Zoo 2.0 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 As much as Bayern have massive pulling power, they have Benjamin Pavard at right-back (currently injured) and can play either Niklas Süle, Joshua Kimmich or Bouna Sarr there. I'm sure Aarons would back himself to make it in Germany but at the same is first team football realistic for him? We could genuinely offer him first team football, alongside who I assume would be a good friend in Ben Godfrey. I don't think it's blue tinted glasses to suggest that we could beat Bayern to his signature, simply because of the above (and having Ancelotti).

I don't think it's blue tinted glasses to suggest that we could beat Bayern to his signature, simply because of the above (and having Ancelotti). This point cannot be stated enough. Quite frankly with Carlo in charge only a handful of names are out of the realm of possibility. For Aarons it's one thing to play with a friend, know you have the starting job, and stay in the country you're familiar with. None of those would be enough to keep him here. Carlo is.

We should spend the money on this player, and Cantwell, both going to be top top players, and would benefit us. markjazzbassist, Matt, Romey 1878 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't, I would say it's a no-brainer that we could get both Aarons and Cantwell. But if they do come up, could easily see them hold on to their prized assets.

He might feel he’s done his part with getting them back up and want to move on and Norwich will need to raise funds to bolster the squad. Kenny with some cash might be a nice solution all round.

Aarons only one year left on his contract and its highly unlikely he will sign an extension. Apparently he was promised, like Cantwell he could leave when they got relegated but Norwich reneged (for obvious reasons). If he stays he will go for a free next year. They will cash in.

London Blue Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I have watched Cantwell allot and he is quality, he has such an amazing football brain, can see pass's, where the spaces are, how to draw off defenders. Plus he can pass really well and quickly. Finishing is good, he can play anywhere across the attacking midfield. He is like Scholes, but not ginger.

Hafnia Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 He will want to get his future sorted asap. ... No footballer would be happy with less than 1 year on their contract. There's a fine line, yes he may get more salary because of a lower fee but one bad tackle and it's bye bye to a £15m contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 As always, it's only rumours but I've seen a few people online staying that whilst they could afford it, Bayern are not convinced enough about Aarons to pay the fee that Norwich would demand. Manchester United are also interested, but as is pretty widely known the board have not sat down to discuss transfer strategy yet, so haven't made contact with either club or player. Everton rumoured to be pushing "hard" to get this one done (as below). markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post c1982 Posted February 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Sometimes a deal just makes perfect sense - I remember thinking the same when we signed a lot of players under Moyes e.g. Baines, Jags, Yakubu - at the time, each were the exact player we needed - this seems the same.

c1982 Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 It’s the Norwich model where they’re happy for their players to progress elsewhere as long as it works financially for them. They have one of the best academies and their recruitment in general isn’t too bad either - selling Madison to Leicester stopped them from going into administration a few years ago. Norwich are a well run club now - they know, they’re very much between Prem/Championship but they stick to a positive playing style. Norwich aren’t a team with an illustrious history and they don’t have a particularly big fan base/ draw via location and their owners aren’t particularly rich compared to other clubs so it’s not a bad model in my opinion. markjazzbassist, Romey 1878 and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would fully expect Carlo to make him work for it. Coleman, Holgate and Godfrey are all in there too when everyone is fit. Not an easy bunch to shift. Even the great Leighton Baines had to fight to get in at left back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
