Norwood joins on three-year deal

An interesting one this one, signing a 33-Year-old on a three year deal doesn’t come across well on paper and may not to some fans. We let Madden & Sarce go because we were signing younger players.
Smacks of him not being able to get a club and now signing for us, although I’m happy to back any player that pulls on navy blue.

He played in the Premier League last season, Madden & Sarcevic with all due respect were playing in League two, that’s not to say they weren’t amazing for what we needed at the time but although Norwood is 33 with playing in the Championship and Premier League over the past few years I’d suggest he’ll be more than ok for us, not one I was expecting to with but for me it’s a great addition.

I’m caught in the middle here, agree with both views. Brilliant signing in terms of ability and experience, however a 3 year deal for a 33 year old is a bit of a red flag especially given that Madden, Sarcevic etc were not given new extensions. He should be a key addition for us but we thought that with Powell, i’m also a bit worried and hoping he’s not injury prone as if so we’re stuck with an unsalable asset on big wages and won’t be able to shift him on. Hopefully he proves to be an inspired signing tho and take us to League One Champions.
