I didn’t think their overseas players covered themselves in glory last season. Seems a bit odd that they are repeating the same strategy. |  |

Because foreign players have no idea how irrelevant and sh!te they are thus easier to sign?? |  |

Cheaper innit. They did v well out Buendia and you can't argue that Pukki hasn't been good for them.
They've had some shockers too, Van Wolfswinkle, possibly a bigger let down than Alfonso Alves was for boro |  |

It could be a Euro/Bitcoin/Sterling exchange rate tax avoidance off-shore thing.
But it could be they like signing rubbish. |  |

Less likely to get into a bidding war I guess? Plus as others have said they occasionally unearth a gem and sell them for a small fortune. |  | | |

Supply and demand. Abroad is a very big place compared to the UK
And despite the Conservatives best efforts to wreck the economy, Sterling is quite strong at the moment - particularly against the Euro. So European players are ‘cheaper’ this year and cheaper to pay.
Plus of course Norwich has an airport - and the undying support of Liz Truss. |  |

Norwich have a scouting network in South America, that they've funded since 2019.
Equally, whilst some of their players didn't make the Prem grade last season, they might well do in the champs this season and they're all young players with age on their side.
Emi Buendia on his own has earnt them more money than all their costs outbound.
There's a limited pool of good quality players in England who are willing to play in the second tier, who might have the potential to play at Prem level.
I also note the rules re Work Permits play a big part now. The guy Nunez they've likely just signed has represented Chile on 9 occasions recently and that enabled him to qualify. | | | |
