My mates a season ticket holder at Carrow Road and he reckon's he's shithouse

Chilean you say? Another for our South American bingo card.

Nothing really surprises me anymore, but this sounds like the sort of thing an agent will tout: "Oh look, Brighton sign young South Americans, let's say they're interested"

How many times have we paid £20m for an unproven South American kid?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Until it's 'HERE WE GO!', I'm out.

 

[The Fits]

For a few million more we could Scott. No thanks.

 

[Lurchy]

The only player I’d take from the current Norwich team is Max Arrons.

$20 million rumoured to be what we paid for Pervis (yes, I know it’s dollars).

What a player he has turned out to be. His contribution in attack has been a revelation. In some games, his average position on the pitch is in the opposition half.

So not only is that around £16m but he was also 24 when we signed him.

 

[Napper]

He's not Alex Scott , for that reason I'm out

Fair comment.
My attempt to be funny, failed miserably.

I dunno – Ashley Barnes has recently SINGED and he would guarantee three points from all the domestic cup ties...

 

[Mancgull]

Reported that he’s had a mixed season for Norwich. Hmm. Hardly a ringing endorsement.

 

[Lurchy]

We appointed Danny Hoyle to our recruitment team recently. He was the guy responsible for Norwich’s South American scouting and was one who brought Nunez into them originally.

So did Billy Gilmour, and by the end of this season people were raving about him.

I didn't know that. Mind you, I hadn't heard of him until a few minutes before I posted this thread.

Good spot Lurchy.

 

[The Fits]

Stats wise:

Takes a lot of shots.
Good at progressive passing but overall pass completion average.
Good level of tackles and blocks.
Comparable players include Cifuentes and Hamer, players we've been linked to in past.

 

[Eric the meek]

Small point of order - correction, he's 23, not 22.

 

[Bakero]
