Marley and Sam had a good pairing at Barnsley under LJ and Winnall would be quite cheap at 1-2m. Bannon is one Owls player I'd like to see at City.

What’s the point? Just ignore it and wait for the announcement on the official site. A desperate craving for attention. Genuinely tragic for a middle-aged man if you ask me.

Ivorguy Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Is he merely signed as a squad member or will he be a first choice? Is he signed to move us a step nearer promotion or bolster us against relegation? Will his Norwich career prove to be a blip or an accurate assessment of his quality? We really can't say, but presumably the club's coaches believe he will bring something to the team/squad. For us fans a real case of wait and see. Being picked for Wales means little I fear, after all Engvall was lauded as an international and Hörður (whom incidentally against otib opinion I still rate).

I'm not convinced with this player at all, he's had two good seasons, one in league 1 and two years ago in the championship aged 27. The clubs he has played for are Cheltenham, Hereford, Inverness, Bath City, Barnsley, Norwich. No doubt Johnson will see him as one of those players he can trust, well, I'm more interested in players who can play at least this level. I'll give him every chance to prove me wrong but this kind of signing is a waste of a wage, he's not shown much up til now that he is knocking on the door of playing in the Premier League. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Bit of a gamble and the price reflects that. Player has something to prove. But at £1m that’s a fair price for a player who at worse will probably play an important part in the squad or could end up being a bargin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched him a few times for Bath City and I thought even then when he moved to Inverness it was a bit out of his league.. let alone on to Barnsley and Norwich. Judgement reserved of course until he plays don’t get me wrong, just struggling to get excited about this one. Weird then that he went to Barnsley & scored 15 in 66, with double figures assists too.. Hardly “out of his league” there, was he? He was also hugely popular with Barnsley fans.. Norwich clearly didn’t work out, whether that was down to him or them we will find out.

Graham, he is not better than what we already have. He is a lazy signing in that we've only signed him because LJ knows him. If this is how our recruitment system works we are fuxjed.

He’s better than Elliasson, and it gives Elliason the chance to go on loan to league one and get some regular games in English football. Overall a solid singing.

Fiale Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 So we are the first club to have actually paid a transfer for him his entire career - every other move has been a free. Initial impressions are a little meh... but hopefully he can prove a good asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been one of those who has pressed that case. However, I did post the other day on the transfer forum that I’d been made aware that in recruitment meetings back in May, LJ insisted he have more control over signings. I think this one proves that conversation definitely happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen him play several times have you? Jeez.............. When possible LJ likes to sign players he's worked with before as he knows what skills they'll bring, what type of person they are and how they'll settle in with the squad. Its sensible management to know what you're getting and far less risky than brining in a completely new player who you know nothing about what baggage they might or might not have.

Is he not a hard working addition to a team that wants to play a high pressing game, who has proven that he has an eye for goal and able to assist, at this level..? He’s also worked under LJ, so he’ll know his character and strengths. By “lazy”, do you mean “obvious” option..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
