These lads will need an older head or two within the group when our season begins to twist and turn. He seems to be an ideal player to play the Camps or Bate roles when needed.
There have been stories about Powell possibly moving on this summer, which would make a deal like this make even more sense

Think everyone would take him on a 1 year deal. 2 yrs is probably the price of getting a player to drop down 1/2 levels and some wages.
So if it happens it really hinges on how long the deal is for the reception.
2 and an option and I'd be on board.

He’d be a decent signing and a good leader in the team. Don’t think we should be giving out a three year deal to him though - two would be ok.

Norwood was on a rumoured 20k a week in the prem last season.
Id take a guess he will be on similar numbers to maybe just lower than powell but thats still a couple million wage per the 3 year deal and would eliminate nearly all profit we make on bate,Fevrier if we were to sell them

3yr deal potentially keep wage down goes against our model he wont come cheap and not sure he is our type of midfielder got to be able get about the pitch for us, seems more type you'd want to put on see games out but should not paying top whack for that Our side though youngish they all have reasonable amount of experience just hope weve learned our lesson with Powell, nobody else be willing to offer that level of security to a 33yr old He looked well off the pace in that Blackburn friendly, know he played plenty in prem last year but lets be honest Sheff U were fodder and all but championship club in name so not sure he be infinitely better than what we have I'd rather spend money on a player along similar profile to what weve done so far, but its not my money as such Our type of midfielder is seemingly changing. He was a key component in a side that finished ninth in the PL a few years back and his release seemed to split Sheffield United fans. I’m confident when up to match fitness he’d be an asset this season. In another two years less so. If he is signing then Powell’s got to be out of here.

I doubt we’d pay to have both of them around on long term deals with their wage demands.

Were Norwood and powell at United at the same time?

Would make Norwood signing make more sense though and lower the overall risk to the club.

Then weve signed a CM for a AM (10) so we would still need another 10 unless we see collar playing there like he has done and i wouldn't mind that although do we lack passing abilty in that position then?

I agree re the type of midfielder we are looking for changing like the type of striker.
DC loves control and ball playing ability in the deep lying mids - hence the end of Croasdale. Unless he has Powell in mind, we don't have any straight swaps for Camps or Bate - either we play a 4/6 and 2x 8/10s like we have previously or play more a destroyer alongside in Mingi, Onyangyo or Connolly but DC may prefer them in defence.

That Sheffield United team under Wilder and co was a hard working team.

At the moment we play a double pivot though. Two CMs and 1 AM. We'd be fine at AM with Bailey, Fiorini and Collar. Arguably the squad would be more balanced.

Id take a guess he will be on similar numbers to maybe just lower than powell but thats still a couple million wage per the 3 year deal and would eliminate nearly all profit we make on bate,Fevrier if we were to sell them Is Powell on 15k...? Thought the rumoured figure was half that. 15k wages is what you'd need for a 3 year deal to cost c. 2mil. Wouldn't think about selling Bate or Fevrier just yet! Players do go for a couple of mil in this league though. They also may be on decent wages. Reality is that wages are a much bigger part of a club's expenditure than transfer fees at this level.
