[Football] Richie Towell looks happy

[Guy Fawkes]

Neither Norwood or Towell are Premier League players if we're serious about wanting to compete. I think both will be on the market for new clubs, either permanently or on loan if we're paying them more than another club are prepared to. If we keep them, they'll be hoping we get relegated so they get a chance in the team. I think the irony with being a lower end Premier League team is that the weaker players are inevitably needing the club to struggle in order to know their future can be at this club.

Or is that a bit too cynical?

How many players have been written off as not good enough for us only to succeed and prove the doubters wrong? (either at the club or after they have moved on to a new one)

Over the years, not many* I would have thought (I'm discounting the ones who are routinely classified as shit after their first two matches, because this would include nearly everyone!)


* and most of those now play for Burnley!

Can only see either Towell or Norwood bringing in about 1.5M each if transfered to a Championship club. Their wages should be mostly but not completely covered by a loan and that way they're there if we need them should the worst happen.

3M would get swallowed up and not make a huge difference right now when you consdier EPL wages and anyone saying we could buy a Gross, well we could, but then you have to pay him. Plus good luck finding another!

From his interview after the playoff final Norwood wants to be a Fulham player and hopes it gets sorted soon. Towell still looks promising so I would hope we keep him for now.

Plus he has the BEST song

I'd be quite surprised if Fulham decided to make a bid for Norwood, though if he's saying he wants to stay there, then one assumes he's heard the right noises from them.

I'd imagined he'd end up at another Championship club, a Swansea perhaps, or a Hull.

You can't recall loans.

You can't recall loans.

I presume he meant at the end of the season.
