Sour Mash Posted 22 July, 2014 Share Posted 22 July, 2014 Plus adds squad depth where otherwise we'd have one player per position Yep, adds an option off the bench of the type of player we don't really have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint-crinny Posted 22 July, 2014 Share Posted 22 July, 2014 Redmond is a potentially excellent player for me. In a struggling Norwich side he was often the most exciting player to watch whenever i saw them last year. Won the game for them against us at their place with some decent individual skill. He's one of those players that will make wrong decisions from time to time, but he'd add some much needed pace as well. I'd be happy enough if we signed him and worked on his development, he could become a very good player for us. Agreed that Forster would almost certainly be first-choice if he signed and Rojo would be a pretty impressive signing from us, particularly as we have "lost all ambition" and whatever else is being levelled at the board on here. Yes, the current squad looks thin on the ground, worryingly so at the back, but let's not completely meltdown until the window is shut. If we're still the same squad as we are today, or have lost Morgan and Dejan as is probably going to happen, then you can't get away from it - the window will have been a bit of a disaster and a scrap of a season is on the cards. Until then, let's try and keep relatively calm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Matty 76 Posted 22 July, 2014 Share Posted 22 July, 2014 There's a few ways it could end up, obviously we have the worst case scenario in; Boruc Chambers - Fonte - Yoshida - Clyne Cork - Wanyama - Davis Tadic - Pelle - Ramirez/Jrod A couple of signings and Schneiderlin staying; Forster Chambers - Fonte - Vlaar - Clyne Schneiderin - Wanyama Ramirez Tadic - Pelle - Redmond/Jrod Then the absolute dream scenario I guess; Forster Clyne - de Vrij - Vlaar - Rojo Schneiderlin - Wanyama Ramirez Tadic - Pelle - Redmond/Jrod I think we'll end up somewhere around the middle one which isn't bad at all, if you consider the fact you'll have Rodriguez back shortly after. As well as squad players such as Boruc, Yoshida, Davis, Cork and JWP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 22 July, 2014 Share Posted 22 July, 2014 Forster & Redmond would be excellent additions. Young & English - Pretty sure these are both long-term targets for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought by Hughton so I guess he had a plan for him, but he failed to deliver imo. Had a very good game against us which I think is why so many here want him, but he was very average over the entire season. I think we could do better for the fee Norwich want, but hey it´s why people have different opinions on most things I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
