I know it is from FLW but they claim we are looking to sign Surridge for £5million. Fabrizio Romano claims Norwich are looking to sign Kasper Hogh from Bodo Glimt with a fresh bid of £6.94 million.
Now just think, if we had not spent £12 million on a squad player last window we could buy both of these forwards! [Post edited 29 Jan 9:00]

5 million seems unreassuringly low.
Makes me think he is sh1te. | | | |

I think the consensus now is that it fee was a lot less than 12m for McAteer.
Not sure it needs to be continually mentioned as a negative, especially if it's not right.

A post yesterday from a Scandinavian Ipswich fan said that Bodo Glint have a history of selling very good looking players for big money, who then fail to reproduce the form then return to Bodo again. They are based high into the Arctic circle and it is a very difficult pitch to play on and many team struggle there, not just Man City. It is not as straight forward as it first seems, mind you Kasper Hogh could be a very good player and go on to a great career in Norwich. |  | | |

FLW as a source is absolute guff. |  | | |

What makes you think having signed McAteer for £12m (spread over four years) would prevent us spending a similar amount on one or two players now? More of an issue is space in the 25-man squad.
In any case, who would we have played wide right for several matches during the first half of the season while Burns was injured and 19-year-old Walle Egeli getting up to speed? |  |

I don't think that is the case, there were actually documents released showing the future payments of £4m next season and £4m the season after so the £12m would make sense so that they had 3 equal payments of £4m |  |

Fair enough, am sure it was repeatedly posted on here that it was less but I can't remember by whom.

I am thinking Ben Johnson would have been every bit as good as McAteer on the right albeit neither are anywhere near as good as Wes Burns.
I read somewhere a while back that McKenna does not rate Johnson as a defender, which makes me wonder why we have not offloaded him (yet) this window - especially if the view is, he is currently the 4th choice right winger | | | |

Can't find the exact details, but it is the basis for this report as Leicester basically sold their future payments to Macquarie to get the cash now

They're being tricky with their wording. £5m was the fee Nashville paid. I'm guessing he'd now be valued at double that, maybe higher. | | | |

Narwich striker cost £1.5m hes currently on 10 goals this season and looks more effective than ours are currently showing. |  |

our set up is different. They don't get the goals from wingers like we do Clarke and Jaden. I'd prefer goals to be spread around rather than being reliant on one player | | | |

Firstly we'd have to find someone who wanted Johnson and where he'd be willing to go. Secondly, with Young injured (perhaps for a while), he is important cover at Fullback.
Apart from his shooting inaccuracy, I don't think McAteer's done a particularly bad job whenever I've seen him play.
But everyone seems to be obsessed with goalscoring. Despite the fact that we are already second best at it in the division (and Coventry's advantage comes from thumping QPR, Millwall and SheffWed early in the season). | |

In fairness he did score at Atletico Madrid in Spain last night and they won there - albeit the stats on that one look very smash / grab ish - and they also drew away twice in the competition, so it is not all home advantage that has powered their campaign this time around. | | | |

There is a home advantage, but I did also raise the point yesterday they've had their successes away.
Since they returned to European football in 20/21, they've won 32 of the European home games, and 9 away, but they have picked point up points on the road at Celtic, Dortmund, Atletico, Nice, Ajax, PSV.
Given their financial clout, their story is a romantic remarkable one. |  | | |

I don't think our transfer business has been anywhere near as bad as has been made out, far from it.
However, this one has to be, on current evidence, one of THE worst pound for pound transfers in ITFC and probably EFL history.
Hopefully he can show something in the second half of the season. | | | |

If he is good in a dead-end backwater with a remarkably small gene pool then he sounds the perfect fit for them. | | | |

given his MV is 8m euros or about 5-6m pounds dont think we will be buying him for 5m pounds 10m maybe but not 5m | | | |

Is there a rule that says our #9 doesnt need to score goals, and we need only our wingers ( just 2 players) to score the goals ? If so why are we looking for a striker that does , and ill wager we font get one that is currently on 10 goals at just £1.5m price tag.
Just thinking, maybe were not looking in the right places for our players? | |

I don't disagree but its a bit idealistic to point to 1 seemingly roaring success and rue that we don't have that. He's very much the exception rather than the rule in terms of the value he's adding at that price point. We've made similar punts ourselves, AAH and Ahadme for example, the fact their careers haven't gone the same way as Makama is being a bit wise after the event IMO.
Other clubs will look at what we paid for Burns, Chaplin, even Hirst despite his recent form, Morsy etc and wonder why they haven't been able to get such value from much more expensive acquisitions.
That's not to say some of our recruitment hasn't been questionable, but they wont all work out. Norwich themselves have spent a lot of money on absolute dross in relatively recent years which nobody talks about, we only tend to focus on the hits. Their record signings are Tzolis (who?) for 11m EUR, he played 20 odd games and they sold him for 3.5m, Raschica for the same money, not many appearances and a big haircut on him, and Naismith another 11m 40 odd games, 6 goals and released on a free. They're very far from being the gold standard for recruitment. | | | |

A little surprised you were prepared to place last month's rumours above other available evidence, especially to the point of suggesting consensus, but I very much agree on the topic being done beyond death.
This is also the week in which we perhaps concede an expenditure of £4m or £5m for Sammie's 18 months of service, excluding wages, yet the chatter around that outlay has been comparatively silent since it became clear he was struggling. Ogbene, £8m. Sindre's terms. Rather unjust to have focused on one player so much to the extent we have, and unclear to me at least who will prove our biggest profit or loss once accounts finally close.
Sam Surridge's last competitive game appears to have been in early November, such is the MLS season. In pre-season at the moment, regular season returns late Feb, so he'd likely need a few weeks to get up to fitness if he is the one. | | | |
