Rather that than going out and panic buying! I'd have liked Wildschut, but never for 7 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me a little of Ibe in his strengths and his raw talents. Having seen Mac get the best out of Ibe (eventually) it could have been a gamble worth taking at a few million in today's market. But once the price got to £7million...that's getting to proven player money. Smart to walk away Very well put Be very interested to know what Norwich fans think about this signing at the quoted price of £7million pounds. Huge jump up from the £4million we reportedly offered. Think most fans of our club would've questioned signing him for that fee and there would also have been an expectation for him to live up to that fee. When you consider ince cost £4.5million with a healthy track record in the championship it goes to show how the fees are spiralling out of control. January transfer windows make me nervous because there is always the pressure for clubs to sign players but sometimes the signings appear to be just the sake of getting someone, anyone in to appease fans. Think this window we've played it about right. Experienced campaigner, loan and a younger player to bring on to hopefully become a first team member. Hopefully we won't be lashing out on last minute craziness. Although if it is the right type of player (ambiguous I know) then maybe...... Personally be glad to see the window shut to stop some of the more ridiculous column filling in the press. For which I'm sorry to say the Derby Telegraph is very guilty of. Rehashing the same story over and over again without saying anything new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 £7 mill seems like blinding value for a player with a whole half a season of decent football behind him. Gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted. £7 million for a 25 year old who's made 197 career appearances and scored 27 goals? No thank you but well played Wigan you've truly had the Norwich trousers down and spanked their arse. Now that's panic buying by a Manager that's almost ****** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 We could invest 2 million of the 5 million we were willing to spend on Yanic on a decent worldwide scouting network between now and the end of the season and then sign a couple of good players using the other 3 million we were willing to spend on Yanic. The last two transfer windows have shown us, to get the quality we crave we need to spend big money! Unless we look abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Watkins price will rise too much, so we should be OK. My concern is that, it was so so obvious we needed to strengthen down the left-hand side...yet we buy De Sart, who looks like a slower Omar Mascarell, and David Nugent, who just does what Darren Bent does. The recruitment team at Derby are incompetent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you imagine the money spent on Camara, Blackman, Anya and Nugent as well as the combined wages were given to a competent person in the world of Worldwide transfers, it could be frightening.

Don't forget the Vydra fee! We'll never be able to sell him for more. Blackman I'm still convinced will come good, especially under McClaren, but might be the only one of the forum with that opinion. Needed a goal-scoring wide man. Got David Nugent. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree in principle but how many games have they played between them? Probably as many in all as a certain striker who cost nearly as much as them combined. I'll wait to see what Nugent can do for us before writing him off I reckon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
