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 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. ignore me my maths is wrong there then.

Some of players may have got an automatic wage bump too from promotion.

Does he? Would make Norwood signing make more sense though and lower the overall risk to the club. if powell is off and norwood replaces him. 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? Did you watch us/Powell last season? He played most of his football and his best football as an 8 who dropped deep and dictated play. Fiorini will compete with Collar.

Norwood on a three year deal! I hope not. Breaks everything we have said about older players etc. Uundoubtedly a good player but he's 33 years old. 2 years I could just about go with.. He was available for selection for every match of the last six seasons. Fit as a butchers dog.

We do need a midfield General, in the mould of Marsden.

We've not said we're signing exclusively young players though and every other signing has been in that profile. No reason why we can't add a bit of experience and pedigree too. 3 year deal feels very Powell though... As in a marquee Stott signing. Edit - McClean for Wrexham is 35 and their fans still love him and he puts in a shift a wingback, which is even more demanding than CM. Norwood doesn't have the injury record of Powell either. We’re not opposed to the right signing over 30, but a 3 year deal would fly in the face of what we’ve been told. Ben getting a 2 year was held up as a special case.

Is Collar’s passing ability the new Croasdale’s passing ability for you 🙄

Also, whatever happens, we still need a RB.

Couldn't be offered 2 years tho. I'm absolutely loving the fact we look to be signing him. Just not on a 3 year. A 2 year with an option would've felt better and may be the case? I'd imagine it's only that length to secure the deal.

If the club thinks he is fully fit and capable of playing and doing a job for us for 3 seasons then why not. That would still make him younger than a few still playing regular now at the end of his time with us. They,ll know more about him and his personality than we do to make up their mind whether he,d put a real shift in or one just looking for more time in the game before he has to go out into the big bad world.

He has been with us since the start of pre season training so the club would know how he is after nearly three months. Shame Jordon Rossiter didn’t come up to the mark.

Norwood on a three year deal! My pessimistic nature immediately makes me think that this means someone else is injured. 😬
