I think that would be a disappointing window for me. Signing Buendia is amazing but we need more. There was mention of a couple of big signings and I wouldnt put Alvarez in that category. If for example we signed Buendia, ESR, Young and Alvarez then we are cooking on a high heat but a perfect window you'd be wanting that plus a top notch DCM and then at least another centre back in some form. For me we have signed 1 big signing so far, a very good window we need 2 big signings and for a fantastic window 3+ big signings When I say big signings it doesnt have to be monetary value but players that will replace or competitively compete/be an alternative to current first team. Alvarez from what I've read and seen would be bordering on that but he would take a long time to settle and the high pace of the PL will take time to adapt. He would be one for the future. Bad drafting on my part: I was posing the question, rather than stating my opinion. Apologies. Fwiw, I do like to temper my expectations, but I'd be disappointed if we didn't land another centre half as back up to Konsa. And all this talk of JWP has got me very excited. Other notes: I'm hopeful that Chukwuemeka will get some time next season, but worried about Wesley... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 So Norwich have signed some guy called Rashica. On You Tube he looks amazing. And very gif worthy. I can't believe no-one suggested him. (Sounds fishy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a transfer doesn't materialise doesn't mean we didn't enquire, bid or even agree personal terms. No, no, no…..we can’t have been in for him in a proper sense, only to sign Traore for £16m and then Beundia for £33m for Rashica to be available at £10m. (But he’s have been more £15m+ for Villa).

HalfTimePost Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 We've discussed the guy for 2 years, can we move it to the Norwich thread? Milot would've been a really exciting signing last year but nowhere near as much this year. Let's just leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 If we can sign Alvarez and Pape Matar Sarr we will be in a position to slowly introduce them to the first team and not need to thrust them in from the off while they get used to the English game. ESR would be the icing on the cake but I think a stretch too far this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both £50m+ players if transitioned properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point changing one club for another when your game time isn't likely to be much different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 LOL Rashica. Can't wait to hear the Holte End give him an earful. I never disliked Norwich, but after the Buendia business and now that they signed The Rash, I will actively root for their relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
