@Luke8644@JPrentice8 19m on potential is something 5 teams in the world can afford to be doing. How many players at this level get sold for more than that. It’s bad business
@Tants7 If you pay 20m for a player in the championship, they have to be the best player in the league almost immediately. Knapper gets stick but 20m on Egeli, 14m on McAteer, 15m on Azón, 8m on Akpom, 50k per week on Young are all fireable offences from Ashton.
Feel this is a similar type move to signing Ben Chrisene. Low risk, cheap, homegrown, EFL Loan experience, England Youth caps. Nice value play with potential upside. #ncfc
🚨 #NCFC closing in on the permanent addition of #BrentfordFC midfielder Paris Maghoma.

🇺🇸 Sources: After a heated meeting with Norwich City sporting director Ben Knapper and head coach Philip Clement... it appears that Josh Sargent has played his last game for the club.
Sargent was seen visibly upset.
One source says there was a comment made regarding Sargent's family which was the last straw. He continues to train with second team as he pushes for transfer to Toronto FC.
TFC & Norwich continue negotiations.
@Onel_Mourner He said in his interview that he was aware of interest and was keeping himself fit. I see no reason to complain about Clement’s judgement on holding him back until ready, which will be soon
The meltdown about Ahmed not playing against Walsall is a bit mind boggling. It’s only 4 weeks since the end of his season so will hardly spend much time to get up to speed. I remember similar concerns being raised about Mattsson earlier this season. Now our best midfielder #ncfc
It’s an FA Cup game against L2 opposition and we have a week till our next game, where he will obviously be involved from either the start or the bench. Chill out #ncfc
The blank page. A phrase Philippe Clement used to describe the approach he would take with all players in his evaluation on arrival.
Except it’s not blank for some is it.

For those concerned about handing out long contracts to managers:
It is often the case that clauses are inserted in these deals that any compensation for being sacked is offset by the salary received from a new employer.
#ncfc
E.g If Liam Manning was hired by a new club then there’s a good chance that his compensation payments would be vastly reduced from Norwich. Only scenario that full compensation is paid is if they’re never rehired. Which of course a manager is not incentivised to do #ncfc
