And not Ashton reacting to pressure from the fan base and trying a quick win to
Improve his standing with the fans.

Ashton clearly has an ego and recent analysis of his role in recruitment will have stung him
I'm sure. It’s a key window for us and setting the club up for the next 2 years that we have to get a good hit rate on signings.

I’ve not seen loads of Nunez, just bits in the derby games and thought he’s looked ok, but this is a lot of money for a player who if he does any wrong, the morons will be on his back as an ex Norwich player.

Still let’s get the deal over the line and see how he fits in!

Any fan thinking that would be giving themselves far too much credit.

unlikely granted! But I’ve heard things that have happened at clubs that are done
To appease people, fans and it’s quite surprising.


So what have you "heard"?

Because, although some may question Ashton's methods, he didn't just open his black book on Wednesday morning and think "I'm getting a bit of heat here, let's just sign Norwich's best midfielder and shut everyone up".

He's about the most similar player to Hayden Hackney in the Championship - if that is the profile we've clearly wanted we've been able to land a proven Champ player of that profile

Yes. All joking aside (and it is hilarious) he is also a fantastic signing. Half the price of Hackney too. £7.5m up front is a good deal for a 25 year old who has proven himself to be a great player at this level and has room for growth too.

If you look who's doing the downvoting it's the usual "happy clapper, no criticism allowed" crew.

Looks like I’m going to have to join the non groovy gang. How much is a yearly subscription?

In fairness I can see why people have downvoted and expected it but I stand by its a lot of money for a player with Norwich connections who will undoubtedly will be tarnished with being ex Norwich whenever he has some bad games or he doesn’t hit the ground running.

It’s a deal wrought with risk from that perspective as some of the morons won’t accept him no matter what he does.

As I’ve said hopefully he’s a massive success here and it won’t be an issue.

Not really though. The OP has insinuated that Ashton has gone for Nunez simply to appease the fans. It's a bit of a nonsensical suggestion, hence the down votes. Regardless, you can 'only ask a question' and still be downvoted. If I asked: "Are Ipswich actually a bigger club than Norwich?", I'd only be asking a question, but I would expect a ton of downvotes!
