before the transfer window opens. That's what's got me through previous ones.

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

Franck Ribery.

Or BBD

Ribery? May as well try and revive Epstein

 

[Yogi]

I think you’d be looking around that 20 mark for him yeah which is probably what we’d have to pay for a striker in the summer if we did go up.

It’s not going to be a cheap start to life as owners for the new board if we go up.

Agreed. If we go up then we may have to yoyo for a couple of seasons before becoming established.

 

[The Crab]

Agreed. If we go up then we may have to yoyo for a couple of seasons before becoming established.

I’d say that’s more the reality than a massive splurge

 

[petcharlie]

BBD and Doyle plus another center back nOw that Soutas crocked

 

[Jon Bon II]

Ribery? May as well try and revive Epstein

What, to replace Wilder? He could certainly manage a 1960's popular beat quartet but not so sure about a modern day football club.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Looks like the statement signing is mcburnie

 

[Blades1971]

Re the above
God No

Wingers

McAtee would be a statement as would have loved Doyle back but he is playing well for a wolves so we have no chance there.

Jaden Philogene isn't getting much game time but not sure if he would drop down.

Wilson Odobert is struggling for game time at spurs and we are crying out for a fast winger like him.

They are the statement ones I would like to see us go for.

Tyrhys Dolan at Blackburn Young winger at Blackburn fits the bill of what we are looking for fast tricky and a skilful winger not sure how much Blackburn would want though.

Tyler Goodrham at Oxford another young player that has a bright future ahead of him at Oxford bagged a few goals and assists so far in a struggling Oxford team.

Strikers Borja Sainz if we want to make a statement go and get this lad he would make a big difference to our team.

BBD for obvious reasons can play wide left and as a Centre Forward.

Will Osula never wanted to see the lad leave he is the type of striker we have been crying out for with Campbell injured.

Josh Maja quality player at this Level scored 10 in 24 games so far this season.

Oli McBurnie would like him back to compete with Moore I was sad to see him go in the summer as I still think he could have been a key player in our team.

Awoniyi at forest (probs unrealistic)

Out of those most of us think BBD is coming back.

Less realistic:McAtee and Doyle are part of match day squads so I don't see them coming. Maja or Sainz would both be good acquisitions but will the Americans commit the amount of money that will be required to sign them and im not sure their clubs will want to let them go.

More realistic: Philogene wd be a great loan, did well at Hull, back at Villa and not really featuring, a loan for the second half of the season wd suit us and the player and possibly Villa. McBurnie because it wd be a Bladey thing to do and we need competition for Moore and he's better than Barnes. Goodrham would be gettable, one reservation is his size, do we want another small player in central midfield?

The other big question is which CB and is ot a loan or a permanent. Last nigjt Robinson reminded us how important that acquisition is going to be.

Loan to buy if we were promoted, player won’t have to move away either

Josh Sargent?

Poor man’s McBurnie from what I’ve seen of him.
