The offers from Hull didn’t match that number which was our asking price? We aren’t a forced seller so it makes no odds to do it as a loan then a permanent.

I understand and agree, but surely if we had set out the asking price at £2 million during the transfer window, and Sheffield United were interested, it would've made no difference to either party to sell permanently.
The only stumbling block I can think of as to why a loan-to-buy deal is more suitable for Sheffield United is wages. In theory, it could mean that they aren't paying his full wage for the first six months (previously noted as a rumoured issue), but that we are still making a profit on him via this route. Norwood gets 6 months on a higher pay, before taking a cut and getting a signing on fee in the process. We cover our losses and make a profit on the player. Sheffield United get a good player on a lower yearly wage.

Do we still own Norwood? He looks as though he is going to make it 3 promotions to the Premier League in a row. Sheffield Utd, the not so massive from that city look a good bet for an automatic place if they carry on the way they're going.
Surely his value must be in the lucky charm market, get your team a good rub of Ollie Norwood & up you go!
Seriously though he is a great passer of the ball & quietly pulls the strings in the middle of the pitch, too quietly to play in The Premier League apparently.
I like him & think he is at least as good as Propper.

Sheff Utd bought him. Hull kept putting in pathetic offers.
Nice to see him doing well. A decent player at Championship level.
I'd love to see Sheffield United get promoted just to REALLY piss off the massive fans I know. They're already quite pissed off but that would destroy them. [emoji23]

There is another reason why I’d like them to do well. Managed by ex Albion player Chris Wilder.

He is still our player - he joined the Blades on loan after the window (to buy) had closed. However, there is an agreement in place for United to purchase him when the January transfer window opens.
Absolutely. He’s a very good manager who’s done really well at every club he’s been at.

That is how I read it. I wonder how definite those type of agreements are as I would imagine there are a few get out clauses.eg not produced the goods expected but obviously not in this case or family cang settle in new area.
And Paul Watson is their physio.

Any price of contract details? Hopefully clearing the books for an incoming player in the January window.

He wasn’t listed in the 25 man squad so someone has to drop out for any new squad additions next month. Probaby quite easy to work out who is at risk.

Norwood going will have no bearing on our ability to sign a player in January. A) we are a Premier League club any transfer fee we recoup for him will be a mere drop in the PL money ocean. B)He isn't part of the 25 man squad so selling him doesn't free up a spot in the squad.
It was confirmed he'd join Sheff Utd fully in January when he went on loan back in August, the only reason it wasn't a a full transfer then was because of the early transfer window closure for permanent deals this season.

I do not think there will be any additions in January as we are not desperate for incoming. but possibly some going out on loan etc.
